Core Principles
Assertions1More concrete than goals, if any one of these things is not true then it is not an Assign Onward implementation.
for a secure, efficient and future-ready implementation:
- Transparency: information2at least all information which is stored in non-separable items.stored on a blockchain is readily available to anyone.
- Signatures always include time of signing.
- Public/Private Key Pairs used in share transfers are never reused.3Keys are never reused for share transfers. Other keys used to establish personal identity of course get reused until they are expired and replaced with new ones signed by the expiring ones.
- Share transfers only occur with offer and acceptance by all parties.4The requirement for acceptance of share assignments means that noone can lock up a public key by placing shares to it without the owner of the corresponding private key authorizing the transaction.
- Cryptographic Algorithms may expand to include new ones in the future.
- Separable items to support removal of illegal5or simply unwantedcontent without degrading integrity of the remaining data.6Note that information essential to contract processing cannot be separable.
- Share expiration, no immortal shares - sometimes keys get lost, life goes on.
- No dependency on proof of work.
