The objective of the KERI project is to create the infrastructure for the trust-spanning layer of the Internet in the most open-source software license. The foundation should provide the financial resources to overcome any barriers.
Objective
The foundation’s long-term objective is to establish a not-for-profit organization that generates funds. This organization will ensure the security and reputation of the KERI Suite while supporting its user base and donors with open-source code, various services, and transparent business relationships with companies.
Mature the tooling
With financial resources secured and the foundation’s structure established, we can focus on maturing the tooling (proof of concept). Allocating funds takes precedence over all other considerations, such as supporting the open-source base. Our primary goal is to reduce complications by addressing the 5 W’s: Wallet, Witness, Watcher, Web, and Wizard.

Identity and Security
The problem with Internet security is that it’s based on flawed identity, and security experts don’t understand identity well enough to fix it.
The problem with Internet identity is that it’s based on flawed security, and identity experts don’t understand security well enough to fix it.
KERI’s design reflects a sufficient understanding of both security and identity to fix both Internet identity and Internet security at the same time.
