For example, while the Long Range (LoRa) communication, often used in IoT systems, only allows payloads of up to 240 bytes, a single DID Document typically occupies 500 bytes or more. Similarly, messages using DIDComm tend to use at least 1 kilobyte, which prevents its use on constrained networks.

Our main contribution is to enable native use of Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and DID-based secure communication on constrained networks, whereas previous works either did not consider the issue or relied on proxy-based architectures. We propose a new extension to DIDs along with a more concise serialization method for DID metadata. Moreover, in order to reduce the security overhead over transmitted messages, we adopted a binary message envelope. We implemented these proposals within the context of Swarm Computing, an approach for decentralized IoT. Results showed that our proposal reduces the size of identity metadata in almost four times and security overhead up to five times.

Although production-ready solutions remain in the developmental stage, business executives, professionals, and students need to start learning about what’s ahead. Business practitioners want to know what is unique about SSI. Is there anything idiosyncratic about managing an SSI project compared to other digital projects? How can we apply SSI to deliver business value? We help to answer those questions by explaining SSI through a case study at UK National Health Service (NHS). NHS developed a digital staff passport to verify health professionals’ qualifications and credentials so that healthcare staff could be moved around quickly during COVID-19. While SSI provides some unique capabilities, it does not require unique project management practices.

However, currently most identity management solutions are under central governance. Examples can be found in most social media platforms such as Facebook and Google accounts. Additionally, this extends to real world examples, such as a passport or a driver’s license provided by government. Although these solutions seem to work in practice, there is an essential issue. Namely, the owner of the identity is not in control of his/her identity. For example, a social media platform may decide to remove an account based on its own policy, leaving the identity owner with a virtual gap in its existence. Additionally, identifiers (such as a passport) provide a lot of -arguably too much- information about the identity holder, even though only a single attribute (e.g. the date of birth) needs to be known. Indeed, identity owners are no longer in control of their identity when using centralized identity management solutions * [A Conceptual Analysis on Sovrin](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/323144927_A_Conceptual_Analysis_on_Sovrin) 2018-01 Rieks Joosten, TNO diff --git a/unsorted/educational-resources/data-governance.md b/unsorted/educational-resources/data-governance.md index 8502b143..401c0109 100644 --- a/unsorted/educational-resources/data-governance.md +++ b/unsorted/educational-resources/data-governance.md @@ -5,6 +5,11 @@ published: false > Katryna talks to Oscar about her career (including inspiration from Minority Report), Meeco’s personal data & distributed ledger platform, the importance of data minimisation to inspire trust in organisations, and cultural differences in attitudes towards digital identity. * [Why Location Data Brokers Put All Communities At Risk](https://me2ba.org/why-location-data-brokers-put-all-communities-at-risk/) Zach Edwards M2BA > New work that may leverage decentralized ID from the supply chain side of things…but not sure (lots of links inside on data brokers harm) +* [INNOPAY paper on data sharing published in CEUR Workshop Proceedings](https://www.innopay.com/en/news/innopay-paper-data-sharing-published-ceur-workshop-proceedings) Innopay + > This week, CEUR-WS.org has published the paper titled ‘[Harmonization Profiles for Trusted Data Sharing Between Data Spaces: Striking the Balance between Functionality and Complexity](http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-3214/WS6Paper2.pdf)’ in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings. + + +* [UNDP LEGAL IDENTITY AGENDA ONLINE FORUM: PRIVATE SECTOR ENGAGEMENT ROUNDTABLES: DATA PROTECTION AND PRIVACY](https://unstats.un.org/LEGAL-IDENTITY-AGENDA/MEETINGS/2021/UNLIA-FUTURETECH/DOCS/REPORT2.PDF) # Data Governance * [Radical Exchange Talk: Data Agency.

To provide identity within the context of mutual distrust, this paper presents a blockchain-based digital identity solution. Without depending upon a single trusted third party, the proposed solution achieves passport-level legally valid identity. This solution for making identities Self-Sovereign, builds on a generic provable claim model for which attestations of truth from third parties need to be collected. The claim model is then shown to be both blockchain structure and proof method agnostic. Four different implementations in support of these two claim model properties are shown to offer sub-second performance for claim creation and claim verification.

This does not only strengthen the position of the users but implies new interaction schemes that may improve interoperability and usability. Smart services systems enable the integration of resources and activities and use smart products as boundary objects. As such systems typically involve digital interactions between multiple actors, it can be assumed that utilising SSI has a positive impact on them. To investigate how these potential improvements manifest themselves, we investigate electric vehicle charging as example of a smart service system. At the core of our conceptual analysis is the service process, which we extract from a reference model. Based on a SWOT analysis, we identify areas for transformation and derive an SSI-enabled interaction model for an electric vehicle charging service. The evaluation of the new process shows that SSI can reduce complexity of integration with partners and can provide a better customer experience through simplified registration and authentication. Moreover, SSI might even lead to the disintermediation of actors in the service system. Although SSI is still emerging, our findings underline its relevance as a mechanism to establish trust in smart service systems through the seamless and standardised integration of digital identities for humans, organisations, and things. - -* [Encoding Trust that Travels with Data — A New Product Introduction Case Study Powered by Solutions Design with Transmute](https://medium.com/transmute-techtalk/encoding-trust-that-travels-with-data-a-new-product-introduction-case-study-powered-by-solutions-a4be7e80bfdf) - -underpinned by GS1 as a root of trust in the network — continuing a rich history for GS1 in this role.

Many standards-making bodies, open-source working groups, and organizations have been working on SSI and verifiable credentials for years. Although production-ready solutions remain in the developmental stage, business executives, professionals, and students need to start learning about what’s ahead. Business practitioners want to know what is unique about SSI. Is there anything idiosyncratic about managing an SSI project compared to other digital projects? How can we apply SSI to deliver business value? We help to answer those questions by explaining SSI through a case study at UK National Health Service (NHS). NHS developed a digital staff passport to verify health professionals’ qualifications and credentials so that healthcare staff could be moved around quickly during COVID-19. While SSI provides some unique capabilities, it does not require unique project management practices. Like all digital projects, the aim was to build capabilities and design for interoperability to avoid vendor lock-in. Building on its early success, NHS intends to expand the application to enable its strategic people plan. - -* [Building a Credential Exchange Infrastructure for Digital Identity: A Sociohistorical Perspective and Policy Guidelines](https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fbloc.2021.629790/full) Mawaki Chango - -Credential Exchange Infrastructures based on open standards are emerging with work ongoing across many different jurisdictions, in several global standards bodies and industry associations, as well as at a national level.

In addition, the digital identities (static strings or updatable chains) in the existing SSI schemes are as inputs to a third-party executable program (mobile app, smart contract, etc.) to achieve identity reading, storing and proving, and users’ self-sovereignty are weakened. To solve the above problems, we present a new self-sovereign identity scheme to strike a balance between privacy and accountability - -* [Cryptography Review of W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model and DIDs Standards and Cryptography Implementation Recommendations](http://www.csl.sri.com/papers/vcdm-did-crypto-recs/crypto-review-and-recs-for-VCDM-and-DIDs-implems-FINAL-20211015.pdf) SRI International - -SRI focused primarily on the cryptographic algorithms being used in the W3C standards and not on blockchain and DLT technologies or their use in operational systems.
