CC0 1.0 Universal
Statement of Purpose
The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator and
subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for the
purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and scientific
works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear of later
claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other works, reuse
and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever and for any
purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes. These owners may
contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free culture and the
further production of creative, cultural and scientific works, or to gain
reputation or greater distribution for their Work in part through the use and
efforts of others.
For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any expectation
of additional consideration or compensation, the person associating CC0 with a
Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she is an owner of Copyright
and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily elects to apply CC0 to the Work
and publicly distribute the Work under its terms, with knowledge of his or her
Copyright and Related Rights in the Work and the meaning and intended legal
effect of CC0 on those rights.
1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be
protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not limited
to, the following:
i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, communicate,
and translate a Work;
ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or likeness
depicted in a Work;
iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data in
a Work;
vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal
protection of databases, and under any national implementation thereof,
including any amended or successor version of such directive); and
vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the world
based on applicable law or treaty, and any national implementations thereof.
2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention of,
applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently, irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of Affirmer's Copyright
and Related Rights and associated claims and causes of action, whether now
known or unknown (including existing as well as future claims and causes of
action), in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum
duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time
extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number of
copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation
commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes
the Waiver for the benefit of each member of the public at large and to the
detriment of Affirmer's heirs and successors, fully intending that such Waiver
shall not be subject to revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or
any other legal or equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work
by the public as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason be
judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the Waiver
shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into account
Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the extent the Waiver
is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected person a royalty-free,
non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive, irrevocable and
unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights in
the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration
provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii)
in any current or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any
purpose whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or
promotional purposes (the "License"). The License shall be deemed effective as
of the date CC0 was applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the
License for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under
applicable law, such partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not
invalidate the remainder of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby
affirms that he or she will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining
Copyright and Related Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims
and causes of action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to
Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
4. Limitations and Disclaimers.
a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.
b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or warranties
of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied, statutory or otherwise,
including without limitation warranties of title, merchantability, fitness
for a particular purpose, non infringement, or the absence of latent or
other defects, accuracy, or the present or absence of errors, whether or not
discoverable, all to the greatest extent permissible under applicable law.
c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons
that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without limitation
any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work. Further, Affirmer
disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary consents, permissions
or other rights required for any use of the Work.
d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a
party to this document and has no duty or obligation with respect to this
CC0 or use of the Work.

# Awesome Decentralized Identity [![Awesome](https://awesome.re/badge.svg)](https://awesome.re)
*Self-Sovereign, Blockchain and Decentralized Identity Resources*
>A good self‐sovereign identity system will allow individuals to directly influence how companies, governments, and others correlate our interactions across different services and locations by default. It won’t fix all identity problems nor preclude alternative identity approaches, but it will put the individual in control of most uses of identity and give organizations a simpler, easier, more ethical way to use identity to improve how they provide services and products. When successful, it will not only enable individuals to exercise greater control over how companies and governments keep track of us, it will also illuminate those situations where self‐sovereign identity is restricted, facilitating a conversation about when and where such limits are appropriate. [Joe Andrieu -A Technology‐Free Definition of Self‐Sovereign Identity](https://github.com/jandrieu/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2016/blob/master/topics-and-advance-readings/a-technology-free-definition-of-self-sovereign-identity.pdf)

## What is Decentralized ID? [**^**](#contents)
That's a big question, and what follows are just some notes, until I work out a more thoughtful answer.
The essence of Decentralized-ID is in creating open standards for a privacy preserving internet-wide identity layer — not owned by any one particular organization, but interoperable between all.
It's impossible to have a conversation about decentralized-id without discussing blockchain and self sovereign identity:
* Self Sovereign Identity principles (with some help from the GDPR) have helped to shape the narrative around putting the identity owner in control over their personal information.
* Blockchain fueled longstanding efforts to create a privacy preserving internet-wide identity protocol, and inspired development of decentralized networks for online identification.
* The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have also helped to fueled efforts for a global and widely accessible identity solution.

# Bitcoin Identity Standards and Applications

* [Bitnation taps Blockchain tech to aid Refugees](https://www.newsbtc.com/2015/09/09/bitnation-taps-blockchain-tech-to-aid-refugees/)[[**^**](#Bitnation-and-the-United-Nations)]
* [BTCR DID Method](https://w3c-ccg.github.io/didm-btcr/) — The Bitcoin Reference DID method (did:btcr) supports DIDs on the public Bitcoin blockchain. The Bitcoin Reference method has minimal design goals: a DID trust anchor based on the Bitcoin blockchain, updates publicly visible and auditable via Bitcoin transactions, and optionally, additional DID Document information referenced in the transaction OP_RETURN data field. No other Personal Identifiable Information (PII) would be placed on the immutable blockchain.
## Spidchain
* [Spidchain](http://www.spidchain.com/) [[**wp**](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B89WE3IIHmy1Z0ZSSWVmVEtaaG8/view)]
* "offers a platform for self-sovereign identity, including desktop and mobile apps for end-users. It uses Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) - backed by optionally Bitcoin or Ethereum - to implement a marketplace for verifiable claims. The Spidchain applications allow individuals to create, recover, and revoke DIDs, to authenticate, to sign and verify files and claims, and more."

## ERC-EIP [**^**](#contents)
* [ERC: Lightweight Identity #1056](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/1056) —This ERC describes a standard for creating and updating identities with a limited use of blockchain resources. An identity can have an unlimited number of delegates and attributes associated with it. Identity creation is as simple as creating a regular key pair ethereum account, which means that it's fee (no gas costs) and all ethereum accounts are valid identities. Furthermore this ERC is fully DID compliant.
* [ERC1056 ❤ ERC780 — an open identity and claims protocol for Ethereum](https://medium.com/uport/erc1056-erc780-an-open-identity-and-claims-protocol-for-ethereum-aef7207bc744)

* [ERC-1484 Digital Identity Aggregator](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/1495) —A protocol for aggregating digital identity information that's broadly interoperable with existing, proposed, and hypothetical future digital identity standards.
* [EIP-1078](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/ed621645c8f3bc5756492f327cda015f35d9f8da/EIPS/eip-1078.md) -
This presents a method to replace the usual signup/login design pattern with a minimal ethereum native scheme, that doesn’t require passwords, backing up private keys nor typing seed phrases.
* [ERC-1077 and ERC-1078: The magic of executable signed messages](https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/erc-1077-and-erc-1078-the-magic-of-executable-signed-messages-to-login-and-do-actions/351)

## Microledgers and Edge-Chains [**^**](#contents)
**Lightly edited transcript from Youtube.**
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/Hu9v2Md.png"/>
Okay, I think we'll go ahead and get started. There are likely to be people trickling in, if they're like I am. If I didn't have to be here speaking I would take my time getting in the next session after lunch feeling a little bit sluggish... but anyway, they'll come in and and we'll already be in the presentation.
My name is Daniel Hardman, hopefully you've if you read about this session you might know a little bit about my background. I work with Hyperledger Indy project, mostly. I'm a maintainer there, and I also work for, well so I have a day job with Evernym... and then a side gig, where I work on the technical governance part of the Sovrin Foundation, which is closely connected to the Indy project.
Anyway, today I'm going to talk about some concepts that have been marinating in my mind and in the minds of some people that I work with for quite a while. Not all these ideas are originally mine I want to give credit where credit is due.
Lots of other smart people have been talking and thinking about this as well I'm just a spokesman for a lot of other people, and hopefully the title intrigued you a little bit.
Microledger's and edge-chains: I'm going to demystify that, and when you walk away I hope you're gonna think of this as not so much a super technical session that you've been to but instead a session that kind of has some intriguing ideas for you to think about later in whatever you're doing.
## A Personal Arc [**^**](#contents)
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/5aXEDkg.png"/>
I'd like to start by taking you on a little bit of a personal journey. I started working in blockchain two and a half years ago, and when I first became aware of the basic concepts of how blockchain worked and so forth I became really excited about how blockchain had solved a bunch of problems
and how I was going to go conquer the world with all this new technology and it was awesome and that was a I lasted in that phase of my acquaintance with blockchain for, I don't know, several months but I start to encounter practical problems with some of the blockchain stuff I was doing.
and I hope as I describe the rest of this arc you'll smile a little bit to yourselves, and say, yeah I've kind of been through the same thing.
in a way this is kind of like the Gartner hype cycle you know there's the the spike of excitement and then the trough of disillusionment.
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/BsTgEd0.png"/>
I went through learning about some of the performance and scaling issues that we had to deal with, and some of the complexity.
and then I started to realize that putting data on the blockchain had certain repercussions that I didn't always want to deal with, and that there needed to be some very careful thought about how we encrypted data.
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/kdoyUEq.png"/>
and then I realized encrypting it wasn't enough, it just plain shouldn't be there at all. and so hopefully you guys are recognizing these kinds of patterns in your own thinking here and then I got into the whole all regulatory compliance of GDPR thing and gee this is getting harder and
harder.
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/V5cyLYb.png"/>
Then I and several of my companions discovered this notion of microledgers, and we feel like it was kind of an aha moment for us. So I'll explain what microledgers are and I think you'll see how that's relevant to this arc when I'm done.
Let me just point out that that same kind of arc that I just described in my own thinking we're seeing unfold in lots of different ways in the whole blockchain space.
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/oVC0WwF.png"/>
All of the things on this list here are examples of projects where somebody has thought hard about the original blockchain paradigm, and tweaked something in an interesting way because
of that same arc, and you know the tweaks are different.
* plasma is about taking smart contracts off the blockchain
* triple signed receipts is about preserving confidence in data but not having to keep a full history even though you have a strong proof that you're at the right state anyway
they all different things up there and if you don't know about all those, I didn't know about all of them either until I went and researched this talk, and I was looking for patterns.
I knew about some of them and I found some others there but the point is that I think the whole industry is going through a maturation phase where we're realizing that there's certain aspects of what blockchain can do that we love, and there's other aspects of what blockchain gives us that we don't love so much and we're trying to kind of wrestle against those constraints
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/ZBiVQ0J.png"/>
These are the two things that I think these arcs all have in common, mine and and the things on the previous slide: they're all trying to do less with the central big blockchain in some creative way so that they can keep the special value out of the blockchain but not have some of its downsides.
## Blockchain— the new centralization [**^**](#contents)
I want to just point out something I went and looked just for fun I went and looked up architecture diagrams with Google. I was looking for old client-server architecture diagrams okay and these are just three that I picked at random out of the Google image search results list
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/yYUdvNr.png"/>
you see that client-server is kind of this old paradigm where we have this notion of a centralized thing, and client-server equals bad, right?
we've been down that road we don't like that anymore, but here's what's interesting I also went and searched for some architecture diagrams about blockchain and some blockchain supposed to be highly decentralized and lo and behold there are lots and lots of evidence in these diagrams that blockchain is actually it just almost the exact same thing
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/py6olR5.png"/>
now there's some things about blockchain that are different I'm not arguing that they're identical but the point is there is this phenomenon sometimes that blockchain has been used in a way that's far more centralized than we like to admit yes there are nodes that spread the load around and yes the nodes create this notion of diverse or I mean diffuse trust and yet all of those nodes can be treated as one bundle in the middle
and in fact in a lot of architecture diagrams that you see in presentations at this conference and any other conference you will see a little graphic that represents the blockchain and a bunch of arrows coming to it from all over the place and what's that that's centralization
## Where Blockchain is Needed (or Not) [**^**](#contents)
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/ugjLkS9.png"/>
so we don't necessarily need the blockchain for everything that we think we need it for the Vitalik, back in April, I'll let you read that quote there, well actually I'm going to read it because it's such a good one:
>Blockchains.. are a far less efficient computer and database than technologies that have existed for over 40 years... efficiency is not what block chains are built for - [Vitalik Buterin, April 2018](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJt3yag96fU)
if you actually go and look up that quote he does a comparison of how much it costs to do certain kinds of computations on Ethereum versus AWS, and it's about a million to one difference in efficiency.
>"Let's say you and I, we are happy to do some transactions with each other.. We don't really need to use the blockchain unless we disagree with each other... Why would you need the mediator if you are actually in accordance...?" - Arther Gervais (Founder of Liquidity Netowrk), June 2018
Then founder of Liquidity Network, in June. This is a really good quote: - bottom line is this notion, you know what? Why would you need a mediator if you're actually agreeing with each other?
now there's an answer to that question but there's also, that question exposes some interesting things to think about.
I think smart people in the industry are starting to question some basic assumptions.
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/ZfhYNAD.png"/>
here's my picture of an architecture that's centralized in blockchain oriented you got the blockchain in the middle here and you got the arrows coming to it right this is how I was thinking about my own particular problem which was the identity management relationship management problem that's at the core of identity when I first came into this world and if you see,
we've got two parties that each have a relationship and want to trust each other we have Alice we have Bob and Alice needs to know some things about her view of this relationship and she also needs to know some things about Bob's view of the relationship okay and these two views of the world
what's symmetrical and complimentary but they're using the blockchain in the middle as the trusted intermediary and like I said this view of the world sort of works but it chafed on me and it became increasingly uncomfortable as I learned some of the drawbacks and challenges to it
## Microledgers [**^**](#contents)
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/kX93eTU.png"/>
Here's what I evolved to, and this is what I want to talk to you about, is the microledger notion. In this notion you still have a blockchain, and blockchain does have relevance it's highly relevant, but it's not the main mediator of the relationship between Alice and Bob.
Alice and Bob talk to each other directly and then they have this kind of back-channel thing that they can use to interact with the blockchain to the extent that they need to and I'm gonna talk about what they really need the blockchain for but it's not as much as we thought at least as much as I thought to begin with
so when you have this kind of a relationship what you have is two parties that are kind of at the edge of the old diagram, instead of the thing that's in the middle, you have the things that are at the edges okay and these things at the edge are talking to each other. this is how I get the concept of an edge chain
that's where that word in the title of the presentation comes from, is the notion that you can have some of the same characteristics of a blockchain, you can have high trust and tamper resistance, and diffuse patterns of communication and so forth. but, you don't have the blockchain sitting in the middle of it. it's all happening out at the edges
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/c0mtJW0.png"/>
okay so this evolves even further: if you have this person Alice having relationships with multiple people, she
continues to have these lateral side relationships. she doesn't have them through the blockchain.
now you might be saying well wait a minute if you take the blockchain and all those big arrows out what is it even useful for?
## How Blockchain is Still Relevant [**^**](#contents)
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/uJ1Kkwq.png"/>
In my case it's useful for certain problems that require external trust. For example, there has to be a place where I can announce that a credential, upon which identity is based, has been revoked. The world needs to test for that condition when they're seeing credentials presented.
I know that there's people out here who aren't in the identity space. I think there's analogs to this in in non-identity world too.
There's certain things that you need to consult the blockchain for. The main things that aren't on this list are things like:
* talking to each other
* storing things
* doing computation
* interacting
None of that stuff has to go through smart contracts or any of that. It just has to have a few very small things that make this possible.
Besides revoking credentials, in the identity space:
* You have to be able to revoke a device: If you leave your phone in on the backseat of an uber you need to be able to quickly say don't let anybody use that phone to impersonate me.
* you need to be able to discover parties that are intending to be public
* you need a secret rendezvous spot: so if you think of secret agents that you know they're heading off into enemy territory, and they agree that if if they're not back by such-and-such a time, then they're going to meet in the square at midnight, or whatever...
You can use a blockchain kind of like that: agree that we'll rendezvous on the blockchain if we lose track of one another, or have to repair a relationship and we can't do it by direct conversation.
It turns out that Merkel proofs of state integrity between these two parties can be relevant.
This last one is where I get the name micro ledger for this talk. That is, the way that these two parties interact with each other, has to have some characteristics of proveability and tamper-resistance even though it's not on the main blockchain.
You can do that by doing some very simple (well it's not very simple... it's simple compared to other stuff) crypto on your local hard drive..
When you interact with the other, passing them Merkel proof-of-state and having them check it against what they have.
you end up knowing with confidence that both of you have the same thing, and and you haven't drifted or misinterpreted one another.
You end up basically having a tiny little ledger on your machine for the relationship. Alice would have one for the relationship she has with Bob. I'm talking tiny, I'm talking 5k 10k little tiny files.
They're not massive, they don't last necessarily forever, they don't store any significant amounts of information, but they just have an orderly sequence of hashes that show how state has evolved that's the micro ledger concept.
## App Centralization Continuum [**^**](#contents)
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/lnKUizp.png"/>
After we started playing with this idea I started to see things a little bit different this is my journey again but I thought instead of it being kind of a time sequence I saw it as a continuum of centralization and I really think that's where my mental journey took me is I started out thinking blockchain was cool and I'm going to be decentralized but I wasn't really very decentralized in my thinking and took me a long time to get there
you know I started over with "put it all in the blockchain" which isn't so far away from traditional client-server
then you start seeing people talking about sub chains and side chains and things like that that's an example of moving farther to the right on the continuum
then you hear people talking about well just anchor it on the blockchain now we're starting to get pretty far over to the towards the right if you go all the way over to the right you have a pure edge chain where you really don't need the blockchain at all.
I don't think I'm gonna write any software that looks completely at that end of the continuum. I think the blockchain introduces some characteristics of trust that I really need but I think I can get pretty far over here get all the benefits from blockchain that I really care about but not have hardly any of the drawbacks or complications and the only price is complexity darn it
okay so I put up here on this picture, also I have gaps right here and edge chain protocols. when I first started exploring this notion of the edge chain, I was calling the thing that we were building a dApp. because it's a decentralized app, of course. but I realized that what the industry is calling a dApp is actually pretty far over to this side because it's typically running everything through a smart contract that does centralize computation.
there are dApps that aren't that way, so the DAP thing moves over towards the right. There are some gaps that get maybe almost this far, but you you can take it all the way over here, and I think if you go way over to the right side it's not really fair to call that a dApp because it's pretty different from what the industry thinks a dApp is.
## Teleomergent - More than a decentralized app [**^**](#contents)
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/1E6jCjZ.png"/>
I'm gonna give you some examples here in just a minute. Just for kicks, I'm gonna introduce a new word to you, because this is why I'm excited about the right end of that continuum. I think that the things on the right end of that continuum have this characteristic.
this is a big word, you know, a $24.00 word. but it's "telly-o-mergent." If you're familiar with the word [teleology](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/teleology) or [telonomy](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/teleonomy), this has the notion that you have order from chaos.
Okay? but, it's not order that's decreed by some central party it's order that arises spontaneously. Teleonomy is used in discussions about evolution and biology and how a very complex ecosystem can manifest really sophisticated patterns of behavior even though there's not anybody out there telling the Zebras which direction to run when the Lions chase them
so you may have also heard the word chaotic before and you may have run into the notion of Adam Smith's invisible hand in the economy it's the notion that you give a bunch of independent actors the right incentives and lo and behold the free market causes an interesting dynamic to emerge that's useful
and that's what I think is the true characteristic at the far right side is that you give independent agents the ability to interact and these agents find useful ways to interact according to a protocol.
## Dapps vs Edgechain Protocols [**^**](#contents)
this is just a little compare and contrast I think I'm gonna skip over this suffice it to say that daps and edge chains have a lot in common but I think there's some interesting differences
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/cVg6gFH.png"/>
and I'll maybe during Q&A; we can come back to this slide if you have questions about it, but let me now actually give you some examples of what I'm talking about.
## Defining an Edgechain Protocol [**^**](#contents)
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/vIDt6iO.png"/>
When you define an edge chain protocol you have to answer these four questions:
* what are the roles in my protocol?
* what types of messages do we exchange?
* what stage or sequencing rules apply?
* and how our trust and incentives managed?
## A Familiar Example—Buying a House [**^**](#contents)
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/XEpCvty.png"/>
so here's a really familiar example, okay? no tech involved. how do you buy a house? What are the roles in buying a house?
well you have a buyer and a seller, and the realtor for the buyer and the realtor for the seller. you have a home inspector, you have a title company.
these are roles, and by the way, buying a house is a protocol. You can't just go order a title, insurance, on some arbitrary home, because that would be out of order for the, it's not the sequence.
You have to start by doing step one and then you go to step two and then you go to step three right and the parties in this interaction have responsibilities they can do certain things, and not other things.
The kinds of messages that get exchanged in this protocol: we have an offer to buy, a counter-offer, an acceptance or rejection, a home report, a title search. These are messages.
What are the state rules that apply? well this is an example state machine I drew. You start by negotiating and you can go round and round in circles in negotiating, eventually you exit the negotiating phase. you're in the preparing phase where you order a title search and a home report and all these things and anyway you end up consummating the deal or not consummating it
That is an edge protocol.
Why is it an edge protocol?
There's no blockchain involved, right? it's people out at the edge.
There's a hundred thousand things like this, ordering a hamburger is a protocol. You can't just walk up to somebody nd say, "here's seven twenty five." You have to walk up to him and say, "I want number three on the menu," then give him $7.25 after they ask you "is that to go or not?" "to go" right?
There's this whole protocol involved in that, that we all know. The reason I'm harping on this is because all kinds of business problems are solved by protocols all the time, and in fact, they're mostly edge protocols.
That's a cool thing if you can just hook them up to blockchain for just the parts that you need them for, and not all of it. The weight of what you're building goes way down.
## Trust Ping Protocol [**^**](#contents)
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/pUnUIiD.png"/>
Here's a simple edge protocol that's techy. this one is relevant to the identity space. This is the trust ping protocol, and in Indy there is a HIPE (which is like an RFC) about how you ping another person.
You have their DID, for them that's their identifier, and given that identifier you should be able to reach out and talk to that person.
So how do you do it? According to the whole Indy technology should be able to do it no matter what transport you're used to send messages whether it's HTTP or mail or Bluetooth or whatever.
You should know some things when you engage in this trust ping about whether the person on the other side is trustworthy and how much trust might have been eroded by the kind of mechanisms you used in between you.
There's a HIPE about that, you can see the roles, the pinger and the pingee; and the message types.
let me give you a quick demo of this protocol. I'm gonna start up an indie agent, and that agent is going to be listening on email, and I'm going to talk to it by email, and I'm gonna use the trust ping protocol to to interact with it.
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/SA01z4J.png"/>
This is the [trust ping protocol documentation](https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-hipe/pull/67), and the trust ping documentation says that if I want to ping somebody this is the kind of JSON message I need to send it.
So, I'm gonna send it one. Let's go over here to my email, and I'll bring up my little trust ping. nothing up my sleeve. here's the the JSON that I'm sending, which is just a direct copy and paste out of this HIPE here... so that's the that's the stuff that I sent.
and let's see... message was sent. that's good. now what we've got to see is if the message is going to come back... there we go.
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/qe7MocA.png"/>
so the agent on the other side pinged me back and let's see what it sent me: it sent me an aim style message.
This is the JSON that I got back, it says "hi" from Indy agent. So, I've just engaged in a protocol.
Now what does blockchain add to this? I could do this entirely without blockchain, but there's some things I wouldn't have: I wouldn't have confidence in the other sender. Somebody could sit in between me in this protocol and mess with my mind, right? be a man-in-the-middle.
So most of the protocol is not modified, but by adding a little bit of blockchain pixie dust, I'll call it, I can increase the trust behind this protocol.
That's the kind of thing that I'm seeing over and over again as I get my head wrapped around this paradigm is you start with a paradigm that's really not very blockchain heavy, and then you say "what are the things that's wonderful about blockchain, that I need to add into this? and how can I do it as light as possible?"
## Tic Tac Toe [**^**](#contents)
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/Ym9zesW.png"/>
okay so on to the next thing... here. Tic Tac Toe. We could also play tic-tac-toe. I'm gonna wait and see if I have enough time. I'll do a demo of tic-tac-toe if you feel like it later. but anyway I have a demo of that if you want to. this one was not there's no blockchain goodness on this this is all the way to the complete right side is being a pure hedge protocol because you don't need a blockchain to play tic-tac-toe okay.
## DID method for peer (private pairwise) DIDs [**^**](#contents)
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/T3nCl47.png"/>
This is a more serious one. What if you want to manage a relationship? Alice and Bob live across the world, they use complicated technologies. Each of them has different technologies. One of them has a laptop, and a cell phone; and the other one has a desktop computer at work, and two cell phones, and something in the cloud.
They want to talk to each other and there's different pieces of software running on all these different things at different version levels and all this kind of stuff.
How does Alice tell Bob: "you shouldn't accept messages anymore from my old cell phone that I just sent to the recycling"?
I think they told me they were gonna wipe the hard drive on it but I just don't trust I'm gonna tell Bob not to do that. How does Alice say, "I upgraded my own world here, and I've got a new device, and now if I send messages from that device you
should trust them."
how does Alice say I'm gonna rotate my keys? all of these are concerns of managing a relationship, and you need a protocol to manage a relationship... and guess what? it's mostly an edge protocol.
## Peer DID Method Spec [**^**](#contents)
This is a more serious one that has pretty high stakes. I've been working on a method to describe how DIDs can be created, and the DID docs associated with those DIDs can be shared.
You can see the the roles here are the participants in the relationship and there's some message types that are described here there's actually a [DID method spec draft](https://dhh1128.github.io/peer-did-method-spec/index.html) and I'll show that to you really briefly here and you can go look it up yourself later if you want to
<a href="https://dhh1128.github.io/peer-did-method-spec/index.html"><img src="https://imgur.com/QlhWEmfl.png" /></a>
I'll give you the URL and you can go read it, but there's this whole spec behind this, and this is what has caused, I think, the most ruminating on the concept of a microledger... because the microledger as a persistence mechanism could provide high trust to back the did method that I'm mentioning.
## Megaphone Protocol [**^**](#contents)
Let me go on to another one that's maybe a little bit more interesting so this is just an imaginary one but I think I'd love if somebody in the audience wants to build this I'd be super excited and I would buy your app.
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/wzji3sc.png"/>
A megaphone protocol, what I'd like is something where if I'm sitting on the beach in Indonesia and a tsunami happens... I can grab my phone and push a button and say "run a tsunamis coming" and my phone contacts all the phones all around the resort where I'm staying which in turn contact all the phone's a mile inland and everybody starts running not just the people who can see the wave. Would that be cool?
I want basically a virtual megaphone, but here's a "why do I need blockchain?" there's a really good answer to this, I can't build this right now, because if everybody had a real megaphone in real life you'd have problems with people using it irresponsibly, wouldn't you?
So there's a trust problem, I can use blockchain to require people to put stake, or put their identity in escrow against their responsible behavior. So that a person can say, when it's a life-or-death situation, "I need an EpiPen right now!"
I'm willing to you know have a hundred dollars on the line or I'm willing to have my identity disclosed if I am shown to use that irresponsibly and that protocol can hook back to the blockchain as a basis for that trust but most of everything that's happening is all out on the edge.
you can see some of the other ones, you know, "my child is lost at Disneyland," or "I'm desperate to get on this plane as somebody in this line willing to send me to sell me their plane ticket 4000 euros?"
any of these kinds of things could be done with this kind of protocol, and you would just need peer-to-peer communication in your app. Or you could have the app go back to the cloud and talk to other apps through the cloud, if you needed to.
that would be more centralized but anyway there's some roles in this a speaker a listener and a relay so you could have an app and a person could talk through your app to another phone that was close to you and so the word would spread right if anybody's interested there's a link to the concept doc when you download the slides you can go read more about that protocol
## Call to Action [**^**](#contents)
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/xLHfZ7b.png"/>
I hope that I haven't gone too too deep, I've tried to stay really high-level and I hope that I've been general enough that even if you're not in the Indy space, the identity space, you're thinking a little bit to yourself yeah maybe there's some ways that I'm taking for granted
that we need to use the blockchain for something... and maybe I should think from the other direction instead start thinking about the problem as an edge protocol problem and then say how do I sprinkle the the magic pixie dust a blockchain just enough to get the properties of trust or the constraints that I need
what I've found is that this is a very liberating experience. Two and a half years in, a lot of the problems that I initially thought were really yucky, I'm now thinking, "well if I flip it on its head I can get what I need to and I
don't have the performance problem or I don't have the scaling problem or I don't have the centralization and trust problem or the regulatory problem.
So I want to encourage you to do that. Think in terms of the edge, with a blockchain as a useful foundation that you can refer to but not necessarily as the place where it all happens. You don't have to compute everything in a smart contract.
there are some problems that you must use blockchain for but I'm just saying use it wisely, and not just peanut butter spread it on everything.
I would love to get some people here to work with me on this peer did method I think it's a very high value for the identity space that's one specific to my area of expertise so with that I'll go back and demo something if you want or we can go into QA I think we got about ten minutes
left which is good
## Q&A [**^**](#contents)
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/HNmcUfN.png"/>
I was trying hard to not go till the very last second well it doesn't necessarily have to be a person but some entity on the edge yeah and I'm really using the term edge of course is really vague but what I mean by it mostly is it's not the thing in the center of the architecture diagram okay and then the second question the concept of the micro ledger is there any concept of persisting the final values of the micro ledger onto a blockchain yeah so this is if I go back to let's see the notion of anchoring something on a blockchain a number of people in industry are exploring different ways to do that and one of the things you could anchor on a blockchain is a micro ledger so if you needed to prove for example to a third party let's say Alice and Bob are interacting and it's it's a private personal relationship but let's say Bob doesn't fully trust Alice and maybe he's afraid that alice is gonna steal all of his cool music for his next album even because he's been sharing it with her so
he goes and he anchors some things on
the blockchain to provide evidence so
that if anybody ever you know if there's
ever an argument there's a third party
that's a witness that kind of a thing
and there's other kinds of use cases
like that too
hi so obviously it's a communication
protocol so I'm wondering if there was
any thoughts about communication
recording or if it could be useful in
any way I know there have been papers
for TLS communication recording but
obviously it's not easy to do at this
point with TLS and HTTPS so is there any
ideas about communication recording
between the agents or da DS and how it
could be possibly useful so that's an
interesting question I used to work at
Blue Coat which makes a line of products
actually blue coats been acquired by
Symantec so if you look this up now
online you're gonna have to look under
Symantec but anyway blue coat makes a
made a product called an SSL visibility
appliance and what it is is a
deliberately constructed
man-in-the-middle attack on a TLS
session so an enterprise does some fancy
magic with certificates to make it so
that when you inside the enterprise talk
to somebody outside the enterprise that
appliance catches the traffic and it man
in the Middle's both of you neither side
can tell that there's this thing in the
middle and the whole point of it is make
the TLS channel visible so that the
enterprise can look for malware that's
coming into the environment and stuff
like that so where I'm going with this
is that same kind of technique could be
used in agent to agent communication
however you would have to get the
consent of both ends of the conversation
you don't have the ability like you do
in an enterprise to simply say well
every browser in our enterprise is going
to accept this certificate authority
therefore nobody's going to get any
warnings when they click and and stuff
like that so self sovereign identity
technologies provide a protection
against that kind of sniffing happening
invisibly but it could be done and the
old the other thing I was going to say
is there's also a hype
a proposal about message tracing this is
cooperative voluntary message tracing
where people are trying to troubleshoot
a complex interaction and they say hey
please tell me when you get this message
and forward it on so that I can see
what's happening parties don't have to
follow it and but it's somewhat related
to recording so I I guess I can only
think of two those two comments about
the recording concept maybe we can talk
some more after Danny I actually have a
follow-up question and what what
happened here so I'm sure you're
familiar with signal in signal low using
a double ratchet it's right in Triple D
filmin and they create that end-to-end
encryption so how does this really
different when it comes to peer-to-peer
and then just creating that encryption
because you just mentioned that if
you're going to man in the middle attack
I'm quite familiar with what Bluecoat
does I work at Symantec as well so you
have access to the private key you are
able to record a session and then you're
able to replay it
so basically acting as a proxy so how
does this does not apply in this
scenario because if I'm able to actually
sit in between let's say I hold the
network and then I compromise one of the
parties then this is basically just a
broken channel well first of all indie
communication there's a this has not
been implemented but the hype has been
accepted is adopting signals double
ratchet algorithm so forward secrecy and
so forth is a property of the
communication channel the same way it
would be with signal the did method spec
that I talked about here one of the key
characteristics that it has is that when
you created did you must create it by
deriving it from the public key of a key
pair that exists and the reason that
that requirement exists is because you
don't want if you had it if you did well
let me take you down a different path if
if you started a D ID as just like let's
say some UUID and then later you
associated it with keys what could
happen is you could start it and a
person who's proactive and malicious
could notice what your D ID is
but you haven't asserted keys and jump
in and create the kind of man in a
middle situation that we're really
worried about here but because DIDS
require you to derive the thing from the
key the the did value from the key there
is no point in time where the creator of
the did is vulnerable to the man in the
middle attack that's only a partial
answer to your question let's talk about
it after yeah I had yet another
follow-up on this thread so the ietf has
a existing internet standard called the
host identity protocol and it does
exactly the same thing the intention
there is because right now in networks
there's the IP address is the identity
but this is not verifiable so they made
this protocol with the intention that it
existed to be compatible with the
Internet's tcp/ip stack so there is no
tie to and etherion network or a hyper
ledger implementation it's just part of
the general Internet can you give me
some context as to why this is existing
separate from that and we don't just use
the host identity protocol existing on
the internet already so that's a great
question there's several different
answers that are all kind of related
that kind of add up the first thing is
that this communication mechanism has to
work on things besides the Internet
so not everything has IP addresses and
still we have to be able to communicate
we certainly live in a highly IP centric
world but there's plenty of use cases
that are outside that the second thing
is that like with certificates my
understanding of the host identity
technology is that it focuses on servers
now of course it could be used for
clients and stuff too but TLS in general
even though it has
the option of identifying both parties
is almost a hundred percent used to
identify only the server side of an
interaction so when you want to identify
the client side what do you do you have
this great channel but you don't use
certificates you have an entirely
different mechanism which is
browser-based sessions and cookies and
all this other stuff to identify the
other party you log in you present some
credentials and I think the same kind of
phenomenon maybe is undermining some of
the value of that protocol where it's
it's going to be applied whether the
protocol is written that way or not it's
going to be applied just to identify
things that have a permanent presence
does it does it work for mobile phones
that are changing IP addresses
constantly and that are refreshing their
software and all that other stuff I
don't know enough to know maybe we can
can you share a link with me or
something and I'll go learn some more
about it
state channels are on my list of we're
right here
well state channels yeah the state
channels are an example of this kind of
thinking yeah I have one question
concerning the etch chain protocols as I
understood you you suggest we make small
protocols and different apps but what
when I want to glue them together
because they together build higher-level
protocols would I then try to make the
glue in the blockchain so things that
those protocols need store it there or
would I define let's say super H J chain
protocol
well yeah protocols are one of those
things that can be understood at there's
there's lower level ones and higher
level ones just like there's the OSI
stack and so forth in networking and you
can combine logical entities into bigger
constructs to make higher-level
protocols something that you said kind
of gets at this slide that I skipped
over one of the things that's different
between DAPs and edge chain protocols is
that edge chain protocols there there's
no set of apps that you have to have you
just need to have software that is
capable of playing all of the roles in
your protocol and it could be written by
ten different people and there could be
ten different providers of one of the
roles if you wanted right so think about
like buying a house we don't have only
one place that you go to get all the the
actors in the buy a house protocol and
yet DAPs are typically written where you
write a DAP that implements the whole
thing and so that's a little bit of a
paradigm shift
yeah yeah yeah
theirs doesn't have to be implemented on
server so it's not exactly micro
services but it's like that in the sense
that it's a bunch of little granular
things hi thanks this was really
interesting I was going to offer a bit
of nitpicking for the megaphone protocol
I think if you don't take in
consideration economic pressure
I think the protocol probably fall apart
because some people will be in such
situations that they'll be willing to
trade what they consider their important
identity to spam people nearby and
there'll be markets that will probably
show up saying hey if you can if you do
this for us we'll give you some money
and people might burn through their
identity because they don't see the
value of it or maybe they will try and
stack up multiple identities as much as
they can
obviously we we would expect this the
product or the system the overall
underlying self sovereign identity
system not to allow that but I think if
you don't count factor in economic
pressures especially for those of us who
are very poor like you won't be able to
expect some of the ways that the
protocol will be manipulated
that's good comment the the concept
document includes the notion that
megaphones have a volume and you can
select the volume if you say look I'm
tired and hungry and I'm a mom in an
airport and I have a baby and I need to
change the baby's diaper and I forgot a
diaper that's not a life-threatening
crisis so you don't need
life-threatening volume and so there's
probably different staking for different
levels of volume but I think there's
still you're right that there's
potential for abuse which is maybe one
of the reasons that nobody's been
working on it yet
okay well I think we should declare the
the session over and I'll be up here if
anybody wants to ask more questions a
couple of you asked me questions that I
want to get some more information about
if you just come and talk to me that'd
be great and thanks for your attention I
appreciate it

[John Jordan](https://twitter.com/jljordan42), Province of British Columbia & [Stephen Curran](https://twitter.com/scurranC3I), [CloudCompass Computing](https://cloudcompass.ca/)
Learn about the Province of British Columbia's experience deploying the first Hyperledger Indy based production ecosystem.
The [Verifiable Organizations Network](https://vonx.io) (VON) enables governments and organizations to exchange data in trustworthy ways based on open standards and technology.
VON's founding members are governments who are, by law, trusted issuers of data about organizations. The Province of British Columbia, Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada have come together to create the initial services needed to establish VON.
VON's founders have delivered new Indy-based open source components which form VON's backbone. [TheOrgBook](https://orgbook.gov.bc.ca/) is a publicly accessible repository of [verifiable claims](https://w3c.github.io/webpayments-ig/VCTF/charter/faq.html) about organizations. VON-X enables services to verify and issue credentials.
We present the Why, What and How including our strategy for bootstrapping VON using a two-sided market strategy.

## Introduction [**^**](#contents)
My name is John Jordan and I come from the province of British Columbia in Canada. This is my colleague Steven Curran we work together on this project.
I guess I'll just get started, and we'll have some slides, a demo, we should have some time for some questions
Ian is also here, one of our developers as well, he's a hyper ledger future developer. What we're gonna talk about today is what we're doing in the government of British Columbia, together with some of our peer provinces in the country — about how we're trying to solve some very long-standing difficult problems.
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/bf3lLTq.png"/>
>**we're gonna focus on business services today and talk about how the government can start to do the things that it does today in paper**, which it underpins the economy.
>
>**money exists because the government says so businesses exist because the government registers them and allows them to operate** and the laws and so forth of the of the government allow commerce to occur
>
>**but we have no way of doing that in the digital economy right now** there's no business models in the digital economy other than basically buying stuff and getting your data exploited for advertising. so if you have a Visa card you're in.
>
>otherwise there's no other really interesting transactions going on and I think big part of that is because **we don't have any way of extending the trust of government into the digital realm in a way that is trustworthy**
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/BVVoGaA.png"/>
so we're going to talk about that this is our fun slide this is where we're from Canada with a variety of animals quite a lot of space we come from Victoria BC I norm I actually grew up in Ottawa which is around the beaver and people think that's kind of humorous but so there you go that's her that's
her
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/UN0dT5b.png"/>
I also want to acknowledge that **I do all this work with [Carol Prest](https://www.linkedin.com/in/carol-prest-aa34b258/)** who is the registrar for BCS so I've been there for a couple years and **from day one we've been working together exploring how can we use the registry data as the foundational data for doing business.**
Unfortunately she's not available she's in India right now, but having this business partnership and having her in her organization behind this, and having the discipline of trying to **solve problems for business people** is what is making this project really fun and also useful
## Solving problems [**^**](#contents)
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/MrIep94.png"/>
We're gonna focus on a problem here which is **how do we help small business** we have sort of a an example of Mary's bakery but **it could be any kind of business** construction mining whatever it is and the problem is that these business people are very excited about starting a business is an exciting time in life but they don't realize sometimes that **they have quite a lot of obligations that they must fill for government**
We have examples where our research teams have gone out and talked to restauranteurs and they have released a building and so forth it's the perfect spot everything is great **and then they realize oh I've got six months of permits and licenses to do because we had to bring it up to building code and they didn't realize this and then there's all these dependencies and they weren't ready to fund that building for six months** so those are like real stories **we'd like to try and minimize that kind of stuff** because we want them to start their businesses and grow.
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/FxeKL2D.png"/>
>you know the path is also very meandering and it can be in multiple different media you can be faxing you could be email you could be online you're in person and so forth.
>
>**All of this is a very difficult both for the business people but also on the government side**. We are also in different places verifying data all the time: who are you? whos business are you representing? Are you authorized to represent the businesses?
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/sIiI6Ni.png"/>
In the most complicated cases, for liquor and so forth, shareholders and employees have **criminal background checks.** They make sure that nobody owns more than 8 stores that sells liquor, and can take up to a year so.
## Collaboration [**^**](#contents)
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/GM9FxgX.png"/>
We're collaborating with a couple of other jurisdictions. We're working with a team in **Ontario** and a
team **in the Government of Canada**, where I used to work, **The Procurement Agency**.
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/oPuhVyP.png"/>
**When we say working together, we're actually writing code together**. There's no MOUs, no steering committees, no work groups. They have a couple devs and the business person, we have a couple of devs and a business person. We sprint together, write code.
All this stuff we're going to show you today has been co-developed, and significant portions have been done by each of the groups
## Verifiable Proofs [**^**](#contents)
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/0MS4yEs.png">
This is the journey that we'd like to enable, it's a journey that we know well. The government gives you something, you take that something to another institution, you use it to prove something and you get and you get the outcome.
In this case it's the incorporation information that's given to Mary, she goes to the bank and she can open a bank account. Turns out that's a very general pattern, and this is the pattern that we see in the verifiable credentials realm.
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/FNpnmLg.png"/>
So we have this pattern of: **holder** which *is a person or a business* but a business can't really hold something on their own. They have to have people holding it on behalf of the business.
They presented to a verifier, which is earlier in the workflow, the verifier says bring your list of things in and prove to me who you are, and you have various permits and licenses and so forth. You then get to enter their form which is usually not that pleasant, and then you are issued something which you hold.
**This is the pattern that we're very familiar with.**
We're sitting with a wallet full of these things. I have bank cards and identity cards and so forth and we're gonna explore how we can do that.
When we discovered that **we were pretty excited** it was about a year ago that **we stumbled across Hyperledger Indy** after having done a little bit of work with fabric
So it was just Stephen and I on the team and we thought it looked promising, that there was this pattern here we could solve some of these hard problems we've been working on for years but we realized we didn't have any of the software for different organizations or people.
## Chicken-or-Egg Dilemma [**^**](#contents)
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/hHn9SLm.png"/>
Somebody mentioned it this morning, the classic chicken and egg problem: we don't have any software out there that we can issue to our issuers, don't have software to issue. We realized, in this case government is a little bit special, which I don't like to say very often.
It turns out our core business is issuing that's what we do every service we have is pretty much an issuer so we thought: what if we could give the services that we are dealing with in the business realm, somewhere to issue to?
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/9IHbEkL.png"/>
We purposely picked business realm because if we're dealing with business data we're not triggering all the personal identifiable information problems. In the BC we call it FoIT, the Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Protection Act. When you get into personal data, of course it triggers all of that which, is good but makes it very complicated to play with new technologies.
## The Org Book [**^**](#contents)
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/6KxuQM9.png"/>
We just deal with open business data right now and we thought: what if we could create something where these issuers could issue data to? and it would be a public thing, and we call that **The Org Book.**
This is a bootstrapping technique that we're copying from Facebook. We're just playing with one side of the market. **We're gonna deal with the supply side: the issuers of credentials, more commonly known as permits and licenses.**
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/o5KphnK.png"/>
Because they're public and because they're open we can create this directory of searchable verifiable data and we can build software for the issuers.
Our goal was how can we make it as easy as possible for existing services to be able to issue their credentials to this OrgBook starting with the foundational data of the registry, and we're going to show you that.
**When we started writing this code built on top of Hyperledger Indy we realized that there could be intermediate benefits.**
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/voKqoaF.png"/>
So first there's some public good, and the searching and finding of data will show you that. It turns out we can also create [api's](https://bcgov.github.io/MyGovBC-notification-server/docs/api-overview/) to allow that data to be searchable, and we created an [enterprise agent](https://github.com/bcgov/von_agent) for services to verify the data in The Org Book.
So later when businesses have their own services for holding verifiable credentials, our issuers are ready.
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/AdYRiK9.png"/>
## BC Gov Org Book [**^**](#contents)
Now I'm gonna hand it over to Stephen. This is what The Org Book looks like in British Columbia, so there's two instances and we'll show you them both but **this is the [British Columbia Org Book](https://orgbook.gov.bc.ca/en/home) and it's basically a kind of a Yelp type site.**
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/nsurhhx.png"/>
**we've got five hundred twenty-five thousand active legal entities in British Columbia every one of them has a record in here** they have the credentials that the registries have issued to them
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/ngfzaPh.png"/>
Let's do a search we're into chocolate because we're in Switzerland so we'll talk about a Vancouver Island chocolatier. Purdy's chocolates, we can take a look at them. Search capability names we've got other capabilities for what searches we can provide ways to filter and things. When we get into it, we can see some information that the registry publishes, so previously registered.
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/0mcU9ru.png"/>
**9:41** This is all public data, this is all open data. This is exactly what they hang on their walls inside the restaurant and things like that, there's really no place in BC it is actually published but in a very obscure places, very difficult to find. We've actually, as a byproduct of doing this exercise, created a pretty useful facility for citizens to use to find businesses, so we can take a look at them.
## Verifiable Credentials [**^**](#contents)
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/yMMHV01.png"/>
this one has a couple of credentials they actually have a corporate entity and then a couple of names they do business under so [they've got several credentials](https://orgbook.gov.bc.ca/en/organization/BC0057742/cred/1902355) we can see a timeline of when they've got the different credentials so we can take a look at those in it and as the history builds up we haven't loaded all the history of all BC companies yet some of that is on paper which is going to be more challenging but that's that's not for us to worry about but we can load them up so if we can look at our registration we can see an active credential
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/vmZx8py.png"/>
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/umWHJO7.png"/>
so this is what a credential looks like online basically we present it with the key data that a person might be interested in and then at the bottom we can actually go [into the credential](https://orgbook.gov.bc.ca/en/organization/BC0057742/cred/1902355/verify) from an Hyperledger Indy perspective
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/l3LCLnu.png"/>
so this is the schema if you as they call it on the one side the populated data for this particular version of the
credential and then down below we get some really fun stuff
this allows any citizen to go and do the cryptography on
paper themselves to prove that this is a proven credential yeah and we say verified see the check up there that's
the that's the key
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/47eUSiL.png"/>
## Production Network—Live 9-10-18 [**^**](#contents)
okay I think that's most of what we wanted to show so the idea here that we wanted to talk about a little bit was the title of this, **this is a production system, we've been live since the 10th of September**
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/cHws3Sb.png"/>
there's a little story there so let's go back to the home page and let me talk about a couple of things there the current statistics those are actual statistics we actually recreated the credentials and loaded them this week
so that's why **2.6 million were issued this week** we can do that the first weekend in September when we loaded it, it took 10 days to load the credentials so that kind of wasn't too good.
**we had Ontario coming behind us with about five times as many credentials** so we were a little nervous and did a couple of sprints to scale up its capabilities
BCGov, which has [the developers exchange](https://bcdevexchange.org/), is a pretty progressive environment for developing code. We've got a Red Hat open shift [kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/) based platform
so basically we were able to use the capabilities of that platform to just spin up other instances and be able to scale up the the speed of loading and things like that so we got up to
we're now about 12 hours to load the full data set so we're creating issuing and holding about 2600 credentials per minute so decent speed it's kind of weird because we are a single holder for all of these organizations these don't the organizations don't have their own wallet and the first vision and the first thing that Indy wanted to support was the idea of a person having a wallet
so the database behind it was not the most scalable solution out of the box so the next thing we did as well to to make it scalable was to implement say an enterprise-grade wallet with Postgres in was the developer on that and we were pleased that yesterday his code was merged into the Indy SDK repo so it's now officially hyperledger code, which is kind of cool. So that's a contribution we've made to the to the ecosystem in Hyperledger Indy.
## General Purpose [**^**](#contents)
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/rrQSzsd.png"/>
So one of the things you're seeing, is this is a BC site, but it's really very generic so what we've tried to do is make it completely agnostic of what the actual credentials that will be loaded in.
We do have the concept that it's a an organization so we've got names, we have addresses, the concept of addresses, we have the concept of credential types, we have the concept of dates in there... but other than that the structure is whatever the issuer happens to issue so, it's very flexible for others to use.
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/sewb1Aq.png">
so that search that's up there is you know it was a decent amount of work uses solar and and and so on but is very generic so that other entities other jurisdictions can take this and basically spin up their own instance of this relatively easily using this code and be able to take advantage of the loading the naming the searching the display all of this is flexible and localized localizable
## Ontario Org Book [**^**](#contents)
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/PMpdfJ8.png"/>
let's take a look at the Ontario one so [The Ontario Org Book](https://www.von.gov.on.ca/) looks quite different from BCS obviously the search panel is the same they have different things they want to show and what they they don't want to show
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/wfCQNDT.png"/>
so for example in Ontario they didn't want to show the structure of a company they actually have a contract that charges for that so they weren't able to do that through this
so every entity and every doing business as is a separate entity on this so because we were building with multiple jurisdictions in mind right
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/L97WeSB.png"/>
from the start we've we built it to be pretty flexible and so you're able to construct it on your own have your own skinning language support there's multiple language support is in there built in already I think those were the main things
## Come to our Workshop [**^**](#contents)
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/GwrN03q.png"/>
the two more things that I wanted to touch on: **come to our workshop on Friday and Saturday** and what we're actually doing is building out issuers and verifiers
* [Hands-On with Verifiable Organizations Network - Part 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5TB-goL3_o&list=PL0MZ85B_96CGkWnEvdPy5sB4VRcH2XWuP&index=108)
* [Hands-On with Verifiable Organizations Network - Part 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-lM2hNq1TI&list=PL0MZ85B_96CGkWnEvdPy5sB4VRcH2XWuP&index=107)
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/PE065NM.png"/>
So this is The Org Book, the central piece. What really is important is there's an API behind all this that a issuer of permits can use to learn about the company to fetch the credentials that are already there and have them proven and then issue credentials back to the org book.
A key part of this is that being easily able to extend this to many more permits and licensing providers could be within the government which we're working with.
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/cdI0NGO.png"/>
almost every project team we talked to says "oh we can use that!" so we're building that out and trying to make that as easy as possible so our workshop on Friday involves building an issue or verifier and actually deploying it out so you can create your issue your own credentials
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/QyOUf4G.png"/>
## Bootstrapping Mechanism [**^**](#contents)
the other side of it that we think is going to be really important is well this is a bootstrapping mechanism we've realized there can be some life to this in that we're going to create we're going to be creating a pub sub subscription service basically so that a business that gets a credential and verifies it can subscribe to that credential in the future and get notified when it changes
so a big challenge in all government organizations is this ability to understand when things change and we think this can be a super light way for a business to get notified that:
"hey these two businesses just merged they've started a new entity", "those two entities no longer exist they've been dissolved in this new entity exists you should know that" and
so that webhook capability will just whatever you're subscribed to when when our credential changes we can notify you that it happened and then you can dig in to figure out how that affects your permit and licensing service
## dFlow [**^**](#contents)
the other piece that we'll show is thing called decentralized flow - [dFlow](https://dflow.orgbook.gov.bc.ca)
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/a8WzejN.png"/>
so do you wanna go to that okay spicy wings we're gonna look at Spicy Wings. This is our dev site, this is just new, that we're playing with. This is a company that's got four different credentials from different organizations.
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/jUyJEIk.png"/>
They've got a registration a PST that's a tax number from the province, a clearance letter for workman's compensation for a worker's insurance, and a business license from a from an entity from a municipality.
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/2fQTCap.png"/>
So with [dFlow](https://dflow.orgbook.gov.bc.ca) what we can do is basically what you're saying is I have a goal as a businessman I have a goal that I want a business license in the city of Surrey and it's going to be for a restaurant what have I got to do to accomplish that what other things do I need and
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/YSIIWLQ.png"/>
what we've built here is a [dynamic workflow](https://github.com/bcgov/dFlow) that starts with the one you want I want a business license, and says "what are the prerequisites for getting a business license?" well that's been encaptured in the proof requests that the business requires before it will issue you the credential that they have to offer.
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/PpzN2E9.png"/>
**19:34** so we can look at that proof require and then iteratively go back to that proof request and walk back a step and walk back a step all the way back until we get to the starting point and
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/XQK4hH3.png"/>
now we can display dynamically what does that company need in order to get a business licencse there their goal and then what have they already got that allows them to proceed
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/FvA5vMU.png"/>
so basically this company the ones in blue they already have and they can take a look at it the ones in yellow they're able to acquire now because they have all the prerequisites they haven't got it yet but they have the prerequisites for it and the ones in red they don't have the prerequisites they're just going to get rejected so no need to start in on those already
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/Pmtg8km.png"/>
the nice thing about this is all of these entities that are issuing credentials that are issuing permits and licenses don't have to know the whole journey that that's really hard to figure out all they have to know is what their prerequisites are and as soon as they express those in the form of a proof request we can dynamically walk that chain and figure out what what else they need compare that with what's in their wallet what credentials they already have and now we can give them a picture of where they are all right if we got a minute
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/ZdQrDU3.png"/>
**21:15** one of the things we're going to do in the workshop is in spinning up your issue or verifier is you'll have to connect to and create ended transactions on Indy blockchain on a distributed ledger
so this is a tool we created to be able to browse the network so we can look at in this case the four node network that we've got running we can look at the status of it
**21:50** we can do some operations like look at the Genesis transaction but we can also dig in and look at what are the transactions that actually exist on the ledger at this time
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/J6I6GkD.png"/>
we can do some searching for things and find all the ones that have tax in the name we can search by types of in this case we're looking for schema
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/QfgNVr1.png"/>
so this gives you a really good way of actually being able to see what is on the ledger you know get an idea as you register an issue or verifier take a look at what's there
so that's kind of a preview of the site and the ideas that have been emerging as a result of our work but there's a little bit more
## Just the First Step [**^**](#contents)
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/kO6nCGy.png"/>
**22:55** one of the things that we're trying to do is, it's helpful for BC businesses but BC businesses do business all around the world and we want our businesses to be able to interact digitally with everybody else and like Steven mentioned it's not just businesses but it's professionals and so forth
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/8tyRlCK.png"/>
this model could work for professional engineering societies medical societies other kinds of things that have public accreditation that you need to check on
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/3O2CKLa.png"/>
**23:27** so we have this idea where we think The Org Book helps us establish our local neighborhood. businesses are gaining their credentials and and that's kind of building up our local ecosystem
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/aYIYVha.png"/>
That makes it easier for us to help them find their way like we just demonstrated because each of these issuers are going to automatically be able to express digitally the preconditions that are necessary for them to be able to allow you into their service and an issue a new permit/
## Indy Catalyst [**^**](#contents)
We think that's pretty pretty cool and as a result of this learning we've we've come up with this generalized model that has been accepted as a sub project of Indy.
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/p8BME5z.png"/>
We're calling that [Indy Catalyst](https://github.com/bcgov/indy-catalyst) because this is sort of a bootstrapping capability, and that'll comprised of the code-behind [The Org Book](https://github.com/bcgov/TheOrgBook) in a more generalized fashion, and the code behind the issuer verifier service that we've built which we call [von-X](https://github.com/PSPC-SPAC-buyandsell/von-x) but we'll give some other sub named as an Indy Catalyst component.
## Serving the Public [**^**](#contents)
The big reason behind this is because I work for the government of BC, we're not a software development agency, were serving the public.
We want this to be part of a global capability, and
having a sustainable set of software in a well governed organization like Hyperledger, the Linux Foundation, we think is a good way to go.
**24:50**
We think that as these neighborhoods grow, hopefully well become will create what we call the verifiable organization Network
**25:01**
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/ANXXvan.png"/>
so this is sort of a concept where if you can use these kinds of tools and it doesn't have to be Hyperledger Indy it could be any system that is decentralized identifier—verifiable credential compliant
you'll be able to exchange verifiable data amongst businesses and that is really what we want to be able to do it's nice that they could come and do business with us like get the things they need but what's really more important is it that they transact amongst themselves that's what the economy lives.
That's the idea of the Verifiable Organisation Network and the coming code that we'll call a Hyperledger Indy Catalyst, so that is our talk for now.
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/dbHSiO7.png"/>
## Q&A [**^**](#contents)
**25:40** as Steven mentioned **we're having a workshop Friday and Saturday morning** and Ian and Steven and I'll do my best to help will walk you through actually creating an issue we're
creating schemas and doing your own decentralized workflow example.
**we're happy to take questions** just wanted to check any **prerequesites for the workshop**, any required software components to be installed before hand:
>you need a browser and you need a **docker hub ID** but you know you could do that while you're there yeah so the prerequisites are a docker hub ID and then everything else can be done in a browser and we've got all the guidance and so on but you don't need anything else I don't think about **Chrome** is ideal right chrome is probably the best we're using a tool called play with docker so you don't have to install anything on your machine it's super cool I promise no biometrics
so you did mention the verifiable claim and you you implied standards and I just want to confirm with the audience here because we had a side discussion.
>it's w3c compliant verifiable claims and then and so I don't want to ask about the the other adjuncts that the registrar and the verifier because you talk about those concepts but I'm trying to understand what standards you use or what you're developing on your own and what standards apply specifically the registrar?
right so right now it's Hyperledger Indy version of things but as they progress they'll they'll create the ID doc specs and the end verifiable credential base
but that's still emerging right in terms of how the agents communicate we're actually contributing quite a bit
to sort of this agent agent protocol and that's being done in the open as well right now in this sort of Hyperledger
Indy working groups but we want interoperability
we'd like our citizens to have a choice so they could use a DID method of their choice they could use software of their choice when it gets to personal data or this data we think if that's where the marketplace will provide options for citizens and businesses like the holder software so whatever standards emerge we would want to support those and we're helping shape some of those as well so
there isn't a specific standard for the agent agent protocol but it's a collaboration with the decentralized identity foundation and the w3c folks and the hyper ledger folks yeah one of the things we thought about as John alluded to early in the talk was oh we're gonna build this thing in our organizations they're gonna use our agent and they're gonna talk to our issuers and verifiers and we're gonna build all that stuff and then we realize no this is not what we should be doing we shouldn't be in the business of doing that we need to be in the business of issuing credentials
so we have to build software for that we need to make do it in a way that allows them to change as little as they need to we don't want them to have to read recreate their world we want them to just be an adjunct on just like they use a printer to print the verified credential the permit or the license so they can hang it on the wall we just want them to stamp out a digital version of that that's signed cryptographically right and
one of the things I say about that is like so this piece of software that we've been we sort of we take it for granted now but everything we've done is in the open every line of code every presentation every ticket it's all in github so it's all patchy
I mentioned we're contributing to the Hyperledger thing but sort of a line I say is like if your system can produce a CSV of your permit or license data then you're in our box we'll take care of the rest
you'll learn on the workshop that it's just an hour to to configure that thing to make it work for you and and that's how much work it takes kind of thing
we're trying to make it as easy as possible because we're from government we know like it's basically impossible to do IT things so we wanted to like you know make that as simple as possible
you have the concept of in this case the org book is the wallet right, and the issuers issued to it but it'll be using the same protocols in the future to issue two individual wallets which is the demand side right that sort of goes closely to the question I was going to ask
which is one of the points of blockchain is usually to have nodes under control of multiple entities where are the actual nodes right now from what I understand they're all under the control of the BC government so could there be like variances like an NGO holding onto one of the nodes, the production systems using the sovereign network to store the DID
there's a DID and a schema and a clerk read that you know credential definition and yeah on there but again in theory that could be another DID Network it's just there
aren't any other DID networks
so we're not gonna run the network we don't want to be running node but we're not running the network um the the thing you remember with verifiable credentials is they don't go on the ledger so none of the data about the organization's or about individuals goes on the ledger it all goes into a wallet
the weird thing we are doing is we've got this community wallet concept but once people have their own wallet we'll be issuing to their wallet directly we won't we may continue to issue to our own community wallet but for public credentials but for any other for the credentials once they have a wallet will be issuing to that wallet and they will be able to use it wherever they need to use it in whatever jurisdiction has systems that allow it
we are doing some collaboration with some folks from spark Telecom New Zealand that have a pretty nice implementation and we're using that as an opportunity to develop the early version of the agent agent protocol that's generalized
so as soon as we get code that map we had originally that just had Ontario and and Ottawa on it will expand to include New Zealand so we're looking forward to that and others
the schema you used for business registration is something that came from a standard about business registration or Ontario's doing the same one so that you guys just like get together in a darkroom and created or New Zealand I mean what happens with that
it's a schema that we co-created with Canada and Ontario
but we also looked at like standards in Canada that have evolved like I've been in this business for very it's not an ISO no no no there isn't such a thing in the world for that for businesses other than like maybe schema.org but it's
really not sufficient yeah so we evolved it together and so far
it's working you know
it's a bit tricky to get the minimal set but but again this helped with having multiple jurisdictions involved so we had a first, we did Ontario and we went wait this isn't gonna work we don't want that we're both Canadian entities we should be able to figure that out and that worked pretty well and then the other side of it was
once we got into things like the the doing business as well that's totally uncharted territory no not really yeah been done and we came up with something, Ontario came up with something even better, and we balance back and forth to figure out what a real
it's actually a relationship credential so we can have it point both ways the interesting thing there the thought process was a lot around we originally started oh you know how is The Org Book gonna show this and all that then we realized no that's not the right thinking what the thinking is is what is the business gonna want to do with this
what do they have to prove to somebody else and that's how you look at how how to build a credential is you stick it in the wallet of a business in this case or a person and figure out okay they've got to prove this to show that they're a
partnership to the bank how are they gonna do that and
that's the sort of mindset we had in building credentials so we built this so that's where the relationship credential came from which is I was very happy about because it's basically the edge in a graph so I'm terminal like that idea
the registration credentials are the nodes and this is a credential that demonstrates a linkage between the nodes of a knowning doing businesses name but that that those labels could be changed to is a director or as a beneficiary or any kind of relationship can be modeled this way between two things and so that generalizes the model to basically whatever you want which also gives it interesting properties in terms of visualization and analysis and relationship recommendation engines and that kind of stuff so it was fun hospital systems
we're gonna be talking with man Revere you know that's what an interesting thing is that you know like if you look at you know College of Physicians and Surgeons and other kind of public statements my you know engineering societies they publish these things already so they could have a version of this and then that just becomes part of the overall ecosystem so that you can for example have a prescription issued by a doctor to patient that patient brings the prescription to a pharmacy the pharmacy asks proof but at the same time can look at that credential say oh I'm gonna look up that doctor in this in the public you know verify in public doc hub or whatever the heck they call it and and they can subscribe to those things too so they can always know if that doctor currently licensed maybe that doctor has a restriction on the kinds of things they can prescribe so I think it's like it's a it's complementary to the peer-to-peer transaction when you have these public sort of hubs of trusted data we don't have them loaded today now like you come to the workshop we could
build another interesting one we're looking at is evident evidence so another function and the provincial
government is mining inspections things
like this so inspectors go out into the field out like offline and they are recording videos taking pictures making
notes and so forth and they would like to be able to be used data that they gather five you ten years from now and
be able to answer the question definitively it was this person using this device on this place at this time
and it data was unaltered well that's a credential you could have their phone issue a credential to an internal hub of
like this and you know ten years from now when there's a court case they can use that you can just ask for a proof
from it and at that point we know that it's unaltered and and we know who it was and we know what version it was and
what chunk of binary data was hashed in there
so we had to experiment with that that could be quite an interesting matter all right we're just about done any other
questions or great well hopefully some of you will come for a workshop and thanks for your time

## Unofficial Transcripts
I think I've arranged all of the identity related talks in the previous section, except for the following two.
For my own convinience, and for anyone else who would like to browse the text, I've worked on the transcripts a bit to make the content easier to reference.

## Losing Control Over our Personal Information
![](https://i.imgur.com/ESDJa4P.png)
* [Security without Identification: Transaction Systems to Make Big Brother Obsolete](https://www.cs.ru.nl/~jhh/pub/secsem/chaum1985bigbrother.pdf) - David Chaum, 1985.
* The large-scale automated transaction systems of the near future can be designed to protect the privacy and maintain the security of both individuals and organizations.
> Computerization is robbing individuals of the ability to monitor and control the ways information about them is used. As organizations in both the private and the public sectors routinely exchange such informa- tion, individ.uals have no way of knowing if the information is inaccurate, obsolete, or otherwise inap- propriate. The foundation is being laid for a dossier society, in which computers could be used to infer individuals’ life-styles, habits, whereabouts, and asso- ciations from data collected in ordinary consumer transactions. Uncertainty about whether data will re- main secure against abuse by those maintaining or tapping it can have a “chilling effect,” causing people to alter their observable activities. As computerization becomes mclre pervasive, the potential for these prob- lems will grow dramatically.
* [Information Technology and Dataveillance](http://www.rogerclarke.com/DV/CACM88.html) - Roger Clarke, 1988.
> The concept of 'dataveillance' is introduced, and defined as the systematic monitoring of people's actions or communications through the application of information technology. Dataveillance's origins are traced, and an explanation provided as to why it is becoming the dominant means of monitoring individuals and populations.
>
> The paper identifies, classifies and describes the various dataveillance techniques. It then examines the benefits, and especially the dangers, arising from dataveillance. It considers the intrinsic and extrinsic controls that act to keep the application of dataveillance under control, and suggests some appropriate policy measures.

## IDCommons [**^**](#contents)
![](https://i.imgur.com/AOw2oXx.png)
The [Identity Commons](http://wiki.idcommons.net/History) (2001-Present) was originally created by Owen Davis and Andrew Nelson in 2001 to evangelize the creation of a decentralized user-centric identity infrastructure and to address the resulting social trust issues.
* Kaliya Young began working with Identity Commons following June 2004 Planetwork Conference. Working with Social Physics team, led by Paul Trevithick and Mary Ruddy, and included Doc Searls and Phil Windley, they wove a community around user-centric id that came together at the Digital Identity World conference, of 2004.
Resuling in a mailing list:
* [community@lists.idcommons.net](https://lists.idcommons.net/lists/info/community)
> The general community mailing list for Identity Commons. The list is also called the Identity Gang mailing list and was formerly idworkshop at googlegroups.
## Identity Gang [**^**](#contents)
![](http://i.imgur.com/xbfK3EF.png)
* [The original identity gang](https://www.idcommons.org/the-original-identity-gang/)
Doc Searls invited identity leaders to appear on the Gilmore Gang podcast, where the name "Identity Gang" was coined.
At the encouragement of Doc Searls, a number of people began blogging about user-centric identity.
* [The Gillmor Gang - December 31, 2004](http://web.archive.org/web/20130729213722id_/http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/shows/detail394.html) Featuring:

![](https://i.imgur.com/wuvo5BG.png)
IIW participants began the effort towards creating a truly [user centric identity](https://www.networkworld.com/article/2304596/access-control/what-is--user-centric--identity-.html), in contrast to identity solutions whos focus has been fulfilling the needs of the enterprise. The pioneers of decentralized identity have long struggled against the "[identity silo paradox](https://www.zdnet.com/article/the-identity-silo-paradox/)," that while the *identerati* continually work on solutions to break up these silos, the enterprise has had a strong financial incentive to retain them.

## Rebooting the Web Of Trust [**^**](#contents)
In relation to SSI, '[Web of Trust](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust)' is a network of relationships that attest to our identity claims. *Each party attesting to your identity information becomes a strand in your web of trust.*
The first [Rebooting Web of Trust](http://www.WebOfTrust.info)(RWoT) workshop was held during [November 2015](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust); attracting the likes of Vitalik Buterin, Peter Todd, Gregory Maxwell, Joel Dietz, Christopher Allen, and Jon Callas, [according to Andreas Antonopolis](https://news.bitcoin.com/andreas-antonopoulos-case-reputation-identity-systems/).
[That workshop](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/), produced 5 technical white papers:\
[5 WoT-usecases](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust/blob/master/final-documents/satisfying-real-world-use-cases.pdf) • [Decentralized PKI](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust/blob/master/final-documents/dpki.pdf) • [Smart Signatures](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust/blob/master/final-documents/smart-signatures.pdf) • [Creating a New World of Trust](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust/blob/master/final-documents/whats-the-next-step.pdf)
* [Opportunities Created by the Web of Trust for Controlling and Leveraging Personal Data](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot1-sf/blob/master/final-documents/satisfying-real-world-use-cases.pdf)
> "Decentralized systems that are engineered to prevent concentrating power as they grow avoid this. They can in fact increase their credibility as more users provide their assessments as input. Protocols and structures that are distributed and self-sovereign also offer significantly improved robustness, portability, and versatility than conventional centralized or escrowed processes — especially when combined with secure cryptography."
* [Rebranding the Web of Trust](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust/blob/master/final-documents/rebranding-web-of-trust.pdf)
>The Web of Trust is a buzzword for a new model of decentralized self-sovereign identity. It’s a phrase that dates back almost twenty-five years, the classic definition derives from PGP [...] the vibrant blockchain community is also drawing new attention to the concept we aim to reboot it.
At the end of 2015, the Department of Homeland Security announced that it had funds available for the development of [Blockchain Security and Identity Verification Technologies](https://blog.aniljohn.com/2015/12/federal-gov-funds-for-identity-r-and-d.html).

Evident from the other [whitepapers](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/ID2020DesignWorkshop/blob/master/topics-and-advance-readings/README.md) submitted to the second RWoT Workshop, the DID identifier had begun to emerge:
* [Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Decentralized Identity Management (DIDM)](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/ID2020DesignWorkshop/blob/master/topics-and-advance-readings/DID-Whitepaper.md)
>"Decentralized Identifiers (DID) stored in a permissioned blockchain enable principals to directly control their own identities with cryptographic proofs and secure, addressable network endpoints. DIDs further enable a Decentralized Identity Management (DIDM) infrastructure that will empower people and organizations to securely and confidentially manage and assert their identities."
* [Requirements for DIDs](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/ID2020DesignWorkshop/blob/master/final-documents/requirements-for-dids.pdf)
>"Respect Network is conducting a research project for the [U.S. Department of Homeland Security](https://bravenewcoin.com/insights/u-s-department-of-homeland-security-funds-four-blockchain-companies-developing-new-cyber-security-technology), HSHQDC-16-C-00061, to analyze the applicability of blockchain technologies to a decentralized identifier system. Our thesis is that blockchains, or more generically distributed ledgers, are a potentially powerful new tool for “identity roots” — the starting points for an Internet identity. However “blockchain identity” may not fully address the core security and privacy principles needed in a complete identity system. In this case DIDs — Decentralized Identifiers rooted on a distributed ledger — may end up being a foundational building block for higher level identity management solutions. -

* [Applying Blockchain to Decentralized Identity](https://www.sbir.gov/sbirsearch/detail/1241097)
> Respect Network will research and develop a decentralized registry and discovery service for Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) to integrate with the public blockchain. DIDs will allow principals to directly control their own identities with cryptographic proofs and secure, addressable network endpoints. DIDs will enable a Decentralized Identity Management (DIDM) infrastructure that will empower people and organizations to securely and confidentially manage and assert their identities. Open standards and established industry protocols will permit principals to selectively disclose identity claims, and to manage their privacy and digital relationships. Respect Network's thesis is that the combination of DIDs and DIDM architecture, using public and/or private blockchains as "identity backbones", can meet traditional information security principles of confidentiality, integrity, availability, non-repudiation and provenance. Further, our approach applies privacy-by-design principles, including user control, selective disclosure of information and pseudonymity.
* [Credentials on Public/Private Linked Ledgers](https://www.sbir.gov/sbirsearch/detail/1241085)
> A wide variety of applications could benefit from combining identity management technology with decentralized ledgers (aka blockchains). However, not every application uses the same data or requires the same consensus or authorization models. While a single solution is unlikely, we assert each application could benefit from a standard, configurable, decentralized ledger with flexible semantics. We will study the feasibility of this concept by building a proof-of-concept Linked Data ledger format and architecture.

## Decentralized Identity Foundation
>A key piece of the decentralized identity equation is how people, organizations, and devices can be identified and located without centralized systems of identifiers (e.g. email addresses). DIF members are actively working on protocols and implementations that enable creation, resolution, and discovery of decentralized identifiers and names across decentralized systems, like blockchains and distributed ledgers.

## /WebOfTrustInfo
>The Web of Trust is a buzzword for a new model of decentralized self-sovereign identity. It’s a phrase that dates back almost twenty-five years, the classic definition derives from PGP.
\#RebootingWebOfTrust holds bi-annual design workshops where many of the ideas in SSI\DID were formed.
In advance of each workshop, all participants produce a one-or-two page topic paper on either:
* A specific problem that they wanted to solve with a web-of-trust solution, and why current solutions (PGP or CA-based PKI) can't address the problem?
* A specific solution related to the web-of-trust that you'd like others to use or contribute to?
The workshop itself also produces technical whitepapers, this Repository holds a record of the progression of thought in SSI, since November, 2015.

* [White Papers, Specifications & Proofs of Concept](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot1-sf/blob/master/topics-and-advance-readings/white-papers--specifications---and-proof-of-concept-code.md)
>Our goal for this initial #RebootingWebOfTrust design workshop is to:
>
> * Focus on the creation of the next generation of decentralized web-of-trust based identity systems.
> * To generate 5 technical white papers on topics decided by the group that will have the greatest impact on the future"
>
> To this end, I thought it would be useful to define what is a white paper, and as some people desire to go beyond this, what is a specification and proof of concept code.

## Ethereum [**^**](#contents)
* [ERC: Lightweight Identity #1056](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/1056) —This ERC describes a standard for creating and updating identities with a limited use of blockchain resources. An identity can have an unlimited number of delegates and attributes associated with it. Identity creation is as simple as creating a regular key pair ethereum account, which means that it's fee (no gas costs) and all ethereum accounts are valid identities. Furthermore this ERC is fully DID compliant.
* [ERC-1484: Digital Identity Aggregator #1495](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/1495) —A protocol for aggregating digital identity information that's broadly interoperable with existing, proposed, and hypothetical future digital identity standards.
* [ERC725](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/725)
* The following describes standard functions for a unique identifiable proxy account to be used by humans, groups, organisations, objects and machines
* [ERC735](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/735) - The following describes standard functions for adding, removing and holding of claims.
- These claims can attested from third parties (issuers) or self attested.
* [EIP712](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/f29527ab39357548b06b29e937a48f06ae099de7/EIPS/eip-712.md) - This is a standard for hashing and signing of typed structured data
* [ERC: Ethereum Claims Registry #780](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/780)
* [EIP-1078](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/ed621645c8f3bc5756492f327cda015f35d9f8da/EIPS/eip-1078.md) -
This presents a method to replace the usual signup/login design pattern with a minimal ethereum native scheme, that doesn’t require passwords, backing up private keys nor typing seed phrases.

## /WebOfTrustInfo
>The Web of Trust is a buzzword for a new model of decentralized self-sovereign identity. It’s a phrase that dates back almost twenty-five years, the classic definition derives from PGP.
\#RebootingWebOfTrust holds bi-annual design workshops where many of the ideas in SSI\DID were formed.
In advance of each workshop, all participants produce a one-or-two page topic paper on either:
* A specific problem that they wanted to solve with a web-of-trust solution, and why current solutions (PGP or CA-based PKI) can't address the problem?
* A specific solution related to the web-of-trust that you'd like others to use or contribute to?
The workshop itself also produces technical whitepapers, this Repository holds a record of the progression of thought in SSI, since November, 2015.

>Our goal for this initial #RebootingWebOfTrust design workshop is to:
>
> * Focus on the creation of the next generation of decentralized web-of-trust based identity systems.
> * To generate 5 technical white papers on topics decided by the group that will have the greatest impact on the future"
>
> To this end, I thought it would be useful to define what is a white paper, and as some people desire to go beyond this, what is a specification and proof of concept code.

## Ethereum [**^**](#contents)
* [ERC: Lightweight Identity #1056](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/1056) —This ERC describes a standard for creating and updating identities with a limited use of blockchain resources. An identity can have an unlimited number of delegates and attributes associated with it. Identity creation is as simple as creating a regular key pair ethereum account, which means that it's fee (no gas costs) and all ethereum accounts are valid identities. Furthermore this ERC is fully DID compliant.

# Awesome Decentralized Identity [![Awesome](https://awesome.re/badge.svg)](https://awesome.re)
*Self-Sovereign, Blockchain and Decentralized Identity Resources*
>A good self‐sovereign identity system will allow individuals to directly influence how companies, governments, and others correlate our interactions across different services and locations by default. It won’t fix all identity problems nor preclude alternative identity approaches, but it will put the individual in control of most uses of identity and give organizations a simpler, easier, more ethical way to use identity to improve how they provide services and products. When successful, it will not only enable individuals to exercise greater control over how companies and governments keep track of us, it will also illuminate those situations where self‐sovereign identity is restricted, facilitating a conversation about when and where such limits are appropriate. [Joe Andrieu -A Technology‐Free Definition of Self‐Sovereign Identity](https://github.com/jandrieu/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2016/blob/master/topics-and-advance-readings/a-technology-free-definition-of-self-sovereign-identity.pdf)

## What is Decentralized ID? [**^**](#contents)
That's a big question, and what follows are just some notes, until I work out a more thoughtful answer.
The essence of Decentralized-ID is in creating open standards for a privacy preserving internet-wide identity layer — not owned by any one particular organization, but interoperable between all.
It's impossible to have a conversation about decentralized-id without discussing blockchain and self sovereign identity:
* Self Sovereign Identity principles (with some help from the GDPR) have helped to shape the narrative around putting the identity owner in control over their personal information.
* Blockchain fueled longstanding efforts to create a privacy preserving internet-wide identity protocol, and inspired development of decentralized networks for online identification.
* The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have also helped to fueled efforts for a global and widely accessible identity solution.

# Awesome Hyperledger Indy Resources [![Awesome](https://awesome.re/badge.svg)](https://awesome.re)
<a href="https://infominer.id"><img src="https://infominer.id/images/infominer.png" align="right" width="150" height="140"></a>
**Protocol, Governance, Education, Ecosystem**
This page contains a growing collection of educational resources related to Evernym, the Sovrin Foundation, and Hyperledger Indy. It was born from [/awesome-decentralized-id](../README.md) and contains some of the same material, but is quite exhaustive. As a result, I decided to split this list off to focus on learning about Hyperedger Indy, the Sovrin Foundation, adn Evernym. Its an index for training, developers, students, end users, investors, and enterprise to more easily navigate the digital identity landscape enabled by Hyperledger Indy.
Since the information is all inter-related, there is some overlapp. Skipping back and forth may be required, depending on your particular interests.

## Introduction [**^**](#Contents)
Internet Identity Workshop is where the quest for concious, user-centric, identity began. Rebooting Web-of-Trust Workshops sprung from the IIW, focused on creating standards for DPKI. Among the United Nations 'Sustainable Development Goals' is for all the world to have access to a digital identity by 2030. Around 2016, the SDGs, blockchain, and the GDPR converged bringing much energy to the decentralized identity ecosystem.

## Sovrin Stewards
The Sovrin ledger is operated by Stewards, trusted organizations within the ecosystem who have agreed to abide by the requirements in the [Sovrin Trust Framework](https://sovrin.org/library/sovrin-governance-framework/) and are responsible for operation the nodes that maintain the Sovrin distributed ledger.
Stewards also, as a group, accept or reject any changes to the ledger-specific portions of the Sovrin open source code by virtue of that role. They thus provide a counterbalance to the Sovrin architects who maintain the Indy code base.

>Our goal for this initial #RebootingWebOfTrust design workshop is to:
>
> * Focus on the creation of the next generation of decentralized web-of-trust based identity systems.
> * To generate 5 technical white papers on topics decided by the group that will have the greatest impact on the future"
>
> To this end, I thought it would be useful to define what is a white paper, and as some people desire to go beyond this, what is a specification and proof of concept code.

# Rebooting Web Of Trust - Papers and Advance Readings Index
I wanted a list of all RWoT papers in one place, rather than having to directory hop to look for what I need. I'll be adding a short exerpt to each advance reading and then turning this into a database, so that it's easily searchable.+
See the [WebofTrust.Info](http://www.weboftrust.info/) or [github.com/WebOfTrustInfo](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/) for more information.
> '[Web of Trust](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust)' is a network of relationships that attest to our identity claims. *Each party attesting to your identity information becomes a strand in your web of trust.*

* [**ActivityPub: From Decentralized to Distributed Social Networks**](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2017/blob/master/final-documents/activitypub-decentralized-distributed.md)
- Christopher Lemmer Webber & Manu Sporny
- An overview of the W3C ActivityPub protocol.
* [**Amira 1.0.0**](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2017/blob/master/final-documents/amira.md)
- Joe Andrieu & Team
- This paper [...] presents a human-centric illustration of an individual’s experience in a self-sovereign, decentralized realization of the Web of Trust as originally conceived by Phil Zimmerman for PGP.
* [**The DCS Theorem**](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2017/blob/master/final-documents/dcs-theorem/The-DCS-Theorem.pdf)
- Greg Slepak & Anya Petrova
- A probability proof of the DCS Triangle. Why can't decentralized consensus systems have all three of decentralization, consensus, and scale? Plus, two methods for getting around these limitations.
* [**A Decentralized Approach to Blockcerts Credential Revocation**](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2017/blob/master/final-documents/blockcerts-revocation.md)
- João Santos & Kim Hamilton Duffy
- Blockcerts are blockchain-anchored credentials with a verification process designed to be decentralized and trustless. This proposal describes an alternate method of issuing Blockcerts using Ethereum, which allows for a new form of revocation by either the issuer or the recipient.
* [**Engineering Privacy for Verified Credentials: In Which We Describe Data Minimization, Selective Disclosure, and Progressive Trust**](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2017/blob/master/final-documents/data-minimization-sd.md)
- Lionel Wolberger, Brent Zundel, Zachary Larson, Irene Hernandez & Katryna Dow
- we have identified three related but distinct privacy enhancing strategies: "data minimization," "selective disclosure," and "progressive trust." These enhancements are enabled with cryptography. The goal of this paper is to enable decision makers, particularly non-technical ones, to gain a nuanced grasp of these enhancements along with some idea of how their enablers work.
* [**Identity Hubs Capabilities Perspective**](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2017/blob/master/final-documents/identity-hubs-capabilities-perspective.md)
- by Adrian Gropper, Drummond Reed & Mark S. Miller
> Identity Hubs as currently proposed in the Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF) are a subset of a general Decentralized Identifier (DID) based user-controlled agent, based on ACLs rather than an object-capabilities (ocap) architecture. Transitioning the Hubs design to an ocap model can be achieved by introducing an UMA authorization server as the control endpoint.
* [**Linked Data Capabilities**](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2017/blob/master/final-documents/lds-ocap.md)
- Christopher Lemmer Webber & Mark S. Miller
> Linked Data Signatures enable a method of asserting the integrity of linked data documents that are passed throughout the web. The object capability model is a powerful system for ensuring the security of computing systems.

The sixth Rebooting the Web of Trust design workshop ran in Santa Barbara, California, on March 6th to 8th, 2018.
* [**BTCR DID Resolver Specification**](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/master/final-documents/btcr-resolver.md)
- Kim Hamilton Duffy, Christopher Allen, Ryan Grant, and Dan Pape
> This describes the process of resolving a BTCR DID into a DID Document. The draft reference implementation is available at https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/btcr-did-tools-js (see didFormatter.js). Note that not all steps described in this document are implemented yet.
* [**Decentralized Autonomic Data (DAD) and the three R's of Key Management**](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/master/final-documents/DecentralizedAutonomicData.md)
- by Samuel M. Smith Ph.D. with Vishal Gupta
> This paper proposes a new class of data called decentralized autonomic data (DAD). The term decentralized means that the governance of the data may not reside with a single party. A related concept is that the trust in the data provenance is diffuse in nature. Central to the approach is leveraging the emerging DID (decentralized identifier) standard. The term autonomic means self-managing or self-regulating. In the context of data, we crystalize the meaning of self-managing to include cryptographic techniques for maintaining data provenance that make the data self-identifying, self-certifying, and self-securing. Implied thereby is the use of cryptographic keys and signatures to provide a root of trust for data integrity and to maintain that trust over transformation of that data, e.g. provenance. Thus key management must be a first order property of DADs. This includes key reproduction, rotation, and recovery. The pre-rotation and hybrid recovery methods presented herein are somewhat novel.
* [**Decentralized Identifiers v1.0**](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/master/final-documents/did-spec-1.0.md)

> The Decentralized Identifiers specification editors and implementers spent some time at Rebooting the Web of Trust 6 processing the remaining issues in the issue tracker. This document summarizes the proposed resolutions that the group has put forward to resolve all of the DID specification issues that were submitted before 2018-03-05.
* [*Exploring Sustainable Technology Commons using Appreciative Inquiry*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/master/final-documents/sustainable-commons.md)
- by Heather Vescent, Kaliya “Identity Woman” Young, Adrian Gropper, and Juan Caballero
> Technology commons come in a variety of flavors and have achieved varying levels of financial success. For-profit corporate activities have in few historical cases been set up with a financial feedback mechanism to support the commons upon which they depend and capitalize. Why do the commons and the technology sectors’ available forms of capitalism act as incompatible as oil and water, even though they support each other’s aims? When capitalist benefactors support the technology commons that they utilize, it creates a sustainable and thriving commons which enables and supports additional capitalistic technology innovation. Having worked on both sides of the equation, the authors of this piece propose a vocabulary to nourish these interactions between the two sides; identified characteristics of a sustainable technology commons; identified commons models and variations; applied Appreciative Inquiry principles to one commons model; and identified future research areas.
* [*Identity Hub Attestation Flows and Components*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/master/final-documents/identity-hub-attestations.md)
- by Daniel Buchner, Cherie Duncan, John Toohey, Ron Kreutzer, and Stephen Curran
> In this document, we define a set of user flows and describe the associated Action Objects that support a Hub-centric approach to the request, issuance, presentation, verification, and revocation of interoperable attestations. This document extends the [Identity Hub Explainer](https://github.com/decentralized-identity/hubs/blob/master/explainer.md).
* [*Introduction to DID Auth*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/master/final-documents/did-auth.md)
- by Markus Sabadello, Kyle Den Hartog, Christian Lundkvist, Cedric Franz, Alberto Elias, Andrew Hughes, John Jordan & Dmitri Zagidulin
> The term DID Auth has been used in different ways and is currently not well-defined. We define DID Auth as a ceremony where an identity owner, with the help of various components such as web browsers, mobile devices, and other agents, proves to a relying party that they are in control of a DID. This means demonstrating control of the DID using the mechanism specified in the DID Document's "authentication" object. This could take place using a number of different data formats, protocols, and flows. DID Auth includes the ability to establish mutually authenticated communication channels and to authenticate to web sites and applications. Authorization, Verifiable Credentials, and Capabilities are built on top of DID Auth and are out of scope for this document. This paper gives on overview of the scope of DID Auth, supported protocols and flows, and the use of components of the DID Documents that are relevant to authentication, as well as formats for challenges and responses.
* [*Open Badges are Verifiable Credentials*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/master/final-documents/open-badges-are-verifiable-credentials.md)
- By Nate Otto & Kim Hamilton Duffy
> We identify use cases and requirements that connect threads of work happening in the Rebooting Web of Trust community around: educational achievement claims (particularly using the Open Badges vocabulary); use of decentralized identifiers (DIDs) within web services where educational claims circulate; and integrating blockchain-reliant verification layers. We illustrate each of these cases with a set of example documents and describe user stories for Open Badges ecosystem software in the roles of Issuer, Host/Backpack, Displayer, and Verifier that need to be implemented in order to enable the capabilities described.
* [*SSI: A Roadmap for Adoption*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/master/final-documents/a-roadmap-for-ssi.md)
- By Moses Ma, Claire Rumore, Dan Gisolfi, Wes Kussmaul & Dan Greening (Senex Rex)
> This document proposes the formation of a short-term team to develop consistent messaging for the Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) market. It will target key stakeholders who would actively promote SSI adoption. The goal is to create an SSI market roadmap. This roadmap will help SSI leaders, standards bodies, developers, academics, media, and investors coordinate and clarify their messaging for the market, to accelerate the SSI adoption.
### Rebooting the Web of Trust VII [**^**](#contents)
![](http://i.imgur.com/tHcfNsK.png)
The seventh Rebooting the Web of Trust design workshop, ran near Toronto, Canada, on September 26th to 28th, 2018.
* [*BTCR v0.1 Decisions*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7-toronto/blob/master/final-documents/btcr_0_1.pdf) [(Text)](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7-toronto/blob/master/final-documents/btcr_0_1.md)
- Kim Hamilton Duffy, Christopher Allen, and Dan Pape
> The Bitcoin Reference (BTCR) DID method supports DIDs using the Bitcoin blockchain. This method has been under development through Rebooting Web of Trust events and hackathons over the past year. The BTCR method's reliance on the Bitcoin blockchain presents both advantages and design challenges. During RWOT7, the authors made a number of design and implementation decisions -- largely scope-cutting in nature -- in order to lock down a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) version, which we'll refer to as v0.1. This paper documents those decisions, which will apply to the upcoming v0.1 BTCR method specification and associated v0.1 BTCR reference implementation.
* [*A DID for Everything*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7-toronto/blob/master/final-documents/A_DID_for_everything.pdf) [(Text)](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7-toronto/blob/master/final-documents/A_DID_for_everything.md)
- Shaun Conway, Andrew Hughes, Moses Ma, Jack Poole, Martin Riedel, Samuel M. Smith Ph.D., and Carsten Stöcker
> The decentralized identifier (DID) is a new and open standard type of globally unique identifier that offers a model for lifetime-scope portable digital identity that does not depend on any centralized authority and that can never be taken away by third-parties. DIDs are supported by the W3C community and the Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF). They are the "atomic units" of a new layer of decentralized identity infrastructure. However, DIDs can be extended from identifiers for people to any entity, thus identifying everything. We can use DIDs to help us identify and manage objects, machines, or agents through their digital twins; we can expand them to locations, to events, and even to pure data objects, which we refer to as decentralized autonomic data (DAD) items.
> The paper will present novel use-cases for DIDs and DADs and propose a new cryptographic data structure that is a self-contained blockchain of DADs. This enables the verification of the provenance of a given data flow. It builds on a prior paper and an associated reading.
* [*How to Convince Dad\* of the Importance of Self-Sovereign Identity*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/final-documents/convincing-dad.pdf) [(Text)](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/final-documents/convincing-dad.md)
- Shannon Appelcline, Kenneth Bok, Lucas Parker, Peter Scott, and Matthew Wong
> One of the major problems with bootstrapping self-sovereign identity is that it requires adoption by a large number of people. Pushing self-sovereign identity from the top-down is most likely to result in a technology that’s not actually used, but instead encouraging the average person to demand self-sovereign identity from the bottom-up will result in the organic development of a vibrant, well-utilized decentralized web-of-trust ecosystem.
> This paper addresses that need by offering arguments to a variety of people who might be reluctant to use self-sovereign identity, uninterested in its possibilities, or oblivious to the dangers of centralization. By focusing on the needs of real people, we hope to also encourage developers, engineers, and software business owners to create the apps that will address their reluctance and fulfill their needs, making self-sovereign identity a reality.
* [*IPLD as a general pattern for DID documents and Verifiable Claims*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7-toronto/blob/master/final-documents/ipld-did.pdf) [(Text)](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7-toronto/blob/master/final-documents/ipld-did.md)
- jonnycrunch, Anthony Ronning, Kim Duffy, Christian Lundkvist
> Since the emergence of the Decentralized Identifier (DID) specification at the Fall 2016 Rebooting the Web of Trust [1], numerous DID method specifications have appeared. Each DID method specification defines how to resolve a cryptographically-tied DID document given a method-specific identifier. In this paper, we describe a way to represent the DID document as a content-addressed Merkle Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) using Interplanetary Linked Data (IPLD). This technique enables more cost-efficient, scaleable creation of DIDs and can be applied across different DID method specifications.
* [*Peer to Peer Degrees of Trust*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/final-documents/peer-to-peer-degrees-of-trust.pdf) [(Text)](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/final-documents/peer-to-peer-degrees-of-trust.md)
- Harrison Stahl, Titus Capilnean, Peter Snyder, and Tyler Yasaka
> Aunthenticity is a challenge for any identity solution. In the physical world, at least in America, it is not difficult to change one's identity. In the digital world, there is the problem of bots. The botnet detection market is expected to be worth over one billion USD by 2023, in a landscape where most digital activity is still heavily centralized. These centralized digital solutions have the advantage of being able to track IP addresses, request phone verification, and present CAPTCHAs to users in order to authenticate them. If this problem is so difficult to solve in the centralized world, how much more challenging will it be in the decentralized world, where none of these techniques are available?
> In this paper, we explore the idea of using a web of trust as a tool to add authenticity to decentralized identifiers (DIDs). We define a framework for deriving relative trust degrees using a given trust metric: a "trustworthiness" score for a given identity from the perspective of another identity. It is our intent that this framework may be used as a starting point for an ongoing exploration of graph-based, decentralized trust. We believe this approach may ultimately be used as a foundation for decentralized reputation.
* [*Resource Integrity Proofs*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/final-documents/resource-integrity-proofs.pdf) [(Text)](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/final-documents/resource-integrity-proofs.md)
- Ganesh Annan and Kim Hamilton Duffy
> Currently, the Web provides a simple yet powerful mechanism for the dissemination of information via links. Unfortunately, there is no generalized mechanism that enables verifying that a fetched resource has been delivered without unexpected manipulation. Would it be possible to create an extensible and multipurpose cryptographic link that provides discoverability, integrity, and scheme agility?
> This paper proposes a linking solution that decouples integrity information from link and resource syntaxes, enabling verification of any representation of a resource from any type of link. We call this approach Resource Integrity Proofs (RIPs). RIPs provide a succinct way to link to resources with cryptographically verifiable content integrity. RIPs can be combined with blockchain technology to create discoverable proofs of existence to off-chain resources.
* [*Use Cases and Proposed Solutions for Verifiable Offline Credentials*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7-toronto/blob/master/final-documents/offline-use-cases.pdf) [(Text)](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7-toronto/blob/master/final-documents/offline-use-cases.md)
- Michael Lodder, Samantha Mathews Chase, and Wolf McNally
> In this paper we cover various scenarios where some or all parties have intermittent, unreliable, untrusted, insecure, or no network access, but require cryptographic verification (message protection and/or proofs). Furthermore, communications between the parties may be only via legacy voice channels. Applicable situations include marine, subterranean, remote expeditions, disaster areas, refugee camps, and high-security installations. This paper then recommends solutions for addressing offline deployments.

## Topics and Advance Readings [**^**](#contents)
In advance of the design workshop, all participants are requested to produce a one-or-two page topic paper to be shared with the other attendees on either:
* A specific problem that they wanted to solve with a web-of-trust solution, and why current solutions (PGP or CA-based PKI) can't address the problem?
* A specific solution related to the web-of-trust that you'd like others to use or contribute to?

>
> * Focus on the creation of the next generation of decentralized web-of-trust based identity systems.
> * To generate 5 technical white papers on topics decided by the group that will have the greatest impact on the future"

# Rebooting Web Of Trust - Papers and Advance Readings Index
I wanted a list of all RWoT papers in one place, rather than having to directory hop to look for what I need. I'll be adding a short exerpt to each advance reading and then turning this into a database, so that it's easily searchable.+
See the [WebofTrust.Info](http://www.weboftrust.info/) or [github.com/WebOfTrustInfo](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/) for more information.
> '[Web of Trust](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust)' is a network of relationships that attest to our identity claims. *Each party attesting to your identity information becomes a strand in your web of trust.*

### RWoT Workshop Related [**^**](#contents)
* [White Papers, Specifications & Proofs of Concept](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot1-sf/blob/master/topics-and-advance-readings/white-papers--specifications---and-proof-of-concept-code.md)
>Our goal for this initial #RebootingWebOfTrust design workshop is to:
>
> * Focus on the creation of the next generation of decentralized web-of-trust based identity systems.
> * To generate 5 technical white papers on topics decided by the group that will have the greatest impact on the future"
>
> To this end, I thought it would be useful to define what is a white paper, and as some people desire to go beyond this, what is a specification and proof of concept code.

- Lionel Wolberger, Brent Zundel, Zachary Larson, Irene Hernandez & Katryna Dow
- we have identified three related but distinct privacy enhancing strategies: "data minimization," "selective disclosure," and "progressive trust." These enhancements are enabled with cryptography. The goal of this paper is to enable decision makers, particularly non-technical ones, to gain a nuanced grasp of these enhancements along with some idea of how their enablers work.
* [**Identity Hubs Capabilities Perspective**](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2017/blob/master/final-documents/identity-hubs-capabilities-perspective.md)
- by Adrian Gropper, Drummond Reed & Mark S. Miller
> Identity Hubs as currently proposed in the Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF) are a subset of a general Decentralized Identifier (DID) based user-controlled agent, based on ACLs rather than an object-capabilities (ocap) architecture. Transitioning the Hubs design to an ocap model can be achieved by introducing an UMA authorization server as the control endpoint.
* [**Linked Data Capabilities**](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2017/blob/master/final-documents/lds-ocap.md)

### Rebooting the Web of Trust VI [**^**](#contents)
![](http://i.imgur.com/9yhGv6a.png)
The sixth Rebooting the Web of Trust design workshop ran in Santa Barbara, California, on March 6th to 8th, 2018.
* [**BTCR DID Resolver Specification**](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/master/final-documents/btcr-resolver.md)
- Kim Hamilton Duffy, Christopher Allen, Ryan Grant, and Dan Pape
> This describes the process of resolving a BTCR DID into a DID Document. The draft reference implementation is available at https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/btcr-did-tools-js (see didFormatter.js). Note that not all steps described in this document are implemented yet.
* [**Decentralized Autonomic Data (DAD) and the three R's of Key Management**](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/master/final-documents/DecentralizedAutonomicData.md)
- by Samuel M. Smith Ph.D. with Vishal Gupta
> This paper proposes a new class of data called decentralized autonomic data (DAD). The term decentralized means that the governance of the data may not reside with a single party. A related concept is that the trust in the data provenance is diffuse in nature. Central to the approach is leveraging the emerging DID (decentralized identifier) standard. The term autonomic means self-managing or self-regulating. In the context of data, we crystalize the meaning of self-managing to include cryptographic techniques for maintaining data provenance that make the data self-identifying, self-certifying, and self-securing. Implied thereby is the use of cryptographic keys and signatures to provide a root of trust for data integrity and to maintain that trust over transformation of that data, e.g. provenance. Thus key management must be a first order property of DADs. This includes key reproduction, rotation, and recovery. The pre-rotation and hybrid recovery methods presented herein are somewhat novel.
* [**Decentralized Identifiers v1.0**](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/master/final-documents/did-spec-1.0.md)
- A Status Note
> The Decentralized Identifiers specification editors and implementers spent some time at Rebooting the Web of Trust 6 processing the remaining issues in the issue tracker. This document summarizes the proposed resolutions that the group has put forward to resolve all of the DID specification issues that were submitted before 2018-03-05.
* [*Exploring Sustainable Technology Commons using Appreciative Inquiry*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/master/final-documents/sustainable-commons.md)
- by Heather Vescent, Kaliya “Identity Woman” Young, Adrian Gropper, and Juan Caballero
> Technology commons come in a variety of flavors and have achieved varying levels of financial success. For-profit corporate activities have in few historical cases been set up with a financial feedback mechanism to support the commons upon which they depend and capitalize. Why do the commons and the technology sectors’ available forms of capitalism act as incompatible as oil and water, even though they support each other’s aims? When capitalist benefactors support the technology commons that they utilize, it creates a sustainable and thriving commons which enables and supports additional capitalistic technology innovation. Having worked on both sides of the equation, the authors of this piece propose a vocabulary to nourish these interactions between the two sides; identified characteristics of a sustainable technology commons; identified commons models and variations; applied Appreciative Inquiry principles to one commons model; and identified future research areas.
* [*Identity Hub Attestation Flows and Components*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/master/final-documents/identity-hub-attestations.md)
- by Daniel Buchner, Cherie Duncan, John Toohey, Ron Kreutzer, and Stephen Curran
> In this document, we define a set of user flows and describe the associated Action Objects that support a Hub-centric approach to the request, issuance, presentation, verification, and revocation of interoperable attestations. This document extends the [Identity Hub Explainer](https://github.com/decentralized-identity/hubs/blob/master/explainer.md).
* [*Introduction to DID Auth*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/master/final-documents/did-auth.md)
- by Markus Sabadello, Kyle Den Hartog, Christian Lundkvist, Cedric Franz, Alberto Elias, Andrew Hughes, John Jordan & Dmitri Zagidulin
> The term DID Auth has been used in different ways and is currently not well-defined. We define DID Auth as a ceremony where an identity owner, with the help of various components such as web browsers, mobile devices, and other agents, proves to a relying party that they are in control of a DID. This means demonstrating control of the DID using the mechanism specified in the DID Document's "authentication" object. This could take place using a number of different data formats, protocols, and flows. DID Auth includes the ability to establish mutually authenticated communication channels and to authenticate to web sites and applications. Authorization, Verifiable Credentials, and Capabilities are built on top of DID Auth and are out of scope for this document. This paper gives on overview of the scope of DID Auth, supported protocols and flows, and the use of components of the DID Documents that are relevant to authentication, as well as formats for challenges and responses.
* [*Open Badges are Verifiable Credentials*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/master/final-documents/open-badges-are-verifiable-credentials.md)
- By Nate Otto & Kim Hamilton Duffy
> We identify use cases and requirements that connect threads of work happening in the Rebooting Web of Trust community around: educational achievement claims (particularly using the Open Badges vocabulary); use of decentralized identifiers (DIDs) within web services where educational claims circulate; and integrating blockchain-reliant verification layers. We illustrate each of these cases with a set of example documents and describe user stories for Open Badges ecosystem software in the roles of Issuer, Host/Backpack, Displayer, and Verifier that need to be implemented in order to enable the capabilities described.
* [*SSI: A Roadmap for Adoption*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/master/final-documents/a-roadmap-for-ssi.md)
- By Moses Ma, Claire Rumore, Dan Gisolfi, Wes Kussmaul & Dan Greening (Senex Rex)
> This document proposes the formation of a short-term team to develop consistent messaging for the Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) market. It will target key stakeholders who would actively promote SSI adoption. The goal is to create an SSI market roadmap. This roadmap will help SSI leaders, standards bodies, developers, academics, media, and investors coordinate and clarify their messaging for the market, to accelerate the SSI adoption.
### Rebooting the Web of Trust VII [**^**](#contents)
![](http://i.imgur.com/tHcfNsK.png)
The seventh Rebooting the Web of Trust design workshop, ran near Toronto, Canada, on September 26th to 28th, 2018.
* [*BTCR v0.1 Decisions*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7-toronto/blob/master/final-documents/btcr_0_1.pdf) [(Text)](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7-toronto/blob/master/final-documents/btcr_0_1.md)
- Kim Hamilton Duffy, Christopher Allen, and Dan Pape
> The Bitcoin Reference (BTCR) DID method supports DIDs using the Bitcoin blockchain. This method has been under development through Rebooting Web of Trust events and hackathons over the past year. The BTCR method's reliance on the Bitcoin blockchain presents both advantages and design challenges. During RWOT7, the authors made a number of design and implementation decisions -- largely scope-cutting in nature -- in order to lock down a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) version, which we'll refer to as v0.1. This paper documents those decisions, which will apply to the upcoming v0.1 BTCR method specification and associated v0.1 BTCR reference implementation.
* [*A DID for Everything*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7-toronto/blob/master/final-documents/A_DID_for_everything.pdf) [(Text)](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7-toronto/blob/master/final-documents/A_DID_for_everything.md)
- Shaun Conway, Andrew Hughes, Moses Ma, Jack Poole, Martin Riedel, Samuel M. Smith Ph.D., and Carsten Stöcker
> The decentralized identifier (DID) is a new and open standard type of globally unique identifier that offers a model for lifetime-scope portable digital identity that does not depend on any centralized authority and that can never be taken away by third-parties. DIDs are supported by the W3C community and the Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF). They are the "atomic units" of a new layer of decentralized identity infrastructure. However, DIDs can be extended from identifiers for people to any entity, thus identifying everything. We can use DIDs to help us identify and manage objects, machines, or agents through their digital twins; we can expand them to locations, to events, and even to pure data objects, which we refer to as decentralized autonomic data (DAD) items.
> The paper will present novel use-cases for DIDs and DADs and propose a new cryptographic data structure that is a self-contained blockchain of DADs. This enables the verification of the provenance of a given data flow. It builds on a prior paper and an associated reading.
* [*How to Convince Dad\* of the Importance of Self-Sovereign Identity*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/final-documents/convincing-dad.pdf) [(Text)](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/final-documents/convincing-dad.md)
- Shannon Appelcline, Kenneth Bok, Lucas Parker, Peter Scott, and Matthew Wong
> One of the major problems with bootstrapping self-sovereign identity is that it requires adoption by a large number of people. Pushing self-sovereign identity from the top-down is most likely to result in a technology that’s not actually used, but instead encouraging the average person to demand self-sovereign identity from the bottom-up will result in the organic development of a vibrant, well-utilized decentralized web-of-trust ecosystem.
> This paper addresses that need by offering arguments to a variety of people who might be reluctant to use self-sovereign identity, uninterested in its possibilities, or oblivious to the dangers of centralization. By focusing on the needs of real people, we hope to also encourage developers, engineers, and software business owners to create the apps that will address their reluctance and fulfill their needs, making self-sovereign identity a reality.
* [*IPLD as a general pattern for DID documents and Verifiable Claims*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7-toronto/blob/master/final-documents/ipld-did.pdf) [(Text)](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7-toronto/blob/master/final-documents/ipld-did.md)
- jonnycrunch, Anthony Ronning, Kim Duffy, Christian Lundkvist
> Since the emergence of the Decentralized Identifier (DID) specification at the Fall 2016 Rebooting the Web of Trust [1], numerous DID method specifications have appeared. Each DID method specification defines how to resolve a cryptographically-tied DID document given a method-specific identifier. In this paper, we describe a way to represent the DID document as a content-addressed Merkle Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) using Interplanetary Linked Data (IPLD). This technique enables more cost-efficient, scaleable creation of DIDs and can be applied across different DID method specifications.
* [*Peer to Peer Degrees of Trust*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/final-documents/peer-to-peer-degrees-of-trust.pdf) [(Text)](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/final-documents/peer-to-peer-degrees-of-trust.md)
- Harrison Stahl, Titus Capilnean, Peter Snyder, and Tyler Yasaka
> Aunthenticity is a challenge for any identity solution. In the physical world, at least in America, it is not difficult to change one's identity. In the digital world, there is the problem of bots. The botnet detection market is expected to be worth over one billion USD by 2023, in a landscape where most digital activity is still heavily centralized. These centralized digital solutions have the advantage of being able to track IP addresses, request phone verification, and present CAPTCHAs to users in order to authenticate them. If this problem is so difficult to solve in the centralized world, how much more challenging will it be in the decentralized world, where none of these techniques are available?
> In this paper, we explore the idea of using a web of trust as a tool to add authenticity to decentralized identifiers (DIDs). We define a framework for deriving relative trust degrees using a given trust metric: a "trustworthiness" score for a given identity from the perspective of another identity. It is our intent that this framework may be used as a starting point for an ongoing exploration of graph-based, decentralized trust. We believe this approach may ultimately be used as a foundation for decentralized reputation.
* [*Resource Integrity Proofs*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/final-documents/resource-integrity-proofs.pdf) [(Text)](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/final-documents/resource-integrity-proofs.md)
- Ganesh Annan and Kim Hamilton Duffy
> Currently, the Web provides a simple yet powerful mechanism for the dissemination of information via links. Unfortunately, there is no generalized mechanism that enables verifying that a fetched resource has been delivered without unexpected manipulation. Would it be possible to create an extensible and multipurpose cryptographic link that provides discoverability, integrity, and scheme agility?
> This paper proposes a linking solution that decouples integrity information from link and resource syntaxes, enabling verification of any representation of a resource from any type of link. We call this approach Resource Integrity Proofs (RIPs). RIPs provide a succinct way to link to resources with cryptographically verifiable content integrity. RIPs can be combined with blockchain technology to create discoverable proofs of existence to off-chain resources.
* [*Use Cases and Proposed Solutions for Verifiable Offline Credentials*](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7-toronto/blob/master/final-documents/offline-use-cases.pdf) [(Text)](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7-toronto/blob/master/final-documents/offline-use-cases.md)
- Michael Lodder, Samantha Mathews Chase, and Wolf McNally
> In this paper we cover various scenarios where some or all parties have intermittent, unreliable, untrusted, insecure, or no network access, but require cryptographic verification (message protection and/or proofs). Furthermore, communications between the parties may be only via legacy voice channels. Applicable situations include marine, subterranean, remote expeditions, disaster areas, refugee camps, and high-security installations. This paper then recommends solutions for addressing offline deployments.

## Topics and Advance Readings [**^**](#contents)
In advance of the design workshop, all participants are requested to produce a one-or-two page topic paper to be shared with the other attendees on either:
* A specific problem that they wanted to solve with a web-of-trust solution, and why current solutions (PGP or CA-based PKI) can't address the problem?
* A specific solution related to the web-of-trust that you'd like others to use or contribute to?

>Our goal for this initial #RebootingWebOfTrust design workshop is to:
>
> * Focus on the creation of the next generation of decentralized web-of-trust based identity systems.
> * To generate 5 technical white papers on topics decided by the group that will have the greatest impact on the future"

# The Evolution of Self Sovereign Identity (Draft Seeking Feedback)
;TLDR A start at examining leading thought around SSI since 2016, and presenting the idea of "modularizing" essential components of SSI documentation.
---
Christopher Allen's seminal work, [The Path to Self Sovereign Identity](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity/blob/master/ThePathToSelf-SovereignIdentity.md) continues to be an important and influential document for the Self Sovereign Identity community and movement. Rightly so, Allen does a superb job of outlining where digital identity has come from and where its going. However, Christopher intended for the [Principles of SSI](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity/blob/master/self-sovereign-identity-principles.md), gathered from the leading thought on digital identity, to be the start of a conversation.
In order to stimulate the discussion, I've been going through a [/infominer33/self-sovereign-identity](https://github.com/infominer33/self-sovereign-identity) and organizing some thoughts on SSI since Christopher's 2016 post. There are a few different ways to approach and describe SSI. What I aim to do is come up with a list of different "SSI Cases" to modularize the treatment of the subject. This will allow each to contribute in the way that makes most sense for themselves, rather than trying to discuss SSI as a whole in a single whitepaper.
That October, [Joe Andrieu](https://github.com/jandrieu) submitted [A Technology‐Free Definition of Self‐Sovereign Identity](https://github.com/jandrieu/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2016/raw/master/topics-and-advance-readings/a-technology-free-definition-of-self-sovereign-identity.pdf) to the third Rebooting the Web of Trust Design Workshop. Within it, he describes the Characteristics of SSI: **Control**, **Acceptance**, and **Zero Cost**.
>1 No disrespect to Christopher Allen’s opening to the conversation, The Path to Self Sovereign Identity [...] It gets a lot right, but leaves a few requirements out, e.g., recoverability and zero cost, and conflates “identities” and claims in an ambiguous manner.
I decided to put the **10 Principles of SSI** up next to Joe Andrieu's **Characteristics of SSI**
* [SSI Principles vs. Characteristics](https://github.com/infominer33/awesome-decentralized-id/blob/master/self-sovereign/ssi-principles-vs-characteristics.md)
Which should also be considered against:
* [Self-Sovereign Bill of Rights](self-sovereign-identity-bill-of-rights.md) - lifeID (founded by [Chris Boscolo](https://github.com/cboscolo)) adapted the 10 Principles of Self-Sovereign Identity into a [Bill of Rights](https://medium.com/@lifeID_io/lifeid-self-sovereign-identity-bill-of-rights-d2acafa1de8b) that all self-sovereign identity solution should uphold.
* [Schutte's Take](https://github.com/infominer33/self-sovereign-identity/blob/master/Schutte-on-SSI.md) which offers criticism on the 10 principles.
I think all of this thought should be consolidated into a cohesive declaration of ssi. The idea is to come up with list of phinciples, or characteristics, or rights, that is as complete as possible, while also as concise as possible. There are a few 10 pointed lists, I'm ok with combining them as necessary and if it turns into 19, for example, I'm ok w that. I'd rather err on the side of too much and pare it down gradually, than to not include enough.
* Next, there are the [7 Myths of SSI](https://github.com/infominer33/self-sovereign-identity/blob/master/7-myths-of-self-sovereign-identity.md) from Timothy Ruff's recent blog post. I've extracted them from his two part series into a concise document. There are surely other myths, and perhaps folk who have encountered them first hand will have some comment on the matter. And my condensed version of his myths could surely be improved upon.
* A gentle introduction to self-sovereign-identity by @antonylewis has a great section, [How would self-sovereign identity work for the user?](https://github.com/infominer33/awesome-decentralized-id/blob/master/self-sovereign/user-experience.md) that I've extracted into github, in order to make a suitable document based upon it. I need to check on certain specifics, basically I want to re-write that section so I saved it here for that purpose.
* [How to Convince Dad* of the Importance of Self-Sovereign Identity](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/final-documents/convincing-dad.md)
* \*and your sister and your daughter and your best friend and your nephew (SSI Use-Cases)
^^^ This could also be modularized
Other content highlighted in [/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity](https:github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity) that I haven't had a chance to fully review, yet:
* [Identity and Digital Self-Sovereignty](https://medium.com/learning-machine-blog/identity-and-digital-self-sovereignty-1f3faab7d9e3#.3jcgvnbok) - Blog post by [Natalie Smolenski](https://medium.com/@nsmolenski)
* [SSI: A Roadmap for Adoption](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/master/final-documents/a-roadmap-for-ssi.md) from Rebooting the web of trust, Spring 2018.
> This document proposes the formation of a short-term team to develop consistent messaging for the Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) market.
### What I'm hoping for:
This is a modular breakdown of SSI documentation I would like to facilitate:
(each, perhaps, around 800-1200 words)
1. History of Digital Identity. Along the lines of Christopher Allen
2. "How SSI works for the User" something along the line of how Antony Lewis
- At its essence, this describes "ssi architecture" so to speak: 'wallet', 'identifier', 'credential' etc and how it interelates
3. "Principles of SSI" whatever you wanna call it, a complete, concise, and "exhaustive" list of foundational SSI principles or progress in that direction.
4. SSI Why Blockchain?
5. Myths of SSI
6. SSI Use Cases. (a'la "how to convince dad")
- This uses the foundation "how SSI works for the USER" to go into more specific details of real life UX
I'm not limited to those 6, and I'm not glued to that order, but thats a general goal, and "how I would do it." We have the foundations of some core SSI content\documentation that I think will improve SSI education\onboarding. Just as in modularizing a codebase, modularizing SSI documentation will make it easier for any aspect to be improved as needed. I hope for these to become living community driven documents. Personally, I'm good at collecting, organizing, and digesting information, but am new to the SSI community, so I'm sure there's plenty I'm not considering.
I can see that I'll need to spend a lot more time with this content, am just learning my way around it right now.
I'm not the most qualified, I just have time and motivation. (Specifically, sometimes I write about Self-Sovereign Identity. But I want to write about it in an accurate way, which is difficult to do until some order is made of all this material.)

# Self Sovereign Identity (SSI)
<a href="https://infominer.id"><img src="https://infominer.id/images/infominer.png" align="right" width="150" height="140"></a>
**Articles and documents associated with Self Sovereign Identity Fundamentals.**
This directory was born from [/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity), the original SSI repository. I've done a bit of work over there, and decided to expand my efforts. The reason I got started on this is because I wanted to write an article about SSI, and saw some areas where I think I can help with some of the legwork towards a more complete, and up-to-date set of SSI literature.
In my opinion, the best overall article on the subject is still Christopher Allen's rallying cry: [The Path to Self-Sovereign Identity](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity/blob/master/ThePathToSelf-SovereignIdentity.md). Christopher did an outstanding job of outlining the history of internet identity standards, and introduces [10 Principles of Self-Sovereign Identity](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity/blob/master/self-sovereign-identity-principles.md), currently in revision.
However, considerable additional material has been created on the subject since then, including some helpful criticism on the principles. I've organized some of my initial thoughts in [/evolution-of-ssi.md](evolution-of-ssi.md).
Then I realized that I should make a more complete survey of the subject, if I want to be thorough. So now I'm collecting as much SSI info as I can, and organizing it here. Once I've completed a review of existing literature on the subject, I'll put it into a google shared doc to encourage further participation.

# A Comparison Between SSI Principles, and Characteristics
In April of 2016, Christopher Allen published "[The Path to Self Sovereign Identity](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity/blob/master/ThePathToSelf-SovereignIdentity.md)."
>The idea of digital identity has been evolving for a few decades now, from centralized identities to federated identities to user-centric identities to self-sovereign identities. However, even today exactly what a self-sovereign identity is, and what rules it should recognize, aren’t well-known.
>
>This article seeks to begin a dialogue on that topic, by offering up a definition and a set of principles as a starting point for this new form of user-controlled and persistent identity of the 21st century.
His article details the history of digital identity standards, and the user experience accompanying those standards. After describing from where we've come, Allen draws from leading thought on digital identity to compose the [Principles of Self Sovereign Identity](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity/blob/master/self-sovereign-identity-principles.md).
That October, [Joe Andrieu](https://github.com/jandrieu) submitted [A Technology‐Free Definition of Self‐Sovereign Identity](https://github.com/jandrieu/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2016/raw/master/topics-and-advance-readings/a-technology-free-definition-of-self-sovereign-identity.pdf) to the third Rebooting the Web of Trust Design Workshop.
>1 No disrespect to Christopher Allen’s opening to the conversation, The Path to Self Sovereign Identity [...] It gets a lot right, but leaves a few requirements out, e.g., recoverability and zero cost, and conflates “identities” and claims in an ambiguous manner.
Andrieu explores what people need from self-sovereign identity, independant from technology. An important consideration, for Joe, is realizing UN Sustainable Development Goal 16.9 “Providing every last person on the planet with a legal identity by 2030."
>In order to fund, co‐develop, and eventually deploy a global self‐sovereign solution to UN Sustainable Development Goal 16.9, it would be prudent to begin with an explicit requirements process independent of any specific technology.
In conclusion, we are offered : **Control**. **Acceptance**. **Zero Cost**.
I'd like to review the <i>the fundamental characteristics of self‐sovereign identity</i> as detailed by Joe Andreiu, and compare each of the <i>principles</i> individually to ensure that all of the essentials are considered.
---
### Fundamental Characteristics of Self-Sovereign Identity
#### CONTROL
* **Self‐sovereign identities are controlled by the individual:**
* **Self‐generatable and Independent:** Individuals must be able to create identity information without asking for permission and be able to assert identity information from any authority. The resulting identity must have the same technical reliability as those provided by well‐known, “official” sources. The observer, of course, is always free to decide whether or not a given piece of information is meritorious, but the information must be able to be verified as a non‐repudiatable statement of correlation using exactly the same mechanisms regardless of source. Further, individuals must be able to present self‐generated identity information without disclosing that the authority in the claim is the subject of the claim.
* **Opt‐in**: The affordance for asserting identity information starts with the individual. While an individual may present claims from known or accepted third party authorities, it is the individual who asserts that the claim applies to them. Self‐sovereign identities begin with the will of the individual, with the intentional presentation of identity information.
* **Minimal Disclosure**: Individuals should be able to use services with minimal identity information. Features that depend on enhanced correlation must be understood by the average user. Such features should be permissioned with the highest granularity, so functions independent of correlation work equally well alongside those dependent on it. It is not acceptable to deny services because of a refusal to provide unrelated information.
* **Non‐participation**: Individuals must be able to choose to not provide identity information for services where it isn’t absolutely required. Any spontaneous identifiers necessary for a service to function, such as cookies or session ids, must use the same infrastructure for consent, persistence, transience, and disclosure as if provided by the individual.
* **Opt‐out**: Individuals should be able to opt‐out of identifying records post‐facto as a matter of course. People should be able to stop the use of a correlating identity information by request. Some transactions necessarily require long term retention of identity information, such as financial transactions, purchases, and shipments. Actions that create permanent records should be clearly marked and communicated such that the retention is expected and understood by the average person. All other actions which leverage a self‐sovereign identity should be de‐correlated on‐demand and said identifiers should no longer be used to correlate that individual across contexts.
* **Recoverable**: Sovereign identities must be robust enough to be recovered even if hard drives are lost, wallets stolen, or birth certificates lost in a fire. Self‐sovereign identities must provide a way for individuals to recover and reassert that existing identify information applies to them even in the face of complete loss of credentials. This may be challenging given current technical proposals, but the point of this paper is to explore the non‐technical requirements of a self‐sovereign identity. To fully address the needs of UN Sustainable Development Goal 16.9, identity assurance can’t depend on pieces of paper, devices, or other artifacts that can be lost, stolen, destroyed, and falsified.
#### ACCEPTANCE
* **Self‐sovereign identities are accepted wherever observers correlate individuals across contexts.**
* **Standard**: There is an open, public standard managed through a formal standards body, free to use by anyone without financial or intellectual encumbrance. Simple The core standard (schema, serialization, and protocols) must be atomically minimal, providing the barest data set, allowing complexity to emerge not from a complicated data model but from a multiplicity of information types, authorities, and observations.
* **Non‐repudiatable**: Individual claims should be cryptographically signed to assure non‐repudiatable statements of correlation. Long term, public and semi‐public ledgers should be used to record claims that become statistically impossible to falsify over time. Self‐sovereign identities, at a minimum depend on cryptographic assurances, and most likely will be further enabled by non‐repudiatable public ledgers.
* **Reliable**: Access to self‐sovereign identities must be at least as reliable as access to the Internet. It should not rely on any individual or group of centralized servers, connections, or access technologies. Substantially Equivalent Above all, self‐sovereign identities must meet the needs of legacy identity observers at least as well as current solutions. If the core architecture is inherently less capable than existing approaches there is little hope of systemic adoption.
#### ZERO COST
* **Finally, any proposed standard for self‐sovereign identity must be adoptable at absolutely minimal cost.**
* Not only must it be free of licensing encumbrances, it must be implementable with readily available, inexpensive, commodity hardware running common operating systems. If it can’t be achieved using today’s commodity products, then we must help manufacturers incorporate what we need.
**In order to reach every last person on the planet**—the explicit target of UN Sustainable Development Goal 16.9—**self‐sovereign identity must be realizable at massive scale with close to zero marginal cost**.
The systems we use to make sense of the resulting identity transactions will provide more than enough consulting, software, and hardware revenue to finance the development of the core enabling technology. Just as the web browser was a zero cost entry into a vast economic and innovation engine of the world‐wide web, so too must self‐sovereign identity begin with the most cost‐effective on‐ramp that can be engineered.

### Principles of Self-Sovereign Identity
Now we'll review Christopher Allen's [Principles of Self Sovereign Identity](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity/blob/master/self-sovereign-identity-principles.md) one at a time to see how well the characteristics compare.
>1. **Existence.** *Users must have an independent existence.* Any self-sovereign identity is ultimately based on the ineffable “I” that’s at the heart of identity. It can never exist wholly in digital form. This must be the kernel of self that is upheld and supported. A self-sovereign identity simply makes public and accessible some limited aspects of the “I” that already exists.
I believe, the *Existance* principle is well represented by the first bulletpoint under the characteristic of *Control*, Self‐generatable and Independent.
>2. **Control.** *Users must control their identities.* Subject to well-understood and secure algorithms that ensure the continued validity of an identity and its claims, the user is the ultimate authority on their identity. They should always be able to refer to it, update it, or even hide it. They must be able to choose celebrity or privacy as they prefer. This doesn’t mean that a user controls all of the claims on their identity: other users may make claims about a user, but they should not be central to the identity itself.
The principle of Control must be well represented, since the characteristic of *Control* has the following 5 sub-points: **Self Generatable and Independent**, **Opt-In**, **Minimal Disclosure**, **Non-participation**, **Opt-out**, **Recoverable**.
>3. **Access.** *Users must have access to their own data.* A user must always be able to easily retrieve all the claims and other data within his identity. There must be no hidden data and no gatekeepers. This does not mean that a user can necessarily modify all the claims associated with his identity, but it does mean they should be aware of them. It also does not mean that users have equal access to others’ data, only to their own.
>4. **Transparency**. *Systems and algorithms must be transparent.* The systems used to administer and operate a network of identities must be open, both in how they function and in how they are managed and updated. The algorithms should be free, open-source, well-known, and as independent as possible of any particular architecture; anyone should be able to examine how they work.
Access and Transparency are not not explicitly represented in the Characteristics of SSI. The *Control* characteristic should be examined in relation.
>5. **Persistence.** *Identities must be long-lived.* Preferably, identities should last forever, or at least for as long as the user wishes. Though private keys might need to be rotated and data might need to be changed, the identity remains. In the fast-moving world of the Internet, this goal may not be entirely reasonable, so at the least identities should last until they’ve been outdated by newer identity systems. This must not contradict a “right to be forgotten”; a user should be able to dispose of an identity if he wishes and claims should be modified or removed as appropriate over time. To do this requires a firm separation between an identity and its claims: they can't be tied forever.
>6. **Portability.** *Information and services about identity must be transportable.* Identities must not be held by a singular third-party entity, even if it's a trusted entity that is expected to work in the best interest of the user. The problem is that entities can disappear — and on the Internet, most eventually do. Regimes may change, users may move to different jurisdictions. Transportable identities ensure that the user remains in control of his identity no matter what, and can also improve an identity’s persistence over time.
>7. **Interoperability.** *Identities should be as widely usable as possible.* Identities are of little value if they only work in limited niches. The goal of a 21st-century digital identity system is to make identity information widely available, crossing international boundaries to create global identities, without losing user control. Thanks to persistence and autonomy these widely available identities can then become continually available.
These principles could be more closely examined against the sub-points of the *Acceptance* characteristic.
>8. **Consent.** *Users must agree to the use of their identity.* Any identity system is built around sharing that identity and its claims, and an interoperable system increases the amount of sharing that occurs. However, sharing of data must only occur with the consent of the user. Though other users such as an employer, a credit bureau, or a friend might present claims, the user must still offer consent for them to become valid. Note that this consent might not be interactive, but it must still be deliberate and well-understood.
>9. **Minimalization.** *Disclosure of claims must be minimized.* When data is disclosed, that disclosure should involve the minimum amount of data necessary to accomplish the task at hand. For example, if only a minimum age is called for, then the exact age should not be disclosed, and if only an age is requested, then the more precise date of birth should not be disclosed. This principle can be supported with selective disclosure, range proofs, and other zero-knowledge techniques, but non-correlatibility is still a very hard (perhaps impossible) task; the best we can do is to use minimalization to support privacy as best as possible.
I think these two principles are well represented by the *Control* characteristic.
>10. **Protection.** *The rights of users must be protected.* When there is a conflict between the needs of the identity network and the rights of individual users, then the network should err on the side of preserving the freedoms and rights of the individuals over the needs of the network. To ensure this, identity authentication must occur through independent algorithms that are censorship-resistant and force-resilient and that are run in a decentralized manner.
This is an important principle that I don't think is represented in the Characteristics.
### Conclusion
This review leaves me with more questions than answers. I'm not sure if we should implement the best parts of the *Characteristics* into the *Principles*, or the other way around.
I'm willing to make an attempt at bringing these together if no one else jumps at the chance. However, I'd like to gather some feedback. I'm tempted to use the Characteristics as the foundation, and simply incorporate any principles not well represented. However, I'm not sure if "Control, Acceptance, and Zero Cost" are the best way to divide them up.

# How would self-sovereign identity work for the user?
Adapted from [A gentle introduction to self-sovereign-identity](https://bitsonblocks.net/2017/05/17/gentle-introduction-self-sovereign-identity/) by [@antonylewis](https://github.com/antonylewis). I think this could use some polishing, but this is a good start, and a good example of a basic necessary SSI explainer.
You would have an app on a smartphone or computer, some sort of “identity wallet” where identity data would be stored on the hard drive of your device, or with an agent of your choosing, but crucially not stored in a central repository.
Your identity wallet would start off empty with only a self-generated Decentralized identifier (DID).
At this stage, no one else in the world knows about this identification number. No one issued it to you. You created it yourself. It is self-sovereign. The laws of big numbers and randomness ensure that no one else will generate the same identification number as you.
You then use this identification number, along with your identity claims, and get attestations from relevant authorities.
You can then use these attested claims as your identity information.
Claims would be stored by typing text into standardised text fields, and saving photos or scans of documents.
Proofs would be stored by saving scans or photos of proof documents. However this would be for backward compatibility, because digitally signed attestations remove the need for proofs as we know them today.
Attestations – and here’s the neat bit – would be stored in this wallet too. These would be machine readable, digitally signed pieces of information, valid within certain time windows. The relevant authority would need to sign these with digital signatures – for example, passport agencies, hospitals, driving licence authorities, police, etc.
Need to know, but not more: Authorities could provide “bundles” of attested claims, such as “over 18”, “over 21”, “accredited investor”, “can drive cars” etc, for the user to use as they see fit. The identity owner would be able to choose which piece of information to pass to any requester. For example, if you need to prove you are over 18, you don’t need to share your date of birth, you just need a statement saying you are over 18, signed by the relevant authority.
Sharing this kind of data is safer both for the identity provider and the recipient. The provider doesn’t need to overshare, and the recipient doesn’t need to store unnecessarily sensitive data – for example, if the recipient gets hacked, they are only storing “Over 18” flags, not dates of birth.
Even banks themselves could attest to the person having an account with them. We would first need to understand what liability they take on when they create these attestations. I would assume it would be no more than the liability they currently take on when they send you a bank statement, which you use as a proof of address elsewhere.
Data sharing
Data would be stored on the person’s device (as pieces of paper are currently stored at home today), and then when requested, the person would approve a third party to collect specific data, by tapping a notification on their device, We already have something similar to this – if you have ever used a service by “linking” your Facebook or LinkedIn account, this is similar – but instead of going to Facebook’s servers to collect your personal data, it requests it from your phone, and you have granular control over what data is shared.
