The Duniter protocol is composed of a set of documents describing actions in a distributed ledger of transactions and identities :
- The `Transaction` document allow to move funds from **inputs** to **outputs**. Each **output** is created with a **script** describing unlocking conditions. This conditions must be fullfilled to be used as an transaction **input**. Since Duniter is made to run libre cryptocurrencies, a special input is available regularly to provide an Universal Dividend.

This conditions must be fullfilled to be used as an transaction **input**. Since Duniter is made to run libre cryptocurrencies, its possible to list Universal Dividends to use.
- The `Identity` document allow an individual to create an identity in the system with a username and a cryptographic public key. Each individual must have only one Identity, the certification procedure being a way to prevent most multi-identities per individual attemps.

- The `Certification` document allow other individuals to certify this identity so it can enter the Web of Trust, a *directed graph* storing trust and knownledge between identities.
