Acknowledgments

No one writes identity and transport software in a vacuum. We definitely didn't.

Companion packages

These packages shape how libself is built and integrated:

• libsafe for Ed25519 keys and signature operations
• libfast for QUIC transport integration and attached connection identity flow

Protocol and standards references

These references informed identity format, resolution, and authentication behavior:

• did:key Method
• W3C DID Core 1.1
• W3C DID Resolution
• Multibase
• Multicodec
• Ed25519 (RFC 8032)
• QUIC Transport (RFC 9000)

Ecosystem references

• OpenSSH Portable for long-standing TOFU and key-pinning operational patterns

Thank you to everyone publishing open standards, reference material, and working implementations. You made this possible.
