    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for a decentralized database associating public keys and communications addresses. A signed secret message may be sent by a validator computing device of a peer-to-peer network for a decentralized database to a communications address from a request for verification entry in a verification queue of the decentralized database. A second request for verification including the communications address and a user-signed secret message may be received. The user-signed secret message may be verified using a public key from the request for verification entry in the verification queue. The communications address and public key may be written to a verified database of the decentralized database when verifying the user-signed secret message causes a number of user-signed secret messages received in requests for verification with the communications address and successfully verified to meet a threshold number.

    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.
