We are keen to support more interoperability activity and hopefully testing this fall and winter. In order to do this we would like to gather feedback from the community as to where we are at so we can assess how to move forward.
It’s a great pleasure to share with you DINZ Reflections Report, a seminal piece of work that DINZ’s Digital Identity Trust Framework working group has developed over several months.
For businesses the world over, confidence in digital authenticity is in short supply. Can you be sure that your bank’s website is not an elaborate phishing recreation? Did that e-invoice really come from your business partner? How can you tell? [...]
Zain Yousaf, our Product Principal, and Marco took over to showcase Console to the audience. They did a walkthrough of the Console to help everyone understand how they can build privacy-preserving apps through this no-code dev tool.
This article explains how verifiable credentials can be used to benefit event organizers and visitors alike based on a practical usage of the Lissi team.
Yes, verifiable authentic human content is important. I also think cryptography can provide better transparency for synthetic content. It's one of my favorite applications of W3C Verifiable Credentials.
Since the same data is required and utilised by everyone, blockchain-based SSI can satisfy the demand for general service for data without creating competition while also adhering to legislation and consumer expectations around data protection.
the solution has allowed CaixaBank, at the request of a fictitious user, to issue an account ownership credential and, subsequently, this credential has been used to proceed with the direct debit of the invoices of Aigües de Barcelona
The digital and physical world are merging more than ever before. As the supply chain becomes more ‘phygital,’ innovative ways of sharing data – like using verifiable credentials – are helping to build more trust with data along the supply chain. Join us as we chat with Senior VP of Innovation & Partnerships at GS1 US, Melanie Nuce, as we explore what’s around the corner and how standards play
I witness demos of Social Sensemaker and We, working examples of Holochain apps that help groups create healthy online social spaces to work and play in
In keeping with the DWeb Camp theme, we also demonstrated how decentralized identifiers, identity web wallets, and verified credentials can be powerfully leveraged in Ethereal Engine to enable an entirely new paradigm of frictionless portable identity that champions user privacy and dignity.
provides valuable market size data for historical (Volume** & Value) from 2016 to 2020 which is estimated and forecasted till 2026*. Some are the key & emerging players that are part of coverage and have being profiled are Transmute (United States), Consensys (United States), uPort (United States), IBM (United States), Tykn Tech (Netherlands), Blockstack (United States), Danube Tech (Austria), Trinsic (United States), Spherity (Germany), Microsoft (United States).
Interestingly, all interviewed users claimed to have had a seamless and easy onboarding experience all the way from download through wallet creation — yet they still managed to give their SRPs to phishing scammers.
Blockchains are not required for exchanging verifiable credentials, but layer-2 networks like Ion, built on top of Bitcoin, can provide an additional level of security when creating Interestingly, all interviewed users claimed to have had a seamless and easy onboarding DIDs.
I will focus on three types of situations where decentralization is important:
Decentralization for making better decisions in concave environments, where pluralism and even naive forms of compromise are on average likely to outperform the kinds of coherency and focus that come from centralization.
Decentralization for censorship resistance: applications that need to continue functioning while resisting attacks from powerful external actors.
Decentralization as credible fairness: applications where DAOs are taking on nation-state-like functions like basic infrastructure provision, and so traits like predictability, robustness and neutrality are valued above efficiency.
Because it’s visual and experiential, the metaverse is “a little bit easier to grasp from a leadership perspective,” said Cutlan. “I don’t know anyone who saw early days blockchain demos and said, ‘I need to show 20 of my friends’.”
I don’t think people recognize that as a new empire built on military tech and steeped in behavioral psychology. Immersive reality is an open air prison / Skinner Box. If the story is good enough, they think we won’t resist it.
The proposed holistic framework aims to ignite new ideas and discussions related to the combined deployment of DLT, SSI, and metaverse to inspire new implementation areas within the Industry 4.0 environment. The paper also discusses various opportunities, enablers, technical \& privacy aspects, legislation requirements, and other barriers related to SSI implementation.
To address trust and privacy issues in IOBP, this paper presents a Blockchain-based Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) approach. The SSI concept is combined with a registry proof smart contract to provide an efficient privacy-preserving solution. The proposed approach is applied to the pharmaceutical supply chain case study and implemented on the Ethereum Blockchain
focusing on an in-depth analysis, furthermore, presenting a comprehensive collection of SSI properties that are important for the implementation of the SSI system. In addition, it explores the general SSI process flow, and highlights the steps in which individual properties are important. After the initial purification and classification phase, we then validated properties among experts in the field of Decentralized and Self-Sovereign Identity Management using an online questionnaire, which resulted in a final set of classified and verified SSI properties.
For the next five years, the European Commission has formulated an ambitious plan to define new skill sets for the Cultural and Creative Industries Sector (CCIS). This effort is based on the European Skills Agenda, which aims to help individuals and businesses to develop more, and better skill sets.
Data sovereignty has gained much recent attention, whilst interpreted in varied ways. MyData Global describes in this blog post what to make of data sovereignty when taking a human-centric approach to personal data.
Google’s Purpose is to “Organise the world's information.” How it does this is by collection and ownership of data. The Purpose is not wrong, but How is an interesting take on data ownership. Facebook's Purpose is “To connect every person in the world.” It does this by using your data to manipulate you and your network. The Purpose is not wrong, but How Facebook does it is an interesting take on control and the distribution of value?
Facebook Workplace accounts is a good example. It’s one of those pieces that I think when we look at Infinite Office, we’re targeting supporting that as one of the techniques that people can use to feel like, “Yeah, I can have my workplace Facebook account, and that’s what I’m going to use in certain contexts.”
