Identosphere 133: Beyond Client/Server • DIDs on Metamask • SSI Market Share • Decentralized Social Networking Protocol
Thanks for reading our weekly digest: news, policy, events, jobs, and the proliferation sovereign identification systems, and verifiable credentials. We are appreciate your support! (Paypal\Patreon)
The purpose of this podcast episode isn’t to sway people against using client-server architecture for digital identity implementations. Rather, we aim to have a discussion around the trade-offs we make when making these architectural decisions.
This document discusses centralization in Internet protocols and relates it to consolidation of power, explains why both are undesirable, identifies forces that contribute to them, catalogues limitations of common approaches to decentralization, and explores what Internet standards efforts can do.
This specification defines how Verifiable Credentials can be represented as JSON Web Tokens (JWT) [RFC7519] and secured using JSON Web Signatures (JWS) [RFC7515].
• No internal user management, this would be handled by the corporate identity management system and plugged in through a service layer • Pluggable authentication, so we could adapt it to whatever the corporate system and our customer environments had in place already
IPVM, or the InterPlanetary Virtual Machine, is Fission's effort to bring computation to IPFS using Wasm, SPKI, and object capabilities. Furthermore, IPVM liberates computation from its dependence on prenegotiated services and paves the way for interoperability.
security requirements for mobile, native wallet architecture for self-sovereign users and evaluate the existing security solution building blocks for hardware-bound key storage, biometrics and features of Android and iOS operating systems. The regulatory requirements are addressed through …
The proposed legislations, the Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) (ESPR)2 and the "new Battery Regulation"3 provide the opportunity to drive this change by mandating the use of a digital product passport (DPP).
happy to be here and was invited by by the University of Zurich because of the project we did with them when it comes to student self-centered identities and master diplomas as verifiable credentials
Dom from Walt.ID joined the Podcast to explain to us what Walt.ID is all about, and how they are working towards the adoption of digital identity. Working with several companies, partner of IOTA Foundation and also involved with governments.
• The global identity solutions market was estimated to be worth $27.9 USD billion in 2022 and is expected to grow to 70.7 billion in 2027, which is a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 20.4%. • Data by Gartner shows that 30% of all national governments will enable Digital Identity Wallets for mobile phones by 2024. • In one study, 90% of global consumers said they would be willing to use a single digital identity service instead of providing their personal details to every site they use.
Content Authenticity Initiative presented a panel to discuss how transparency tools and context meets the challenges and opportunities in generative technologies.
Therefore, digital sovereignty = Sovereign State + Self-sovereign identity. One cannot be missing. This is the direction I have been researching recently. (5/5)
The public sector forms outlined here are generalizations for the purpose of framing a discussion around the design, implementation and adoption of digital wallets and the digital identifiers and credentials stored there-in [...] • Central authority, strong decentralized authority with wary support of population • Centralized authority, strong decentralized authority with support of population • Strong centralized authority with support of population • Authoritarian
• Authentic conversations -- from the head, the heart, and the gut • A feeling of ownership. Participants become evangelists • A spirit of group creativity, experimentation, exploration, good will.
Users need to be able to express their identity without accidentally making sensitive information permanently public [and] without carrying every mistake into an interaction. The decentralized identity ecosystem also [...] needs guarantees that [an] applicant isn’t hiding negative reputation claims.
Specifically, Identity Snap extends MetaMask's features by adding support for Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs). This plugin can be seamlessly installed as a JavaScript npm package
Frequency, the first implementation of The Decentralized Social Network Protocol (DSNP) [...] is probably best known as the protocol underpinning real estate billionaire Frank McCourt’s Project Liberty. ... Rather than charging transaction fees to send messages, Frequency uses a token staking model that earns “capacity”
One core difference between the fediverse and the AT Protocol seems to be that AT decouples many key building blocks – identity, moderation, ranking algorithms, even your own data to some degree – from your server. The fediverse, on the other hand, ties them all to your server and sees that as a desirable feature.
