DID Conference Korea

Kaliya created a channel on YouTube.

All these videos were recorded at the DID Conference Korea 2022on Feb 22.

identity isn't about who you are. it's about what others might want or need to know about you, and how you let them know

  • Registration must be completed by Monday, April 18, 2022:

As you progress, youll learn how to use a Hyperledger Indy-based network, be introduced to the Indy CLI, and install and run the Aries toolbox to create, issue, and verify a verifiable credential.

Hyperledger Indy node code and the Indy SDK. It also covers the commonly used cryptography libraries contained in Hyperledger Ursa, the Plenum ledger and how to interact with and change the repositories and code.

The question this article will try to answer is: are self sovereign digital identity solutions suitable for ensuring data sovereignty and individual empowerment? To answer this question, we will address challenges emerging from both the technological architectures and the applicable institutional and normative frameworks.

Class on Digital Identity starting up at University of South Florida

Students examine identity in a digital world. Topics covered include identifying digital identity, managing digital identities, examining marginalized digital identities, and the governing of digital identities. This is primarily a project-based course.

Over the course of two days from Jan. 24 25, the Better Identity Coalition, the FIDO Alliance, and the ID Theft Resource Center co-hosted the Identity, Authentication, and the Road Ahead Cybersecurity Policy Forum with representatives from government and industry providing insight into the policies, challenges and opportunities for identity and authentication in 2022 and beyond.

  • Where IAM trends are set: EIC 2022 5/10-13 Berlin & Online

May 12th is decentralized identity day at the event

Happened in June - Presentation Slides Available now.

IPEN invites participants from different areas such as regulators, academia, open source and business development, and other individuals who are committed to finding engineering solutions to privacy challenges. The overall objective is to integrate data protection and privacy into all phases of the development process, from the requirements phase to production, as most appropriate depending on the development model and the application environment.

This ideathon was specially designed as an exciting challenge for the Singapore interns and centered around trusted data. Here are some of the incredible solutions that the five teams came up with.

Ping CEO Andre Durand s opening keynote set the tone by putting decentralized identity front and center. Stating that our current systems do not scale, Andre took us on a journey through the history of Identity solutions from passwords, to single sign-on, to OAuth, to centralized and federated identity.

The conference had three tracks, Security Documents, Biometrics, and Digital ID with the mission to “… to accelerate the move towards a world where trusted identity solutions enable governments and commercial organizations to provide citizens, employees, customers and consumers with a multitude of opportunities to transact in a seamless, yet secure manner. All the while preventing the efforts of those intent on doing harm.”

At EIC, we could learn who are the key enablers and drivers of the evolution: the European Digital Identity (EUDI) program that is transforming Europes digital identity, mDL that enables drivers license digitalisation, EBSI that established a framework for trusted verifiable credentials exchange, OpenID Connects work on standardisation of Verifiable Credentials exchange, Global Assured Identity Network (GAIN) authentication and identification with highest assurance levels on a global scale, Open Identity Exchange (OIX) for assurance-level and policy matching and mapping, TrustOverIP (ToIP) for the next-generation trusted internet, and others. Global trust, assurance, interoperability and user-centric identity are vital elements that lead to an open digital identity.
