Abstract
Systems and techniques are provided for decentralized name verification using recursive attestation. A name and identifying information may be received at a computing device. The computing device may determine that there is a contact item that includes both the name and the identifying information in a contacts database stored on the computing device or accessible to the computing device. A positive attestation and an attestation score for an entity associated with the computing device may be sent to be used to generate an attestation score for the name and identifying information. The attestation score for the name and identifying information is used to determine whether to allow the creation of an account with the name. The attestation score for the entity associated with the computing device may be generated based a positive attestation from another computing device.
