Trust over IP (ToIP)
A Linux Foundation framework that organizes decentralized trust into a dual stack: technology layers (identifiers, credentials, protocols) and governance layers (rules, trust registries, ecosystems). It gives SSI deployments a shared model for how technical and human trust combine.
The useful contribution of Trust over IP is insisting that governance is a layer, not an afterthought. A verifier needs to know which issuers count and under what rules, and that question is human and jurisdictional rather than cryptographic. Every national wallet program ends up building the governance layer whether or not it uses this vocabulary.
