* [Investing in Verifiable Credentials, Technical Interoperability and Open Source](https://www.hyperledger.org/blog/2022/08/23/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.

* [IDunion](https://idunion.org/?lang%3Den) enables self-determined identities based on Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) technologies Hyperledger Indy and Hyperledger Aries. The aim of the IDunion organisation is to create an open ecosystem for decentralised identity management, which can be used  worldwide and is based on European values and regulations. IDunion is also a [project](https://www.digitale-technologien.de/DT/Redaktion/DE/Standardartikel/SchaufensterSichereDigIdentProjekte/Schaufensterprojekte/sdi-projekt_idunion.html) co-funded by the [German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs (BMWi)](https://www.bmwi.de/Navigation/EN/Home/home.html) as part of the [Showcases Secure Digital Identities program](https://www.digitale-technologien.de/DT/Navigation/DE/ProgrammeProjekte/AktuelleTechnologieprogramme/Sichere_Digitale_Identitaeten/sichere_digitale_ident.html). We gave an introduction covering
- The IDunion consortium consists of 37 partners - other major partners have already signaled interest in participating
- Our solution is enabled by the distributed ledger technology (DLT) and the concept of self-sovereign identities (SSI)
- Instead of a central authority, trust is organized via a DLT network, which works as a decentralized PKI system
- In recent months, in addition to intensive research, we have developed a DLT test network including governance structure, 35+ use cases and numerous software components for the allocation, verification and management of digital identity data developed
- In the future, the identity network will be managed by a European cooperative in which every institution in the EU can participate
- In total, we are working on 35 use cases in the areas of eGovernment, education, finance, industry/IOT, eCommerce/mobility, IAM, and eHealth

Practical session, what we are actually building today using the hyper ledger Aries tools
Some interesting points
- Viewing organizations as Issuers, Verifiers and Holders
- Talked about the complexity of defining a verifiable credential, I.e. what are you attesting to?
- Went over the need to make it easier for users to be able to create credential schemas and credential definitions without having to gain understanding about the tech.
- Question was asked about where do we start, do we have to bootstrap the first credential? And we went over being able to start with existing governance structures, and the trust that is already accepted there to issue the first credentials.
- I gave a demo of our prototype that shows three actors (Mine, Bank, Verifier) doing a credential exchange flow between them

- We pulled the validator algorithms from the open-source project, [Hyperledger Indy](https://www.hyperledger.org/use/hyperledger-indy).
- A supporting machine operates the command line interface used to perform steward operations onthe ledger.
- We used security groups at the network interface level to create a firewall.
- We set up monitoring in AWS CloudWatch using a variety of bash scripting in conjunction with Ubuntu and AWS provided utilities.
- We created a regular maintenance schedule.

To manage patient’s self-sovereign identity, we leveraged the Hyperledger Indy blockchain framework to store patient’s decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and the schemas or format for each credential type. In contrast, the credentials containing patient data are stored “off-ledger” in each person’s wallet and accessible via a computer or smartphone. We used Hyperledger Aries as a middleware layer (API) to connect Hyperledger Indy with the front-end, which was developed using a JavaScript framework, ReactJS (Web Application) and React Native (iOS Application).

* [Our Approach to Resources on-ledger](https://blog.cheqd.io/our-approach-to-resources-on-ledger-25bf5690c975): Using the capabilities of the DID Core specification for standards-compliant resource lookup
Decentralised Identifiers (DIDs): are often stored on ledgers (e.g., [cheqd](https://github.com/cheqd/node-docs/blob/adr-008-resources-updates/architecture/adr-list/adr-002-cheqd-did-method.md), [Hyperledger Indy](https://hyperledger.github.io/indy-did-method/), distributed storage (e.g., [IPFS](https://ipfs.io/) in [Sidetree](https://identity.foundation/sidetree/spec/)), or non-ledger distributed systems (e.g., [KERI](https://keri.one/)). Yet, DIDs can be stored on traditional centralised-storage endpoints (e.g., [did:web](https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-method-web/), [did:git](https://github-did.com/)).

We also need to coexist with existing identity solutions that millions of British Columbians already rely upon.

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.

- Went over the need to make it easier for users to be able to create credential schemas and credential definitions without having to gain understanding about the tech.
- Question was asked about where do we start, do we have to bootstrap the first credential? And we went over being able to start with existing governance structures, and the trust that is already accepted there to issue the first credentials.
- I gave a demo of our prototype that shows three actors (Mine, Bank, Verifier) doing a credential exchange flow between them

To manage patient’s self-sovereign identity, we leveraged the Hyperledger Indy blockchain framework to store patient’s decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and the schemas or format for each credential type. In contrast, the credentials containing patient data are stored “off-ledger” in each person’s wallet and accessible via a computer or smartphone. We used Hyperledger Aries as a middleware layer (API) to connect Hyperledger Indy with the front-end, which was developed using a JavaScript framework, ReactJS (Web Application) and React Native (iOS Application).

A data NFT represents the copyright (or exclusive license against copyright) for a data asset on the blockchain — we call this the “base IP”. When a user publishes a dataset in OceanOnda V4, they create a new NFT as part of the process. This data NFT is proof of your claim of base IP. Assuming a valid claim, you are entitled to the revenue from that asset, just like a title deed gives you the right to receive rent.

For example, while NFTs require blockchains, SSI can be used with or without them which is particularly important in the context of compliance and privacy.
