You weekly guide to the latest news events and related info surrounding development and implementation of decentralized identity and verifiable credentials
Enable a bigger ecosystem of players to take advantage of mobile driving licenses by making sure the VCs are a viable alternative for implementers to the ISO 18013–5 standard, and are compatible to the fullest extent possible of the outputs of ISO working groups
Give both VC and mDL wallet vendors equal opportunity to compete and provide users with options by urging the open-up of privileged, internal APIs for all wallet vendors and developers.
Following the announcement, we hosted the first community session on September 27, answering questions about the project, understanding relevant existing efforts and gathering initial input for the project deliverables.
This DIACC white paper offers an unbiased and objective evaluation of identification networks and is based on research done by DIACC member Consult Hyperion. It was created in conjunction with DIACC through a community review process. The paper presents a high-level framework with which to comprehend and evaluate the many kinds of identity networks that now exist or are being developed, using "Mary" as an example. It also provides advice to people who are thinking about joining such a network.
• Can the way that W3C credentials are formatted get in the way of interoperability in the future? • Are there use cases where AnonCreds aren’t the right implementation? • Are AnonCreds more computing intensive than W3C credentials? • Future for AnonCreds and for Hyperledger Indy • Why Revocation remains the weak point of AnonCreds and Indy • Is mDL better suited than AnonCreds for Driver’s Licence use cases?
Decentralized Semantics is a state-of-the-art new data discipline being driven by the Foundation to enable accurate morphological, semantical, and pragmatic structuring of unstructured data. It drives the development of technologies for the DDE Semantic Layer and provides the essential framework for the Dynamic Data Economy (DDE) that we foresee (Layer 1 of the DDE Trust Infrastructure). One of the first tools we created for the Semantic Layer is the recently released OCA, an architecture for capturing the metadata necessary to analyze and preserve the meaning of inputted data.
This means that an implementer can utilize Verifiable Credentials (VCs), Open ID Connect, DIDComm, Credential Handler API, or any other transport envelope to transmit JSON Web Tokens (#JWTs), VCs, JWT-VCs, or any other JSON Claimformat.
The use of @context has been considered as being optional. As the use of @context is needed in both JSON and JSON-LD, this would be a normative modification to the present specification. This topic is to discuss if this is a good concept and the possible mechanism(s) to carry it out.
The decentralized identity infrastructure provided by Trinsic's next-generation platform is unrelated to any one particular ledger. This may come as a surprise in the realm of decentralized identification, but it's actually a significant win for product developers. We'll delve into a couple of the causes of Trinsic's ledger-less default in this piece.
we suggest a trust registry design that addresses the issue of people's confidence in their own identities. We also implement a trust registry incentive system to encourage active and truthful participation from all stakeholders.
There are several potential applications for digital product passports in sectors like transportation, forestry, mining, energy, and healthcare. This article presents several actual instances of trust registries and digital product passports
One of the cornerstones of the European strategy for data is the concept of data spaces that should become EU-wide and interoperable. To support this vision to become a reality, European Commission is setting up the Data Spaces Support Centre (DSSC) through an EU-funded multi-year project.
This blog article explains decentralized self-sovereign data, which was briefly mentioned in the IFC-hosted session on "Distributed Data Ecosystems: Heterodox Approaches to Data Portability" during the Singapore FinTech Festival on November 4, 2022. Let's start with a fundamental grasp of data's economic property. A "non rivalrous" good, that is.
A variety of subjects, case studies, and vendor presentations were covered during this one-day event. When it comes to the rise of AI+ML in authentication and IGA, Simon and David pick out the best and most intriguing aspects, while posing the question: Is identity turning into a big data issue?
The cryptographic data security qualities "Integrity" and "Authenticity" guarantee data accuracy through a digital network, link, or exchange. Unfortunately, only sometimes are both characteristics followed concurrently, which compromises security.
Our presenters in this panel discussion covered the specifics, requirements, and possible implementations for ensuring self-sovereign identification in order to enable the Internet of Things.
Verifiable Credentials are critical in blockchain and healthcare, as shown by these three BurstIQ use cases. To make their health data portable and secure, BurstIQ adopted our Verifiable Credential technology.
90% of the compromised accounts lacked "strong authentication," which stands for the absence of multi-factor authentication, according to Microsoft's Digital Defense Report 2022.
Promising to dramatically improve the trust in internet identity for all parties - people, organizations and even things can now have a trusted and provable digital identity according to Phocuswright’s latest research report on the technology Self-Sovereign Identity: Unlocking Seamless Travel.
MediLinker allows users to store their personal data on digital wallets, which they control. It uses decentralized trusted identity using Hyperledger Indy and Hyperledger Aries.
Since the education market is one of CCP’s identified markets for verifiable credentials, CCP’s short-term goal is to successfully participate in the JFF Plugfests in order to show that Identiproof is a standards conformant product that can interwork with a whole range of different verifiable credential products from different providers across the globe.
Wallet Connect complies with SSI We won the #ETHLisbon Hackathon by adding #SSI (exchange of #W3C Verifiable Credentials) to the @WalletConnect V2 protocol stack. [Demo][Slides]
What is IPLD Anyway? Mauve Signweaver - IPLD is data that is content addressed and is linked. The main detail is the IPLD model, which is an abstract specification for many types or kinds of data that can be represented as well as exchanged in the system.
Bluesky and IPLD Jay Graber - Bluesky is an AT Protocol, a new social networking foundation that allows creators freedom from platform constraints, developers the ability to build, and users control over their experience.
