Identosphere 170: Path to Semantic Interop • Taxonomy of SSI Challenges • DIF Hackathon Winners • did:pkh (for any crypto)
We curate the latest in decentralized identity, with upcoming events, use-cases and developments in open standards and the public sector. Your Support would be Dearly Appreciated.
In order to participate in the OIDF GAIN Proof of Concept, the issuer has to support multiple versions of the specification drafts. The objective of it is to prove the interoperability of the implementation following a specific profile (set of specification choices). Also, the implementation of the EBSI model is a short-term goal to participate in the European SSI initiatives.
The collaborative effort expands to include cheqd, providing the essential infrastructure for credential issuance, verification, suspension, and revocation. With this robust partnership, the trio seeks to scale the application and empower financial services of all kinds to expedite client onboarding, while preserving portability and privacy controls for clients.
Dive into the 7 pivotal Self Sovereign Identity academic papers revolutionizing digital identity! [...] We extend our deepest appreciation to the scholarly masterminds in SSI. Your research has laid the groundwork for tomorrow's identity solutions. Did we miss anyone? Let us know
This article presents a systematic literature review of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), a relatively new domain that has seen multiple industry-led efforts to establish standards, protocols, and systems. The review offers a detailed taxonomy and analyzes the challenges facing the SSI domain, emphasizing the need to address these issues for widespread adoption.
In this final part, we have sketched out a series of strategic opportunities to develop use cases and pathways for decentralized civic infrastructure. These pathways are still based on the key components of Digital Public Infrastructure: identity, payment, and data exchange, but they explore these components in a broader civic sense, including cultural, media, non-monetary and customary relations.
"Data semantics" refers to the interpretation and meaning of data, and "semantic interoperability" is the ability of computer systems to exchange data with unambiguous, shared meaning. Semantic interoperability is a common requirement to enable machine computable logic, inferencing, knowledge discovery, and data federation between information systems.
did:pkh is the minimalist multi-blockchain DID method, designed to work with any blockchain with minimal fuss. Today we talk with two of the authors–and implementers–of did:pkh, Wayne Chang and Joel Thorstensson.
As Web3, the new version of the internet based on blockchain infrastructure, keeps growing, the adoption of Decentralized Identity (DID) and Verifiable Credentials is becoming more and more critical. Indeed, these tools are fully aligned with the decentralization ethos of the blockchain / Web3 ecosystem and can help users drastically improve their privacy and data ownership, while helping Web3 projects and dApps remain compliant.
The US government is moving to regulate deep fakes, and some commercial operations have introduced deep fake detection technology, so there are solutions on the horizon. But a solution we see enormous potential in is Web3 and decentralized identity technology, grounded in blockchain.
With an estimated 4 billion people around the world heading to the polls in over 50 elections this year, there’s an urgent need to ensure clarity about the origins and history of the visual stories and media we experience online. And there’s momentum for C2PA adoption across industries and disciplines.
Notable projects addressed trust frameworks for the home buying process, friction reduction in the automotive industry, and innovative solutions for handling NFT ownership at events. The DIF Main Prize Pool winners included Decentralinked, Anonymous Door Unlocking, HealthX Protocol, TrustBox, and Mail5. The hackathon proved instrumental in fostering skills, community ties, and advancements in decentralized identity technology.
We have developed an interactive protocol which allows a group of parties to do mathematical calculations on private data.
For example, the data could be keyshares by isolated computing nodes trying to calculate the signature for a transaction. The requirement is to produce a valid signature from a predetermined proportion of the nodes in the network, known as t out of n secret sharing.
The integration of generative AI, the impact of NDC on air travel, the future of hotel bookings, and the role of digital identity in transforming the travel experience. Mitra envisions a future where a personal assistant device seamlessly manages all aspects of travel, from booking flights to hotel check-ins, using digital identity for a more efficient and personalized experience.
Throughout 2023, the SIA sustained its collaborative efforts with governments, multilateral entities, and industry partners, advocating and putting into practice our vision.
moving the dial on digital trust in 2024 will take more than ‘a coalition of the willing’ while the majority sit back. It will take a concerted, orchestrated effort from the coalition of five million. No person or entity is immune to the potential threats and no-one should be limited in taking the opportunities digitalisation brings.
It’s only a matter of time before generative AI renders current methods of identity verification for financial transactions useless. In this article we take a look at how verifiable credentials can offer a secure way to be confident in online interactions in the age of artificial intelligence.
This video provides a comprehensive look at the evolving concept of trust in the digital world, highlighting the need for a systemic approach to embed trust in the internet's infrastructure. The conversation is particularly relevant for those interested in internet governance, digital identity, and the future of online interactions.
Sponsored by CIRA, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority, the report is the culmination of a 6-month community of practice initiative that saw 26 organizations working together from across the public and private sectors.
Section 2 of the report establishes a foundational understanding of data sharing in humanitarian Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA), covering key elements and introducing technical tools. Section 3 delves into the core of the report, analyzing potential risks, harms, and challenges in the CVA data environment, offering crucial insights for practitioners working with data in humanitarian contexts.
this is what I want to talk to you about, is the microledger notion. In this notion you still have a blockchain, but it’s not the main mediator of the relationship between Alice and Bob.
Indicio VP of Communications and Governance Trevor Butterworth joins the show for an explanation of what decentralized identity governance is and how its useful for organizations that want to implement decentralized identity.
Digital identity solutions are central to our modern lives, facilitating everything from accessing healthcare records to participating in online communities. However, these advantages are only fully realized when these systems are accessible to everyone, regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities, including accounting for aging populations.
Now that we’ve hit peak subscription, and paywalls are showing up in front of formerly free digital goods (requiring, of course, more subscriptions), perhaps the world is ready for EmanciPay, an idea that has been biding its time on our wiki since 2009.
criminals lure the kids to Snap, where they coerce the kid to send an explicit photo. Boom. Now, the relentless blackmail starts. “I have your nudes and everything needed to ruin your life… unless you send me $300 right now.”
