Traditional identity systems typically suffer from single points of failure, lack of interoperability, and privacy issues such as encouraging mass data collection and user tracking. Blockchain technology has the potential to support novel data ownership and governance models with built-in control and consent mechanisms, which may benefit both users and businesses by alleviating these concerns; as a result, blockchain-based IDMSs are beginning to proliferate. This work categorizes these systems into a taxonomy based on differences in architecture, governance models, and other salient features. We provide context for the taxonomy by describing related terms, emerging standards, and use cases, while highlighting relevant security and privacy considerations.

This method helps to ensure that no third-party can compromise the integrity and security of the system as a whole. Entities can use the system to safely authenticate each other and validate keys and certificates. Centralized key management systems (CKMS) manage key and certificate creation, signing, and validity. Specific problems arise when these authorities become unavailable, or the data they control becomes corrupted or known. Central authorities often become choice targets for attackers. This document proposes to meet these requirements with a decentralized blockchain ledger for providing an oracle of trust and leave control over all keys with end users. The use of a blockchain permits globally readable identifiers and public data to be shared in a secure manner that is not vulnerable to the man-in-the-middle attack or system wide compromise and permits consumers to be self-sovereign. This leaves consumers with the task of key management and protection.

- Multiple currencies on the blockchains
- Certifications in the form of some kind of NFT issued by the issuer.
- Limited supply tokens or NFTs that are “expired” when you use them
- Open Credential Publisher framework was suggested
- VCs are generally authorizations associated with a person, so maybe a person could have the VC and show their credit rating in some way while they are making a transaction

because of the delegation. With that in mind, looking at the semantics only
of the system VCs in my opinion weren't optimally designed for permission
tokens. This difference between the two requires that an implementation
that wants to support both claims tokens and permissions tokens has to
grapple with the different mental model that arise when trying to stuff
these things together. This introduces additional complexity. Additionally
it leads to weird statements that are being made where it's difficult to
tell if the VC is behaving like a claims token or a permissions token.

Yes, exactly this. Exactly what Kyle states above is the reason why it's so complicated (and thus dangerous) to use VCs as permissions tokens.

This is one of the primary reasons that we separated out the Authorization Capabilities work from the Verifiable Credentials work.

By designing around a fit for purpose data model with a well defined problem being solved it allows for us to be much more precise about where we believe extensibility is important versus where normative statements should be made to simplify the processing of the data models.

This debate about decentralization is a continuation of a similar, ongoing argument in cryptocurrency circles: the question of whether or not bitcoin or ethereum is more decentralized is a nearly endless source of argument. Rather than attempting to resolve this potentially unresolvable question, we propose a rubric — which is a scoring guide used to evaluate performance, a product, or a project — that teaches how to evaluate a given DID method according to one’s own requirements. Our goal is to develop a guide that minimizes judgment and bias. Rather than advocating particular solutions, the rubric presents a series of criteria which an evaluator can apply to any DID method based on their particular use cases. We also avoid reducing the evaluation to a single number because the criteria tend to be multidimensional and many of the options are not necessarily good or bad: it is the obligation of the evaluator to understand how each response in each criteria might illuminate favorable or unfavorable consequences for their needs.

In the Ethereum community, a pattern known as ERC1056 (see [2]) utilizes a smart contract for a lightweight identity management system intended explicitly for off-chain usage.

The described DID method allows any Ethereum smart contract or key pair account, or any secp256k1 public key to become a valid identifier. Such an identifier needs no registration. In case that key management or additional attributes such as ""service endpoints"" are required, they are resolved using ERC1056 smart contracts deployed on the networks listed in the registry repository.

Since each Ethereum transaction must be funded, there is a growing trend of on-chain transactions that are authenticated via an externally created signature and not by the actual transaction originator. This allows for 3rd party funding services, or for receivers to pay without any fundamental changes to the underlying Ethereum architecture. These kinds of transactions have to be signed by an actual key pair and thus cannot be used to represent smart contract based Ethereum accounts. ERC1056 proposes a way of a smart contract or regular key pair delegating signing for various purposes to externally managed key pairs. This allows a smart contract to be represented, both on-chain as well as off-chain or in payment channels through temporary or permanent delegates.",,https://github.com/decentralized-identity/ethr-did-resolver/blob/master/doc/did-method-spec.md,,Specification,,Ethereum,The DID Methods,,,,,,"ERC1056, secp256k1",,2022-11-07,,,,,,,,,,,,, Decentralized Identifiers,DIF,,,,,,,,,DID resolver for Ethereum Addresses with support for key management (and DID reference implementation),This library is intended to use ethereum addresses or secp256k1 publicKeys as fully self-managed Decentralized Identifiers and wrap them in a DID Document,,https://github.com/decentralized-identity/ethr-did-resolver,,Code,,Ethereum,The DID Methods,,,,,,"did:ethr:, secp256k1",,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Decentralized Identifiers,Digital Bazaar,did:v1:,,,,,,,,did:v1:,"There are two primary classes of DID-based identifiers in Veres One.

Each one proposes a method for an agent to prove his relation to an identifier - called a Principal. A Principal is a string that can be mapped to a URI, that usually refers to some network resource, which itself can then be linked to a subject. An LDP authorization system may authenticate agents that are allowed access to a resource using different types of Principals. This page lists a number of ways Authorization agents can prove identity of an agent using one Principal, with an ACL that may be using a different type of Principal.

Current password-based logins offers little value to the end-user, as they are forced to bear the onerous responsibility of remembering too many passwords or simply re-using low-security passwords.

As passwords and cookies are easily compromised, both web-site operators and users then expose themselves to massive security breaches. Despite the large amount of valuable standardization work on identity, it is unclear how user agents such as Web browsers can interact with both identity-consuming applications and server-side federated identity services, and many current identity specifications either assume or underspecify secure authentication in the browser. The key missing component to enable trusted identity on the Web is likely then to be found in user-centric cross-browser standards for secure authentication and session management.",,https://www.w3.org/2011/identity-ws/report.html,,Report,,,W3C ID History,,,,,,,,2011,,,,,,,,,,,,, W3C,W3C,,,,Channy Yun,,,,,A draft charter of Web Identity,The W3C has prepared Web Identity working group and make a draft charter.

Most of you don’t know what WebAuthn is yet, but many of you will feel the impact in short order. In fact, I will go so far as to say that WebAuthn may change how we all authenticate to the resources we use every day.

We live in a world where the best parts of our individual local hardware and software collection are rarely leveraged to make cloud security decisions. This is because there has never been a vendor-agnostic and privacy-preserving way for cloud resources to interact with individual hardware configurations in any generic way. Until now!

With WebAuthn, any web entity can call a simple Javascript API and ask for a cryptographically secure credential. What happens next is pretty cool – the world’s browsers have worked with the world’s operating system makers and the world’s hardware manufacturers, so that when a website asks for a credential, the browsers work with the underlying platform to securely locate compliant local hardware and talk to it!",,https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/identity-standards-blog/why-webauthn-will-change-the-world/ba-p/482286,,Post,,,Main,,,,,,,,2019-04-19,,,,,,,,,,,,, WebAuthN,ZDNet,,,,,,,,,W3C finalizes Web Authentication (WebAuthn) standard - ZDNet,"WebAuthn allows users to register and authenticate on websites or mobile apps using an ""authenticator"" instead of a password.

This one relying party enables standards-based passwordless authentication at Xbox, Skype, Outlook.com and more. But what are the actual pieces of the puzzle and how do they fit? Read on for the big picture of how the W3C WebAuthn and FIDO2 CTAP2 specifications interact. We will start with the industry standards perspective, and then at the end we will summarize how Microsoft implements the various roles.

To understand how FIDO2 authenticators work, you need knowledge of two specifications in two different standards bodies. The WebAuthentication (aka WebAuthn) spec lives at W3C (where the browser makers meet) while the Client-to-Authenticator (aka CTAP2) spec lives at the FIDO Alliance (where hardware and platform folks have joined to solve the problem of Fast IDentity Online).",,https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Identity-Standards-Blog/All-about-FIDO2-CTAP2-and-WebAuthn/ba-p/288910,https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/60283iDDAE6B0B53A24427/image-size/original?v=v2&px=-1,Post,,,Main,,,,,,,,2018-11-20,,,,,,,,,,,,, WebAuthN,Microsoft,,,,,,,,,"To Understand WebAuthn, Read CredMan","The holidays are well and truly over, time to get serious - now is the perfect time to read specifications!
