The world is set up in a way where everyone continually needs to prove aspects of themselves. Organisations need personal information about their customers to verify their identity to give them access to services. Institutions like colleges, governments and banks need to verify information to assist people in their day to day life. To do this in the digital world people currently fill out countless forms, create accounts for every service and send copies of sensitive documents over email. This has resulted in people's information being scattered around the web, given to and stored by countless organisations, with no easy way to control and manage it.

Animo is working to change this. Through a relatively new technology called verifiable credentials, it is possible for users to store personal information about themselves in a digital wallet on their phone. Organisations that need to verify some information about the user (e.g. age, address, membership, qualification, etc.) can send a request and, with user permission, get the information they need without having to store any personal data themselves. The user proves aspects of their digital identity while keeping control over any personal information.","Our aim We build digital infrastructure that makes the world function as it should. Without borders, without vendor lock-in, without limitations. We work for a future where every individual is in control of their life. What we do At Animo we work with developers and organizations to improve digital interaction using verifiable credentials. We create solutions where exchanging data is privacy preserving and frictionless. SEE HOW IT WORKS Who we are Our team works hard to solve the most difficult problems without taking shortcuts. At Animo we understand the value in using open source and open standards to get the job done, working together makes innovation easy.

We provide scalable mobile and desktop solutions that empower users to protect their private information. The challenge In today’s world millions of consumers manage much of their lives online, requiring personally identifiable information at every turn. Consumers need access to these online conveniences while also protecting their personal information.

In today’s world, accurate and individually-owned data is more important than ever. Our ability to navigate through society depends heavily on being able to accurately capture and prove various pieces of information that represent who we are and our accomplishments.

These pieces of information can be anything from a passport proving our identity and citizenship, a graduation diploma proving our education, or a vocational license proving our ability to work in a designated field. Digital credentials are virtual representations of these important pieces of data which are essential in our lives and careers, but there are many problems with how this data is captured, shared, and controlled.

Dock is open and permissionless across our technology, network and governance. By enabling any organization or developer to issue via Dock, we can work together across markets and industries to unlock a better future world powered by secure, individually-owned verifiable credentials.","There is a problem in the digital economy. Paper and PDFs are easy to fake. Verifying the authenticity of a document or certificate is slow and manual. And if you don't verify them, you risk fraud. That's why world-class organisations use Verifiable Credentials to verify documents instantly. Verifiable Credentials are documents that contain a crypto signature: a permanent stamp that allows anyone to confirm you issued that credential.

For example, members of DIF are focused on the establishment of an open web platform standard within the W3C standards organization called Decentralized Identifier (DID). A DID will provide a standard global resource naming scheme for identity.

There is a global Internet standard for naming resources called a uniform resource identifier or URI. When you type https://www.ibm.com into your browser, a URI ensures you always end up at IBM’s website. Similarly, we need one standard to identify an individual, as well.

The world is set up in a way where everyone continually needs to prove aspects of themselves. Organisations need personal information about their customers to verify their identity to give them access to services. Institutions like colleges, governments and banks need to verify information to assist people in their day to day life. To do this in the digital world people currently fill out countless forms, create accounts for every service and send copies of sensitive documents over email. This has resulted in people's information being scattered around the web, given to and stored by countless organisations, with no easy way to control and manage it.

Animo is working to change this. Through a relatively new technology called verifiable credentials, it is possible for users to store personal information about themselves in a digital wallet on their phone. Organisations that need to verify some information about the user (e.g. age, address, membership, qualification, etc.) can send a request and, with user permission, get the information they need without having to store any personal data themselves. The user proves aspects of their digital identity while keeping control over any personal information.","Our aim We build digital infrastructure that makes the world function as it should. Without borders, without vendor lock-in, without limitations. We work for a future where every individual is in control of their life. What we do At Animo we work with developers and organizations to improve digital interaction using verifiable credentials.

In today’s world, accurate and individually-owned data is more important than ever. Our ability to navigate through society depends heavily on being able to accurately capture and prove various pieces of information that represent who we are and our accomplishments.

These pieces of information can be anything from a passport proving our identity and citizenship, a graduation diploma proving our education, or a vocational license proving our ability to work in a designated field. Digital credentials are virtual representations of these important pieces of data which are essential in our lives and careers, but there are many problems with how this data is captured, shared, and controlled.

Dock is open and permissionless across our technology, network and governance. By enabling any organization or developer to issue via Dock, we can work together across markets and industries to unlock a better future world powered by secure, individually-owned verifiable credentials.","There is a problem in the digital economy. Paper and PDFs are easy to fake. Verifying the authenticity of a document or certificate is slow and manual. And if you don't verify them, you risk fraud. That's why world-class organisations use Verifiable Credentials to verify documents instantly. Verifiable Credentials are documents that contain a crypto signature: a permanent stamp that allows anyone to confirm you issued that credential. They are fraud-proof and verifiable with one click, creating instant trust between people and organisations in the digital economy. Dock provides organizations with all the infrastructure and tools to issue and verify credentials on the blockchain. Create your identity on blockchain and issue your first Verifiable Credentials in seconds. Certs intuitive no-code dashboard lets you customize and issue certificates in a few clicks. It's the preferred solution for those who want to issue VCs without having to touch any code. ＂We are confident that Dock is able to support us in scaling up our projects regarding SSI solutions within government and beyond” Do you want to issue Verifiable Credentials from your existing system?

In today’s world, accurate and individually-owned data is more important than ever. Our ability to navigate through society depends heavily on being able to accurately capture and prove various pieces of information that represent who we are and our accomplishments.

These pieces of information can be anything from a passport proving our identity and citizenship, a graduation diploma proving our education, or a vocational license proving our ability to work in a designated field. Digital credentials are virtual representations of these important pieces of data which are essential in our lives and careers, but there are many problems with how this data is captured, shared, and controlled.

Dock is open and permissionless across our technology, network and governance. By enabling any organization or developer to issue via Dock, we can work together across markets and industries to unlock a better future world powered by secure, individually-owned verifiable credentials.","There is a problem in the digital economy. Paper and PDFs are easy to fake. Verifying the authenticity of a document or certificate is slow and manual. And if you don't verify them, you risk fraud. That's why world-class organisations use Verifiable Credentials to verify documents instantly. Verifiable Credentials are documents that contain a crypto signature: a permanent stamp that allows anyone to confirm you issued that credential. They are fraud-proof and verifiable with one click, creating instant trust between people and organisations in the digital economy. Dock provides organizations with all the infrastructure and tools to issue and verify credentials on the blockchain. Create your identity on blockchain and issue your first Verifiable Credentials in seconds. Certs intuitive no-code dashboard lets you customize and issue certificates in a few clicks. It's the preferred solution for those who want to issue VCs without having to touch any code. ＂We are confident that Dock is able to support us in scaling up our projects regarding SSI solutions within government and beyond” Do you want to issue Verifiable Credentials from your existing system?

It’s a major development that delivers interoperability.","Indicio takes the stress out of managing this essential upgrade with two new integration packages By James Schulte The Hyperledger Indy DID Method is a major step forward in interoperability. As Indicio’s CTO, Ken Ebert put it, “The Indy DID Method paves the way for Hyperledger Indy credentials to scale globally by allowing Indy networks to seamlessly interoperate and create a ‘network-of-networks’ effect.” But this can only happen if all those currently using Hyperledger Indy and Hyperledger Aries update their operating systems, nodes, and agents to use the new Indy DID method. We can’t overemphasize this enough: If you want interoperability between Indy networks, you really have to have this. These code changes build in the resolution of DIDs, schemas, and other ledger objects to the network which contains them.Without these code changes it is very difficult to support multiple networks. We understand this can be a time consuming process and, in the case of upgrading agents, it could be a heavy lift. So why not let the authors of the code implement it for you? Enter Indicio’s DID:Indy Integration Service Packages! Two packages: One for agents and one for networks Upgrading customer agents is the most complex part of the process and where you’ll benefit most from knowledgeable implementation. We’ll also provide all the training you need to use the new update.

Sam Curren, Senior Architect New technology is inevitable: some of it will be evolutionary, some of it will be revolutionary; some of it will eat your business, and some of it might change the world and make life better. How do you know when to wait and when to jump? This is the dilemma for many people looking at decentralized identity right now. Is it ready to be implemented, are there “off-the-shelf” products I can use—or will it all be so much better next week or in a month or in a year? The dilemma seems to divide the decentralized identity community. Standards groups and initiatives advocate for the best possible solution, in the hope that it will eventually exist, while companies building solutions—like Indicio—say “build now because what we have works and works well and can be added to later. The ‘better’ may never come but the good—especially if open source—will continually get better and be relatively easy to upgrade.” But we believe our position is not just a matter of business logic: There’s a massive downside to letting failing technology—our current centralized and federated ways of managing identity—continue to fail businesses and consumers, citizens and governments. This downside is vastly greater than any of the differences between decentralized identity technologies that can be used today, those in development, and those hypothesized as being available sometime in the future. Don’t turn BBS+ into a minus This issue is not abstract. Right now, there is much discussion around JSON-LD BBS+ being “the” standard for managing verifiable credential key signatures in decentralized identity systems. The Good Health Pass, for example, recommends BBS+ for Covid digital credentials. BBS+ is good and Indicio is excited about adding it to its options for customers building decentralized solutions. But we can’t do so because BBS+ is still under development and it’s unclear when the final version will be available. Meanwhile, we have JSON-ZKP-CL Signatures that provide the ingredient BBS+ is working to add: privacy preserving predicate (zero-knowledge) proofs and blinded identity binding. Predicate proofs mean that you are able to generate a proof of something—such as age—without having to disclose the actual information, and they are a boon to preserving privacy. When thinking about BBS+, it is important to remember that credential format is just one part of a larger system that must be developed. Governance, Issuance and Verification agents, Holder apps, and more all need to be implemented; user experience must be developed; business relationships created: Decentralized identity is an ecosystem of infrastructure, software and governance working together as a product. All of these things can be deployed using existing production-ready credential formats. And the gains made now will translate into the future adoption of BBS+. The bigger point is this: Decentralized identity is at a breakthrough point. Governments in Canada and Germany have decided that verifiable credentials are the way forward; pilots and consumer products are being unveiled on a weekly basis. This is not the moment to say, “let’s wait; ” this is the moment to say “let’s scale.” At Indicio, we’ve shown how to make decentralized ecosystems work to solve real problems for lots of customers. In building, we’ve advanced the tech. In advancing the tech, we’ve built more solutions. This is the virtuous cycle of innovation and scale that we’re creating. We will add BBS+ into our products when it is available. But until then, we’re going to build solutions that BBS+ can be added to—and we think you should too.",https://indicio.tech/the-perfect-signature-style-is-the-enemy-of-the-one-that-works-today/,,Post,,Standards,,,,,,BBS+,,2021-11-22,,,,,,,,,,,,, Indicio,Indicio,,,,,,,,,Trust Registry or Machine-Readable Governance?,"The world will move towards decentralized identity if we make it easy for them to do so—and easy means, above all, fast. The solution is machine readable governance—a smart way of implementing rules for how to manage trust.","The world will move towards decentralized identity if we make it easy for them to do so—and easy means, above all, fast. The solution is machine readable governance—a smart way of implementing rules for how to manage trust. If you want a high-speed train to go fast, you need the right kind of track. It needs to be laser-straight, have few, if any, crossings, and be free of slower freight trains. Unfortunately, the U.S. has, mostly, the wrong kind of rails: lots of crossings, lots of freight trains, and lots of curvy and unaligned tracks. One section of the Northeast Corridor can’t handle train speeds above 25mph. And while billions will soon be spent on new high-speed trains that are lighter, more capacious, and more energy efficient, they will still run on the same rails at the same speeds. As we race ahead with decentralized identity networks—Ontario’s announcement of its Digital ID program is the most visible sign yet that we are in an accelerating phase of a paradigm shift on identity—we face lots of infrastructural choices, the answers to which could put us in an Amtrak-like bind. If you think of a decentralized identity network as a set of rails that allow information to be issued, shared, and verified, this process should be as frictionless and fast as possible; and it is, because it is powered by software—called agents— that enable consent and trust at every point in the system. Once you decide that an issuer of a verifiable credential is trustworthy, verifying their credentials is straightforward. You can also apply all kinds of rules at the agent level to govern more complex information requirements in a frictionless, automatic way. A verifier agent could be programmed to accept only certain kinds of tests from a laboratory, or only tests from approved laboratories at a national or international level. The ability to do this instantaneously is essential to adoption. This is why machine-readable governance, which takes place at the agent layer, is integral to the successful deployment of any kind of decentralized trusted data ecosystem: It’s a real-time way to handle governance decisions—the Boolean choreography of ‘if this, then that’— in the most frictionless way possible. This also means that a network can organize itself and respond as locally as possible to the constant flux of life and changes in information and rules. Not everybody wants the same thing or the same thing forever. Machine-readable governance therefore functions as a trust registry—literally a registry of who to trust as issuers and verifiers of credentials—and as a set of rules as to how information should be combined, and for whom, and in which order. It can also power graphs—sets of connections—between multiple registries. This means that different authority structures can conform to existing hierarchical governance structures—or to self-organize. Some entities may publish their ‘recipe’ for interaction including requirements for verification, while others may simply refer to other published governance. When everyone knows each other’s requirements, we can calibrate machine-readable governance to satisfy everyone’s needs in the most efficient way possible. Choreographing this complex workflow at the agent level delivers the speed needed by users. The elements of machine-readable governance Machine-readable governance is composed of elements that help to establish trust and enable interoperability: trusted participants, schemas (templates for structuring information in a credential), and rules and flows for presenting credentials and verifying them. Machine-readable governance can be hierarchical. Once a governance system is published, other organizations can adopt and then amend or extend the provided system. In the diagram above, Government A has published a complete set of governance rules. Government B selected Schema 1 for use and added its own rule and flow to the governance from Government A. Federal Medical Assn. C created its own list of trusted issuers (C1, C2), selected Schema 1 for use, and layered customized governance on top of the governance that Government A publishes. State Medical Assn. D has taken the layered governance selected by Federal Medical Assn. C and duplicated everything except its list of issuers. If we have this fantastic, high-speed way to verify in decentralized networks where, then, is the Amtrak problem? It lies in the belief that the best way to do governance is to divert all traffic through a centralized trust registry. This trust registry will be run by a separate organization, third party business, or consortium which will decide on who is a trusted issuer of credentials—and all parties will consult this single source of trust. Here’s why this isn’t a good idea: First, the point of high-speed rails is speed. If you must ping the trust registry for every look up, then you have created a speed limit on how fast verification can take place. It will slow down everything. Second, a trust registry creates a dependence on real-time calling when the system needs to be able to function offline. A downloadable machine-readable governance file allows pre-caching, which means no dependence on spotty connectivity. Given that we want interoperable credentials, it’s a little bit naïve and first-world-ish to assume the connection to the trust registry will always be on. Third, a centralized trust registry is unlikely to be free or even low cost, based on non-decentralized real-world examples. Being centralized it gets to act as a monopolist in its domain, until it needs to interact with another domain and another trust registry. Before you know it, we will need a trust registry of trust registries. With each layer of bureaucracy, the system gets slower and more unwieldy and more expensive. This kind of centralized planning is likely to only benefit the trust registry and not the consumer. And it can all be avoided if governments and entities just publish their rules. The kicker is that as the trust registries currently envisioned cannot yet accommodate rules for choreographing presentation and verification, it’s literally a case of ripping up the high-speed track and replacing it with slower rails. Yes, the analogy with Amtrak isn’t exact. The tracks that crisscross the U.S. are legacy tech while decentralized identity is entirely new infrastructure. But trust registries are an example of legacy thinking, of bolting on structures conceived for different systems and different infrastructural capacities. We can, with machine-readable governance, have smart trust registries that map to the way governments, local, federal, and global, actually make decisions and create rules. We also move further away from a model of trust that depends on single, centralized sources of truth, and toward zero trust-driven systems that enable fractional trust—lots of inputs from lots of sources that add up to more secure decision making. But most of all, we use the rails we’ve built to share information in a secure, privacy-preserving way in the fastest, most efficient way possible.",https://indicio.tech/trust-registry-or-machine-readable-governance/,,Post,,Standards,,,,Governance,,,,2021-09-28,,,,,,,,,,,,, -Jolocom,,Jolocom,,Joachim Lohkamp,W3C; DIF; INATBA; eSSIF; EBSI; T-Labs; IOTA,"European Union, Germany, Berlin",Europe,,,JoloCom,"Jolocom builds global infrastructureto support decentralized digital identity management.Smart agents own and control the data that defines them, a prerequisite for self-sovereign identity.

It should provide essential value to the user, not only but also in context of the internet of things, and not least to benefit from the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The original idea of the World Wide Web To start with, the vision of Jolocom aligns with the original idea of the World Wide Web, which was distributed: everyone would have their own node (e.g. home page), everyone would share their content (e.g. blog posts), and everyone would own their own data. The web consisted of nodes connected through links with no center. Jolocom wants to help reclaiming this vision that everyone owns their own node (digital identity) and that every node can communicate with any other node, with no intermediation (e.g. centralized platform). The dominating power of a few Today a handful of companies dominate vast parts of the web’s activities — Facebook for social networking, Google for searching, Paypal for payments or eBay for auctions, Samsung/IBM for IoT — and they actually own the data their users have provided and generated. Ergo these companies have unprecedented insight and power over us. They can influence and nudge us without our knowledge, which gives them not only a huge competitive advantage, but also interferes with fundamental values of society and the right for privacy. Social Linked Data (Solid) and Blockchain (Ethereum) Jolocom uses a decentralized software architecture that is very promising. It was initiated by Tim Berners-Lee who invented the web and gave it to us as a gift, free and open source. His new project is called Solid (“social linked data”) and it allows you to own your own data, while also using it with only the applications you want to use. With Solid, you simply store your data in your own Personal Data Store (PDS; in Jolocom’s case: a Solid Server), which is hosted wherever you wish. At the core of Solid is the WebID, which Jolocom integrates with the Ethereum blockchain, to build a self-sovereign digital identity that allows you to represent yourself and to enrich your data with semantic meaning. Besides that and storing data, it also lets other applications ask for your data. Solid authenticates the DApps (Decentralized Applications) through Access Control Lists (ACLs) and if you’ve given access permission to the requester of the data, the Solid server delivers it. Here’s a concrete example.You might store data from your IoT devices or sensors in your own PDS: the sort of data about yourself that would normally be uploaded directly from your IoT device to a third party. That way if someone built a new DApp, to offer specialized services to people, you could join it by using your WebID. To share information with others (individuals or organisations), you simply give them permission to access the appropriate information in your PDS. The data in your PDS would remain your own, in every sense of the word: fully under your control, stored where you choose, and usable only by an Organization’s WebID that you’ve given permission to. The fantastic thing about Solid is that it does all this without having to centralize information in hands that we can’t- and too often also should not — fully trust. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Users are becoming increasingly aware of the need and importance for strong data rights. Governments are slowly adapting to this, with the upcoming EU General Data Protection Regulation as the first move towards a market in which businesses will have to adapt with new business models and technical infrastructure. With the decentralized web as an answer to these needs, users will be able to use services they want to interact with, data will be stored in their own private location, and they will be able to switch between them. This will allow and encourage for a market with a significantly lowered barrier to innovate, one in which collaboration between players is much favourable over competition. Without the main competitive advantage of data, network effects and vendor lock-in will become virtually obsolete. We help businesses create and participate in collaborative decentralized ecosystems where the value generated by its services benefits the ecosystem as a whole. GDPR compliance is now mandated by May 2018. This means businesses are now required to show exactly how the data they collect is used and enables them to freely take this data with them to different services. Conclusion Social Linked Data with its decentralized architecture has the properties to profoundly enrich trust, data portability, and privacy. At the same time it will step up usability to a whole new level for both the user and service providers, while simultaneously becoming compliant to GDPR.

Find out how digital signatures are revolutionising the industry.,"This article is also available in French, German and Spanish. In the age of Google Meet or Zoom meetings, it is no surprise that the growing digital transformation is among the top trends in real estate and will have the most significant long-term impact in the coming years. The report Emerging Trends in Real Estate in Europe 2021, prepared by PwC and Urban Land Institute (ULI), presents a sector in full transformation. It also shows how the pandemic has accelerated the use of technology and the implementation of trends such as remote working and the digitisation of processes. Digital transformation in the real estate sector, then and now The incursion of new technologies has been one of the determining factors in recent years for the digital transformation in the real estate sector, but it was understood in terms of the use of digital platforms to promote properties in order to gain more visibility. On the other hand, in the last year, real estate technology has experienced a significant acceleration and specialists maintain that it will emerge stronger after the coronavirus crisis. Customer perception has evolved and the demand for the use of tools such as 360º virtual tours and digital signatures are here to stay. It is logical, considering that with the traditional methods of signing on paper or visiting a property, your clients had to physically travel to sign the required documentation or view the property. There is no doubt that these processes slow down the closing of deals and make it very difficult to follow up on ongoing transactions. Therefore, among the new trends in the real estate sector we find digital solutions that improve productivity and minimise travel. Save time and close sales on the spot without leaving your CRM The digital signature for real estate is a mere evolution of the paper signature, which allows the signing of all documents that accompany the real estate agent's work. By using our electronic signature service, real estate agents have much more operational flexibility, as they are freed from coordinating buyers and sellers with different schedules and geographic locations to close a sale. Your clients and estate agents will be able to sign contracts for rent, sale, lease or deposit, and accept offers from any mobile device, tablet or PC, quickly, safely and with maximum legal security. With VIDsigner e-signatures you can keep up with the speed of business and sign all your digital documentation remotely and without leaving your CRM. Real estate companies that manage many contracts related to their real estate portfolio on a daily basis can benefit from the integration of VIDsigner electronic signatures with SAP by getting their documents signed within the SAP Real Estate Management solution. 4 reasons to implement the electronic signature service in your real estate agency 1. Closing sales immediately Real estate agencies using VIDsigner get 99% of their contracts digitally signed. 2. Substantial reduction of face-to-face processes With electronic signatures your customers can sign documents from any device: mobile, tablet or PC and anywhere. No need to install any software. 3. Improved customer satisfaction Our service allows real estate agents to communicate a rate change or receive a signed contract without the need for the two parties to meet in the same physical space. 4. Possibility of integration within a CRM VIDsigner e-signatures are easily integrated into third-party solutions, allowing for greater productivity and coordination. As you can see, it is a solution that understands the needs of your customers and your company. Main use cases of e-signatures in real estate companies Our different digital signature mechanisms cover any scenario and adapt perfectly to the needs of your real estate agency or your clients: whether it is a handwritten signature on a tablet (BIO), remotely with a smartphone (REMOTE), by means of a qualified Personal certificate (CENTRALISED) or reliable communications by email (E-Delivery). The most common uses of signing documents that you can carry out as a real estate agency can be divided into 5 main sections: rentals, sales and purchases, administration, construction companies and developers. Rentals - Contract renewals - Termination notices to tenants - Assignment of powers of attorney - Subscriptions, cancellations and changes of ownership of utility contracts - Tenant's home insurance - Authorisation to request tenant references - Notification of non-payment - Payment authorisations (bank transfers) Buying and selling - Deposits - Purchase orders - Contract for publication of advertisements on real estate portals - Property showing reports - Inventory of properties - Home insurance - Terms and conditions - Agreements with third parties - Acceptance of offers and counter-offers Administration - Appointments and visits - Maintenance contracts - Conditions of use - Damage report - Repair orders - Change requests - Approvals - Data protection Construction companies - Contract with subcontractors - Contract with company - Purchase orders - RFQ - Documentation relating to certificates and inspections - Human Resources - GDPR - PPE management - Purchasing cycle Developers - GDPR in showflats in developments - Contract with real estate agencies: general agreements - Contracts with construction company - Contracts for sale of real estate assets - Purchase orders - RFQ - Documentation relating to certificates and inspections - Human resources GRUPPISO success story Find out how other real estate agencies have improved customer satisfaction thanks to the immediacy in closing sales and rentals, and the reduction of face-to-face processes. GRUPPISO is a real estate agency with more than 20 years' experience in the sale and rental of all types of properties (flats, commercial properties, parking spaces, etc.). Since its creation, their objective has been to offer 100% satisfaction to all their clients and to grow in its range of services, with the possibility of making remote presentations of properties directly on the buyer's smartphone and offering other services such as legal and tax advice or advice on wills, inheritances, signatures in notaries' offices or negotiations with banks. The GRUPPISO real estate agency manages the signing of around 600 contracts a year, including purchase and sale contracts, deposit contracts, insurance policies and other related documents. Thanks to VIDsigner's electronic signatures and its integration with RICsigner, they keep their business up to date and have seen significant savings in time and cost, according to CEO Pedro García. The implementation of the electronic signature was a major development in the development in management. 99% of our documents are digitally signed digitally and we have eliminated many face-to-face meetings.

The world of hospitality faces the large challenge of recovering from the economic impact of COVID-19 crisis while preserving safety and customer experience. Looking at the many developments that have happened lately, digitization has become the center of attention for all kinds of industries, and yet many of the typical processes within the hospitality industry remain paper-based. Take a look at guest check-in and check-out forms, employee records, operating sheets, supplier invoices, sales reports, and cash receipts, for example. Today that approach has changed completely, hotels are going digital and contact-less in every aspect, and fortunately, electronic signatures can play a key role in offering the best experience to customers. Just as easy as the clients checked in before, new technologies such as electronic signatures enable more secure scenarios, like declaring on a digital form your details, passport, and vaccination credentials and sign them, when arriving to the hotel. Then, just like your clients checked in using an electronic biometric signature on a Tablet, they can check out using their smartphone with a remote signature and preserve social distance, and ask the staff to mail them the invoice instead of getting a hard copy on paper. Next time tourists book their stay at a hotel they may see pioneer experiences that are spreading globally like the one developed by H10 Hotels, which has successfully completed the digitalization of its check-in processes, and its integration with its corporate information systems based on Navision, thanks to its technology partner Costaisa. H10 Hotels has nearly 40 years of history and more than 60 hotels in 18 destinations around the world, and has installed up to 73 tablet devices for its customers in the Caribbean and Europe, using VIDsigner eSignature’s technology. The influence of the pandemic on the Spanish hospitality industry has been explored in depth. Moreover, the response and recovery strategies of the largest Spanish hotel chains to guarantee a COVID-19-free stay in their facilities and to recover the accommodation activity have been discussed on many European levels. In Spain, as published by law (BOE) this year and to reinforce security against COVID-19, the government updated hotel check-in to allow digital means. Check-in forms can now be completed in electronic format, allowing for more efficient management of log books. The future of technology for hospitality More and more hotels are relying on technology to position their services in the market. As consumers value this in every aspect of our lives, it is vital to offer services that are tailored to their needs and preferences. Using a check in or a check out with biometric signature on Tablet or remote signature with a smartphone means not only offering extra value to the brand and cutting inefficient costs, but also facilitating the registration of guests, allowing an automatic process that captures the information and streams the communication with the users and the authorities. Safety compliance As the vaccination process rolls out for part of the world, and tourism starts to reopen, the relationship between the front-desk employees and the tourist will become more and more digital. In addition, many destinations will require proof of vaccination to allow some travellers to skip COVID-19 tests and lengthy quarantines. And this proof for some countries may come in the form of a vaccine passport, as it is the case for the European Union. In terms of safety and legal security, an electronic signature becomes a smooth tool for employees and management who are genuinely concerned about safety, and enhances the chances on how organizations would maintain the compliance with COVID-19 safety rules and procedures to protect workers from being infected and stop possible transmission during service encounters.",https://www.validatedid.com/post-en/electronic-signatures-for-hospitality,,Post,,Ecosystem,,,,,,,,2021-06-29,,,,,,,,,,,,, ValidatedID,ValidatedID,,,,,Ecosystem,,,,SportChain: a Decentralized Trust and Reputation Service for the Sports Industry,Do you know the story of Carlos Kaiser?

He was a professional Brazilian football player that never played a single match but managed to still have a professional football career. He wanted the lifestyle without having to do the work. Although this is a somewhat extreme example, the issue of fake sports data is prevalent. The sports industry is undergoing a digital transformation. The world of sports has largely moved onto the web and mobile. But, despite the digital transition, challenges remain. Although the internet has created new opportunities for organizations and athletes, it has also given rise to a plethora of problems. One such problem is fake sports data. The sports industry is a multi-billion-dollar industry with a lot of different stakeholders. The stakeholders include the players, clubs, federations, sponsors, journalists, fans, media, etc. Currently, there is no central point where all parties have access to the same trustworthy information. As a result, there is a need for verifiable and trustworthy sports data that both organizations and players can rely on. Currently, identity data are often stored in so-called identity silos where users do not have control over their own data. In addition, this raises privacy and security concerns. Therefore, we are excited to present our new project, SportChain. SportChain is a blockchain-based service that aims to bring transparency, security, and efficiency to the sports industry. SportChain aims to elevate the trust in sports data and make these data verifiable, authentic, and analyzable. SportChain will achieve this by taking advantage of our decentralized identity service, VIDchain. VIDchain is a service based on Blockchain to give back control to people over their online identity and facilitate secure user access to online services. With VIDchain, only the user has full control of their information securely stored on their own Personal identity wallet, VIDwallet. In this way, you can have all your Personal data (such as your driving license, passport, vaccination credential, etc.), on your phone. In a similar way that you use your physical IDs to identify yourself in the real world, you can add Verifiable Credentials to your VIDwallet to authenticate yourself online. SportChain is the first step towards creating a decentralized ecosystem for the sports industry. By using an immutable sports ledger, all parties can write, read, and verify all information being stored on it. This will allow us to track all data regarding sports events — from player movements and scores to injury reports —with full transparency. A Blockchain-based database for player data management: This decentralized database will allow players, clubs, and agents to store any Personal information related to their careers securely. Additionally, it will enable them to grant different levels of access to different trusted parties within the sports ecosystem, such as club managers, trainers, and scouts. We envision an extension of the VIDchain services by a notarization and reputation service. Using this notarization service, we can notarize sports data using distributed ledger technology which is tamper-proof and secure. With this notarization, the data becomes trustworthy and verifiable (immutable) by anyone at any time. In addition, the reputation service can be used to perform some big data analyses taking the sports data as input. It offers huge potential for various types of applications. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 957228.",https://www.validatedid.com/post-en/sportchain-a-decentralized-trust-and-reputation-service-for-the-sports-industry,,Post,,Ecosystem,,,,,,,,2022-03-09,,,,,,,,,,,,, diff --git a/_posts/companies/2023-05-14-animo.md b/_posts/companies/2023-05-14-animo.md index b880410d..c2450912 100644 --- a/_posts/companies/2023-05-14-animo.md +++ b/_posts/companies/2023-05-14-animo.md @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ layout: companies permalink: companies/animo/ canonical_url: 'https://decentralized-id.com/companies/animo/' categories: ["Companies"] -oldtags: ["Digibyte","eSSIF","animo"] +oldtags: ["Digibyte","ESSIFlab","animo"] last_modified_at: 2023-02-20 toc: true published: false diff --git a/_posts/companies/2023-05-14-energyweb.md b/_posts/companies/2023-05-14-energyweb.md index 122938a5..c8508571 100644 --- a/_posts/companies/2023-05-14-energyweb.md +++ b/_posts/companies/2023-05-14-energyweb.md @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ layout: companies permalink: companies/energyweb/ canonical_url: 'https://decentralized-id.com/companies/energyweb/' categories: ["Companies"] -oldtags: ["Sovrin Steward","Founding Sovrin Steward","DIF","eSSIF","Energyweb"] +oldtags: ["Sovrin Steward","Founding Sovrin Steward","DIF","ESSIFlab","Energyweb"] last_modified_at: 2023-01-18 published: false --- diff --git a/_posts/government/europe/2020-01-11-europe.md b/_posts/government/europe/2020-01-11-europe.md index bae7b130..7cb61c15 100644 --- a/_posts/government/europe/2020-01-11-europe.md +++ b/_posts/government/europe/2020-01-11-europe.md @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ layout: single permalink: /government/europe/ canonical_url: 'https://decentralized-id.com/government/europe/' categories: ["Government"] -tags: ["Ethereum","uPort","Europe","Zug","Switzerland","eSSIF","eIDAS","EBSI","Verifiable Credentials","W3C"] +tags: ["Ethereum","uPort","Europe","Zug","Switzerland","ESSIFlab","eIDAS","EBSI","Verifiable Credentials","W3C"] header: image: /images/european_union-header.webp caption: "[image source](https://www.fidh.org/en/international-advocacy/european-union/eu-budget-joint-call-by-civil-society-to-reverse-cuts-to-the-ndici)" diff --git a/_posts/government/europe/2020-11-20-eSSIF.md b/_posts/government/europe/2020-11-20-eSSIF.md index c7c10d4a..1606af49 100644 --- a/_posts/government/europe/2020-11-20-eSSIF.md +++ b/_posts/government/europe/2020-11-20-eSSIF.md @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ layout: single permalink: /government/europe/eSSIF/ canonical_url: 'https://decentralized-id.com/government/europe/eSSIF/' categories: ["Government"] -tags: ["Europe","eSSIF","TNO","eIDAS","Accenture","APG","Brightlands","Chamber of Commerce","De Volksbank","Rabobank","EBSI"] +tags: ["Europe","ESSIFlab","TNO","eIDAS","Accenture","APG","Brightlands","Chamber of Commerce","De Volksbank","Rabobank","EBSI"] header: image: /images/eSSIF.webp caption: "[image source](https://ssimeetup.org/understanding-european-self-sovereign-identity-framework-essif-daniel-du-seuil-carlos-pastor-webinar-32/)"
