title = "Genuine Personal Identifiers and Mutual Sureties for Sybil-Resilient Community Growth",
abstract = "Observing its lack, we introduce the notion of a genuine personal identifier—a globally unique and singular identifier of a person—and present a foundation for a decentralized, grassroots, bottom-up process by which every human being may create, own, and protect the privacy of a genuine personal identifier. Our solution is based on a web-of-trust and is designed for a distributed realization; we apply graph-theoretic notions to show that digital communities can grow indefinitely while ensuring bounded sybil penetration.",
