"Trust evolves along a continuum. At the personal level, it begins with identity, the belief that a signer or speaker will keep their word. At the institutional level, it is mediated by delegation and credentialing: we trust entities because they have been certified by others. At the cryptographic level, trust becomes procedural, shifting from human judgment to verifiable logic." —@Tim Bouma
