This paper introduces a software architecture and implementation of a system based on design patterns from the field of self-sovereign identity. Scientists can issue signed credentials attesting to qualities of their data resources. Data contributions to ML models are recorded in a bill of materials (BOM), which is stored with the model as a verifiable credential. The BOM provides a traceable record of the supply chain for an AI system, which facilitates on-going scrutiny of the qualities of the contributing components. The verified BOM, and its linkage to certified data qualities, is used in the AI Scrutineer, a web-based tool designed to offer practitioners insight into ML model constituents and highlight any problems with adopted datasets, should they be found to have biased data or be otherwise discredited.

You can probably use the good news. Its never been easy to run a credit union, especially when you get whacked from all sides. Regulations change, members always seem to want access to another shiny new technology gadget, and financial fraud continues to be a threat. On top of that, weve all had to grapple with the pervasive life-changing effects of the coronavirus pandemic for the past year.

And if I can own that, I have a lot more interest in it. And I can use it in a lot more interesting ways. In the past, that might have just been something that I built as reputation within a company, I can now make that a more dynamic and portable reputation I can take with me anywhere.

* [Are we doing enough to align our work with Zero Trust Architecture?](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-did-wg/2021Jan/0000.html) Adrian Gropper on Public DID-WG mailing list
> [https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/02/us/politics/russian-hacking-government.html](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/02/us/politics/russian-hacking-government.html) 2021-01-02
> What would be a good way for our SSI communities to advance zero trust architecture through more effective accountability and audit?
* [Manu responds](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-did-wg/2021Jan/0003.html)
> Could DIDs and VCs help with systems architected with Zero Trust in mind? Yeah, probably:
>
> 1) You could use VCs to prove that you should have certain levels of access to certain systems. Checking this could happen automatically, but while ensuring that you're "live" and not some bot.
> 2) Logs could be kept of which VCs were used when to receive the authority to do something.
> 3) ZCAPs could be used to provide fine-grained access to very specific resources, even behind the firewall, within an organizations systems.
> DIDs could power much of this... but shouldn't promise any of it. The closest we could probably get to what you're asking, Adrian, is to align the Zero Trust Architecture principles to how DIDs and VCs can help -- primarily around: identity verification (VCs), login authentication (DIDs), least-privilege access (ZCAPs, Confidential Storage), and HTTP API access authorization (ZCAPs).
* [More from Adrian](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-did-wg/2021Jan/0004.html)
> The most important message from the SolarWinds hack and much of the ransomware havoc is that our systems are not set up for individual accountability or independent audit.
>
> The VC and ZCAPs perspective is inadequate. As an SSI community we need to address the separation of concerns between authentication, authorization, and audit as equally important and needing a harmonized best-practice perspective. Standardized EDVs are table stakes but not terribly relevant to the protocols that link authentication, authorization, and audit. Confidential Storage should be adopting the protocols that connect authentication, authorization, and audit rather than introducing protocols narrowly scoped to the narrow and obvious role of encryption at rest.
>
> I've put together a few slides in an attempt to clarify the relationship between non-repudiable accountability and audits (and EDVs).

- Identity is at the heart
- Disconnect between the data desired and the data entered
- Confusing fields, more confusing mapping
- Mismatched data
- Stick to 99% of a standard
School has changed:
- Used to be:
- District organized by physical location
- Revenue systems based on seat time
- School buildings
- Classrooms divided into grades
- Teachers as sage on the stage
- COVID:
- Some kids still out of school
- Playlists, virtual classrooms, hybrid
- Access to food. Access to internet. Access to a device.
- Teachers maxed to the limit
- FUTURE:
- Learning Loss?!?
- Social Emotional Learning?!?
- 1/3 of students expected not to return
- Virtual models abound
- Teacher mobility and agency
- Chaos versus Opportunity?
Questions for discussion:
- Identity technical solutions are easy. The data clean up and alignment is the first problem to solve.
- How can self attestation be trustworthy?
- What are the responsibilities of a proxy issuer?
- How far can we move people's cheese before they rebel?

* [Are we doing enough to align our work with Zero Trust Architecture?](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-did-wg/2021Jan/0000.html) Adrian Gropper on Public DID-WG mailing list
> [https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/02/us/politics/russian-hacking-government.html](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/02/us/politics/russian-hacking-government.html) 2021-01-02
> What would be a good way for our SSI communities to advance zero trust architecture through more effective accountability and audit?
* [Manu responds](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-did-wg/2021Jan/0003.html)
> Could DIDs and VCs help with systems architected with Zero Trust in mind? Yeah, probably:
>
> 1) You could use VCs to prove that you should have certain levels of access to certain systems. Checking this could happen automatically, but while ensuring that you're "live" and not some bot.
> 2) Logs could be kept of which VCs were used when to receive the authority to do something.
> 3) ZCAPs could be used to provide fine-grained access to very specific resources, even behind the firewall, within an organizations systems.
> DIDs could power much of this... but shouldn't promise any of it. The closest we could probably get to what you're asking, Adrian, is to align the Zero Trust Architecture principles to how DIDs and VCs can help -- primarily around: identity verification (VCs), login authentication (DIDs), least-privilege access (ZCAPs, Confidential Storage), and HTTP API access authorization (ZCAPs).
* [More from Adrian](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-did-wg/2021Jan/0004.html)
> The most important message from the SolarWinds hack and much of the ransomware havoc is that our systems are not set up for individual accountability or independent audit.
>
> The VC and ZCAPs perspective is inadequate. As an SSI community we need to address the separation of concerns between authentication, authorization, and audit as equally important and needing a harmonized best-practice perspective. Standardized EDVs are table stakes but not terribly relevant to the protocols that link authentication, authorization, and audit. Confidential Storage should be adopting the protocols that connect authentication, authorization, and audit rather than introducing protocols narrowly scoped to the narrow and obvious role of encryption at rest.
>
> I've put together a few slides in an attempt to clarify the relationship between non-repudiable accountability and audits (and EDVs).

* [Adrian follows up with some explanation of the slides](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-did-wg/2021Jan/0005.html)
> Considering risk mitigation, based on SSI principles, there are four separate actors:
> 1. Resource Owner (RO) their user agent (mobile wallet), and cloud agent (AS)
> 2. Service Provider (SP), by definition has data in the clear
> 3. Requesting Party (RQ) and their user agent (mobile wallet)
> 4. Requesting Client (RC), by definition has data in the clear
