Identosphere 195: DIF DWN Node • Creator Assertions Working Group • CA DMV Preso with Director • New Reports
Upcoming events; companies, organizations, research, development, standards news, and deep thoughts on everything related to decentralized identity and verifiable credentials
ETSI and CEN and CENELEC are working together to develop several standards to support the European Digital Identity Framework with digital identity wallets and several new trust services defined in EU Regulation 2024/1183 ETSI Website - Workshop Agenda
The Managed DWN service or “community node” will allow existing and new Google Cloud customers to more easily build test applications using DWNs. Rather than having to run their own DWN or server infrastructure to store data, developers will be able to leverage a DWN on Google Cloud to build test applications.
This paper explores different trust network architectures, comparing risks, benefits, and tradeoffs. It highlights the advantages of the Credential Trust Establishment Specification, offering practical recommendations for developing and managing of trust networks.
However, up until recently, most stakeholders used their own internal tools and proprietary identifiers for tracing investigational products and their locations, as well as for data interchange in clinical trials. As a result, participants had to configure their IT systems to adapt to each solution implemented by each specific Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) manufacturer.
We discussed interesting opportunities of deploying #meronymity to existing standards. Had a great time and looking forward to meeting everybody in person at some point! https://t.co/bo9xboI4nN
You want to engage with people strategically so that you can work sustainably and your communications are aligned with your current initiatives and goals. We use several tools to help us figure out the best way to engage with a specific audience or community. We’ve written often about the Architecture of Participation, our go-to framework for creating participatory communities.
Decentralized Identity can augment many existing services. For example, DI capabilities can be used to encrypt my files before they are sent to a cloud storage provider. The cloud storage provider can then work their storage, retrieval, and replication magic without having access to the unencrypted files. As long as I control the encryption keys, my data can only be decrypted by me.
Creator Assertions Working Group has 7 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub. The creator-assertions mission is to create and promote creator-oriented extensions to the core C2PA digital provenance specification. Each repository contained herein is a is a distinct CSL project with an open contribution model.
4/9: #EBSI: #IOTA is a key service provider in the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure, developing solutions like 'Track & Trace' for traceability and 'Verifiable Credentials' for verification. (Pages 11-12) @EU_EBSI
The report from INATBA highlights major public infrastructure projects such as the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) and the EU Blockchain Observatory & Forum (EUBOF). It also emphasizes their crucial role in upgrading Europe’s digital infrastructure. As reported by CNF last month, IOTA was also one of the finalists for the EU’s EBSI project.
The report delves into public infrastructure initiatives such as the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) and the EU Blockchain Observatory & Forum (EUBOF), highlighting their pivotal roles in shaping Europe’s digital future.
A Focus on the Trust Triangle for Digital Identity In a previous article, Functional Analysis for Implementing Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) in Your Business, we discussed how decentralized identity is transforming digital identity management. It offers users complete control over their personal data and emphasizes the importance of a detailed functional analysis for successful implementation. In
In light of the recent significant seizure of counterfeit olive oil by Italian authorities, the need for robust traceability and authenticity in the olive oil industry has never been more critical. The post Protecting Olive Oil Authenticity with UNISOT appeared first on UNISOT.
Because the technology frees airlines and airports from having to store and manage huge amounts of passenger personal data, it also makes compliance with emerging data protection and privacy policies like eIDAS, GDPR, CCPA, vastly simpler: companies don’t have to hold people’s personal data for verification. There is a genuine mechanism for people to consent to share their data.
In Europe, the Digital Identity Regulation went into effect in May, requiring every member state to offer at least one version of the EU Digital Identity Wallet by 2026. In the U.S., the DHS recently awarded funding to six startups to develop digital credentials. Efforts such as these are raising awareness of and interest in the use of digital identity for travel, but they are just one part of the equation – the “issuance” piece. What is also needed is “acceptance” – by travel suppliers and intermediaries.
We are excited to announce our new EU project, Electronic Components and Systems for Flexible, Coordinated, and Resilient Distributed Renewable Energy Systems (ECS4DRES). This groundbreaking initiative is co-funded by Horizon Europe and the Federal Government.
how working with SpruceID has allowed California to be more flexible and agile when it comes to expanding the use cases where citizens can leverage their Mobile Driver’s License.
Not surprising if you understand that digital wallet is a natural extension of the web browser which will allow seamless, privacy protected and trusted services.
The Dock Certs APIs can be integrated with existing systems, allowing organizations to incorporate “biometric-bound” verifiable credentials and digital identity management. According to Dock, the integration requires one API call to create verifiable, fraud-proof data, without requiring extensive knowledge of blockchain or cryptography.
See a demonstration of how Verifiable Credentials and Amazon Verified Permissions can streamline large data sharing, simplify access to healthcare information, remove the need for complex system integrations, and more!
When I first met the Beyond Identity executive team, I thought I was talking to a bunch of engineers. It wasn’t until we got into the meeting room and everyone shared their titles that I realized that at Beyond Identity, the executives are the engineers. This is critical. If we’re going to build the next generation of identity products, we need people at the helm who get the tradeoffs and deeply understand the mistakes the industry has made in the past.
“Information also wants to be expensive. Information Wants To Be Free. ...That tension will not go away.” Stewart Brand . There is tension since data storage is a competitive market but data retrieval can only be done by the service that has your data. At 3Box Labs, we want to catalyze a data ecosystem by making community driven data distribution not only possible but available out of the box.
As an authentication method for MFA, the company considered one-time password authentication (OTP) and biometric authentication using smartphone applications, but ultimately decided to deploy passwordless authentication using FIDO for its unique ability to improve both security and user convenience.
This report investigates LiveRamp’s identity surveillance technology and data practices that rely on it with a focus on Europe, France and the UK. It builds on previous research and is largely based on a detailed analysis of software documentation available online. To a smaller extent, it relies on an analysis of promotional materials and legal documents such as privacy policies.
Note to all who follow my Twitter account... I'm deeply sorry to report that -- as many of you have will have noticed from messages that appeared on the account over the last few days -- my personal Twitter account was recently hacked. I've now regained control. Show more
in part because the check "used to mean trustworthy sources of information," and the new system "negatively affects users' ability to make free and informed decisions about the authenticity of the accounts and the content they interact with.
