2 | 2 |
|
3 | | -Trusted Server is a privacy-preserving edge computing platform built on Fastly Compute that enables GDPR-compliant ad serving and synthetic ID generation. |
| 3 | +Trusted Server is an open-source, cloud based orchestration framework and runtime for publishers. It moves code execution and operations that traditionally occurs in browsers (via 3rd party JS) to secure, zero-cold-start WASM binaries running in WASI supported environments. |

|
5 | | -## Overview |
| 5 | +Trusted Server is the new execution layer for the open-web, returning control of 1st party data, security, and overall user-experience back to publishers. |

7 | | -Trusted Server provides a privacy-first approach to digital advertising by: |
| 7 | +## Key Features |
8 | 8 |
|
9 | | -- Generating synthetic IDs that preserve user privacy |
10 | | -- Enforcing GDPR consent checks before any tracking |
11 | | -- Running at the edge for low-latency performance |
12 | | -- Supporting real-time bidding workflows |
| 9 | +Trusted Server provides publishers benefits such as: |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +- Dramatically increased control over 3rd party data sharing (while maintaining user-privacy compliance such as GDPR through CMP integrations) |
| 12 | +- Increased ad inventory revenue within cookie restricted (Safari Webkit) or other JS-challenged environments |
| 13 | +- Ability to serve ALL assets under 1st party context with on-the-fly URL detection and rewriting via HTML/CSS stream inspection |
| 14 | +- Cryptographically sign bid requests for downstream partners to verify requests originated from specific publisher's Trusted Server instance, preventing fraud and spoofing |
| 15 | +- Creates deterministic, cryptographically Synthetic identifiers (Publisher Owned Synthetic IDs) without relying on third-party cookies |
| 16 | +- Native integration with Prebid-Server and other third-party monetization and ID vendors |
| 17 | +- Native support for parsing RSC (React Server Components) for Next.JS front-end origins |
| 18 | +- Dynamic backend support for ease of integrating existing publisher environments |
| 19 | +- Support for existing 3rd party JS workflows |
