The first in a series of posts about major design decisions along the way to a permissioned data protocol for atproto.
Permissioned Data Diary 2: Buckets - Daniel's Leaflets
The second in a series of posts building up a solution to permissioned data on atproto. We introduce buckets: a new protocol primitive for creating a shared social context.
Permissioned data is a love triangle - Nick's Blog
Permissioned data is a love triangle between the user, the identities they grant permissions to, and the applications everyone uses to view controlled data. We don't need to change or reinvent the protocol to have it, because ATProtocol already supports it.
Permissioned Data Diary 3: Your Bucket, My Data - Daniel's Leaflets
The third in a series of posts building up a solution to permissioned data on atproto. We look at two different models for where buckets live and why the simpler-looking one doesn’t work out.
The Arbiter - Group Management for Permissioned Spaces and Beyond - Zicklag's Leaflets
The permissioned data proposal has the concept of membership, but leaves it to the app to orchestrate it. The arbiter is our idea for a general-purpose, interoperable ATProto group membership service.
Permissioned Data Diary 7: Off the Record - Daniel's Leaflets
In which we put records in a repo, sign them, and sync them (but not quite the way you think).
Encrypted Spaces — Research preview
An architecture for collaborative applications where data is encrypted and operations are cryptographically verifiable.
The Atproto Spaces Alpha is Live - AT Protocol
Atproto Spaces, formerly known as “the permissioned data protocol,” is a new extension to atproto that enables non-public data. The alpha is now officially open. Here’s how to develop with it and what to expect as we work towards the full release.

timelocked secrets
Encrypt messages that can only be decrypted after a specific time. Powered by drand timelock encryption and stored on your atproto PDS.
B-Sides: Permissioned data is a love triangle - Nick's Blog
This is a B-sides post with unpolished thoughts that didn’t make it into the main article.

Overview of Ente's end-to-end encrypted architecture—learn how your data is encrypted on-device, securely shared, and safely stored using cryptography.
Spaces as Layers - Nick's Blog
Public anchor records paired with sidecar records in permissioned spaces give ATProtocol apps a composable pattern for blending open discoverability with controlled access.
