Abstract
One embodiment of the present application sets forth a computer-implemented method for establishing trust for handles used to identify digital objects in a digital object architecture (DOA) by associating a first attester identifier with a first attester from a trusted public key infrastructure (PKI), identifying a first digital object public key for a first digital object, generating, by the first attester, a first digital object identity attestation that associates the first digital object public key with a handle identifier for the first digital object, wherein the handle identifier is external to the trusted PKI, and generating a first attester identity attestation attesting that the first attester is authentic, where the first attester identity attestation includes the first attester identifier.
