BetterSign™
Set up a stronger backup key to recover if a key is lost — no company, no support ticket, no permission needed.
Each entry carries WASM lock scripts defining what the next entry must satisfy. Encode threshold signatures, delegation, and revocation policy directly in the log.
A stable name on the outside, freely changeable keys on the inside.
The picture
Your public key is an open padlock you give out freely. Anyone can click it shut on a note, but only your private key — the half you never share — can open it again. BetterSign sets up these locks with modern, quantum-resistant methods, so you never have to think about it.
Encryption establishes a shared secret to the recipient's advertised public key via a KEM; only the holder of the private half can decapsulate. BetterSign supports post-quantum KEMs for forward secrecy against future computers.
What it fixes
How it works
You create a fresh key on your own device
You add it as a new signed page in your logbook
The old key is marked retired, so it can no longer be used
Followers verify the change themselves and switch over automatically
Your VLAD — your identity — never changes through any of it
The building blocks
A VLAD remains stable while its keys and protected metadata rotate.
Every state transition is hash-linked and authorized by the previous log state.
VLADemlia helps peers locate current records without becoming the trust root.
Key changes become signed updates that followers can verify and apply.
The jargon, translated
Questions
No. Point your tools at a VLAD and BetterSign keeps the keys current for you — SSH that doesn't break when keys rotate, TLS that renews itself, API tokens you can rotate freely.
Recovery is built in. A stronger, better-protected backup key can fix things if a normal key is lost or stolen — no out-of-band scramble.
The longer a single key stays in use, the more chances a copy ends up somewhere it shouldn't. Rotating retires old risk — like changing the locks now and then.
No. A VLAD is owned by you and no one else, proven by math anyone can check, and still verifiable years later — even offline.
