Whether a beginning learner, or interested in advanced concepts like Game Development, Hardware Prototyping, or Competitive Coding, you will find tools, lessons and mentors
That includes companies that are trying to prevent digital fraud, as well as companies that are engaged in identity verification and decentralized identity projects. However, the list is not exhaustive [...] Allthenticate will be the recipient of its first investment.
As the Herald reports Kate Forbes has announced £45m in funding to “transform Scotland into one of Europe’s leading economies to start or grow a technology business.”
Filecoin Explorer Awards first round of applications is due July 15th and the second round is due August 15th ($1000 - $10,000)
Drummond Reed and Alex Preukschat, co-authors of Manning Publication's new book 'Self-Sovereign Identity,' for a conversation on the book's development and recent release and what the future holds for SSI as a technology, architecture, and movement.
It is clear that both approaches strive to maintain user control of their personal data, selective disclosure/data minimization, and cryptographic methods to prove the integrity of identity claims. The differences are: first in their reliance (mDL) or independence (SSI) from issuer involvement in verification interactions, and second in their cryptographic approach, mDL relies on externally provided cryptographic tools, SSI builds on holder controlled private keys
We are glad to be among the first few along with @ValidatedID @danube @GATACA_ID @walt_id @DXCTechnology @CIMEA_Naric @identyum @ThalesDigiSec @posteitaliane
The concept of self-sovereign identity (SSI) describes an identity management system created to operate independently of third-party public or private actors, based on decentralised technological architectures, and designed to prioritise user security, privacy, individual autonomy and self-empowerment.
New paper by Kaliya presented at Identiverse for the first time - in first public review.
Feedback welcome :)
follows the ways in which identities were designed and managed in computer systems. [...] examines the evolution of paper-based identity systems that emerged in Europe. [...] explains why the underlying technological design of SSI aligns with Western liberal democratic values in a way that the earlier digital identity systems designs do not.
The non-transferability of verifiable credential is one of their super powers. This post examines how that super power can be used to reduce fraud and increase safety in a hired car platform.
The convergence of multiple rapidly maturing technologies, such as AI, IoT, and blockchain permits any connected entity — whether a person, vehicle, device, package, piece of infrastructure, or data set — to communicate and autonomously participate as an independent economic agent in transactions.
someone opened his door using Ethereum [...] this is hilarious. I can think of ten ways to open your door that are more secure. But I believe there’s more to these stories. These people are coming up with solutions that are in line with most of the core values we in the SSI space have been working on for years.
In 2017 we published Chainauth, a mechanism for anchoring verifiable credentials on Bitcoin, and in 2021 we released Civic Pass, a multi-chain token protocol, in conjunction with identity.com.[...]
Why, if we had Chainauth, based on verifiable credentials, did we release Civic Pass, a token protocol very similar to SBTs?
Indicio worked with SITA and the Aruban government to develop a decentralized identity solution for managing Covid testing and vaccination for travelers to the tourism-dependent island.
Last week, the Prime Minister of Finland, Sanna Marin, stated that she will not give consent to the media to take and publish photos of her child. This led to wide discussion and international headlines – even though the right to privacy is guaranteed under the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
In the UK and in Europe more generally there seems to be more awareness of, and a sense of urgency around, the vulnerability of mobile smartphones, given the expectation that they will be the device of choice for most people to download digital identity related wallet apps.
The Federal Trade Commission would have to maintain a public registry of data brokers and present a way for users to opt out of targeted advertisements and other data sharing practices.
Consumers could access, correct and delete their own data and companies would have to tell third parties to change user data where users request it.
If a business has had an annual revenue less than “$41 million, did not collect or process the data of more than 100,000 individuals, and did not derive more than 50% of revenue from transferring personal information” in the last three years, they are not considered a covered entity in this bill.
