introduction

tsrct is a cloud-based platform for content verification using public key infrastructure (PKI). tsrct provides the following capabilities:

register of public keys
creation, publication, and verification of digitally signed content
digitally verifiable grant of permissions for arbitrary purposes

tsrct does not store private keys of any kind. At no time are any private keys of any sort ever accessed by the tsrct cloud. The only exception to the above rule is your backup key that is kept encrypted in the cloud using two sets of AES 128 bit keys. These AES encryption keys are never accessed by the tsrct cloud and are known only to you.

tsrct provides a mobile app for end users to interact with the platform. The mobile app is designed to make it easy for non-technical users to access the full set of tsrct’s capabilities with no knowledge of PKI, cryptography, information management, etc.

tsrct provides a command line interface (“cli”) that can make the process of working with private keys easier on your local machine, but that tool is not required to effectively use tsrct and the assumption is that most use will be directly via the tsrct API.
