Abstract
Techniques for establishing implicit trust of authorship certification are provided. A message's domain is validated in response to a valid domain certificate. A message's author is validated in response to an author identification, which is acquired from the message and which is supplied to a domain service of the author. The domain service is implicitly trusted based on the domain being validated via the domain certificate. The domain service uses the author's identification to traverse to a specific location within the domain that houses an author certificate for the author. The author certificate is compared against a message certificate that accompanies the message in order to establish trust with the author and the author's message.
