Abstract
Disclosed embodiments relate to decentralized and scalable trust among a plurality of decentralized applications. Techniques include receiving, at a first decentralized application, a signature associated with a first public key, receiving data representing one or more permissions specified by a trusted root application and signed by the trusted root application, signing a second public key associated with a second decentralized application, signing data representing one or more permissions specified by the first decentralized application, and providing the signature associated with the second public key and the signed data representing one or more permissions specified by the first decentralized application, in order to thereby provide trust between the first decentralized application and the second decentralized application.
