QEI - The Quiet Enjoyment Infrastructure

Quiet Enjoyment is a term from the world of physical real estate. It means the right of a tenant to live in a safe environment without fear of intrusion or structural failure. It provides an apt metaphor for what we would want in our online life — no breaches, no secret "back doors" for intruders, no malware infestations or other failures of security or safety.

A detailed specification for QEI was first introduced in Quiet Enjoyment, Wes Kussmaul's vision for an online infrastructure based on the time-tested paradigm of physical real estate, but with the added proven technology of AC-based PKI identities that will enable the same familiar principles to function reliably — often even better — in today's digital community of billions.

A key concept of QEI is the idea of indoor spaces (think buildings) where occupants are known and accountable. A related critical concept is the occupancy permit, signed by professionally licensed individuals responsible for the design, construction, and inspection of digital buildings.

You'll see buildings, occupancy permits, and professional licensing in the "old proven methods" section back on the home page.

QEI is the blueprint for Authentiverse

Authentiverse and all of its elements are built according to the specifications detailed in QEI.
