Explainer

Self-sovereign identity: an ecosystem of digital identities Ergon

Even though some questions are still unanswered, self-sovereign identities will unlock enormous economic value. If you want to get some initial experience with SSI you can try the available open-source technologies. A successful proof of concept will enable companies to see the possibilities of the new technology and harness this potential more effectively.

4 Ways Gitcoin Passport Can Help DAOs Gitcoin

  • Fraud Detection

  • Provenance

  • Privacy

  • Verifiable Credentials

What did we learn from testing web3’s first Soulbound Identity protocol for 15 days? Masa Finance

The response has been overwhelming: over the past 15 days, 12,000+ Masa SBTs have been minted on testnet. The community resonated with our thesis: web3 needs an identity protocol.

Everything You Should Know About the Metaverse Right Now Anyonyome

But the first thing you should know about the metaverse, even as it’s still emerging and being defined, is that the time to act is now. The metaverse is expected to contribute USD 3 trillion to global GDP by 2013 and customers will expect immersive and interactive activities and apps from your brand

DAOs: Why Sovereign Accountable Commons Might Be Better: Fundamentals for Stronger Communities Holochain

We designed Sovereign Accountable Commons (SACs) in order to embed mutual accountability in apps and organizations without needing blockchains to secure the integrity of the space. Because all Holochain apps inherently hold the code underlying SACs, any platform built on Holochain has the ability to follow the principles which we lay out in this article.

New White Papers & Reports

Self-sovereign identity as future privacy by design solution in digital identity? International Association of Privacy Professionals (White Paper)

With ongoing research in the field and growing awareness of the potential for privacy protection of SSI solutions, the concepts of privacy by default and privacy by design are increasingly adopted for new architectures using distributed ledger technology. It will, however, need the private sector to follow a SSI market roadmap, and to implement and use the opportunities of SSI to complete this (r)evolution of digital identity

Digital Credentials and Self Sovereign Identity Workstream INTABA (report)

The objective of this workstream was to examine the technology and policy landscapes for digital credentials of INATBA-Governmental Advisory Body (GAB) members, identify the commonalities and gaps, and then develop recommendations for enabling interoperability and mutual support for digital credentials across borders.

Distributed Attestation Revocation in Self-Sovereign Identity Rowdy Chotkan, Jérémie Decouchant, Johan Pouwelse

the first fully distributed SSI revocation mechanism that does not rely on specialised trusted nodes. Our novel gossip-based propagation algorithm disseminates revocations throughout the network and provides nodes with a proof of revocation that enables offline verification of revocations. We demonstrate through simulations that our protocol adequately scales to national levels.

Fun

Fun fact Riley Hughes 

The 'indy' name was originally short for "independent identity" which was a naming candidate before "self-sovereign" was settled on

Harrison Tang on a roll with these short videos. 

  • #selfsovereignidentity, or #SSI, is the ultimate form of #decentralizedidentity because the power and control lie in tens of billions of person entities like you and me, not just hundreds of thousands of computer network nodes TheCEODad

  • In my earlier Identity in Web3 talk, I also shared that verifiablecredentials is my favorite identity tech TheCEODad

Data management

Introducing TreeLDR: A Canopy Across Your Data Schema Dreams SpruceID

TreeLDR is an open-source developer tool with a DSL that makes managing data schemas as easy as defining data structures in your favorite (sane) statically-typed language.

Our open banking platform is guided by our data responsibility principles. Mastercard

Built on Open Standards

Investing in Verifiable Credentials, Technical Interoperability and Open Source Hyperledger

As our approach evolves, we also remain keen to support open source solutions that interoperate with other national and international efforts. There is no dominant design yet, no one network or technology, so we must remain nimble and flexible in our exploration. We also need to coexist with existing identity solutions that millions of British Columbians already rely upon.

Managing Trust and Reputation via Trust Registries Continuum Loop

The concept behind a Trust Registry is that a Wallet needs to know which decentralized identifiers (DIDs) to “trust” as a source of truth. At many levels, this “trust” translates to “authority” – knowing that somebody, centralized or decentralized, is responsible for maintaining a list of trusted DIDs.

Dock DIDs Now Support Multiple Key Pairs Dock

  • Keys can be given different capabilities using Verification Relationships

  • We support 4 Verification Relationships: Authentication, Assertion, Key Agreement, and Capability Invocation.

  • DIDs can now be controlled by other DIDs

  • DIDs can now have service endpoints

  • Dock now supports off-chain DID Documents

ONDC: An Open Network for Ecommerce Phil Windley

Open Network for Digital Commerce is a non-profit established by the Indian government to develop open ecommerce. The goal is to end platform monopolies in ecommerce using an open protocol called Beckn. I'd never heard of Beckn before. From the reaction on the VRM mailing list, not many there had either.
