Notary is a project that aims to make the internet more secure by simplifying how people publish and verify content. The Notary project is made up of a server and a client made to run and interact with trusted collections. Instead of relying on TLS to secure communications with a web server that's susceptible to malicious content, publishers can sign their content offline using secure keys with Notary. Once ready to make the content available, publishers can then push their signed trusted collection to a Notary Server. Consumers can then communicate with any Notary server or (insecure) mirror through the publisher's public key acquired through a secure channel. This key will be what determines the validity and integrity of the received content.
