Personal Data

Banking

While US-based entities are adhering to an enhanced regulatory framework, these mandates are particularly applicable in Europe, where there is necessary compliance with enacted standards (such as the General Data Protection Regulation—commonly known as GDPR—and the Payment Service Providers Directive 2—referred to as PSD2. A clear need for a true and persistent digital identity as a solution to the ancillary—and sometimes unforeseen—challenges that have arisen.

  • Banking’s identity problem Global Banking and Finance

    Banks have sought to overcome some of these challenges with the use of biometrics such as facial recognition and fingerprints.  These are now more commonly used to login to, or unlock devices, and increase usability, but still leave the challenge of proving the authenticity of a document wide open to abuse.

Indicio

Credential fraud has, unfortunately, become commonplace in today’s instant electronic age. Especially problematic in higher education, credential fraud has spiralled into a multi-billion-dollar industry

business registry

This rapid digitalization of the private sector exposed a challenge in the business registration paradigm. To use private digital platforms for e-Logistics or e-Commerce, SMEs have to register and confirm their identity with these platforms, despite already being identified in the government business registry.

Fraud

At the root of the problem is the fact that uniquely identifying a person is hard to do and that people can create fake IDs for themselves quite easily.

Security

  • photo attacks based on the presentation of facial evidence of an image of a face printed or displayed via a device’s screen.
  • video of user replay attack usually consisting of placing the screen of the attacker’s device in front of the camera.
  • 3D mask attacks where 3D masks are crafted to reproduce the real traits of a human face and even include eyes holes to fool the liveliness detection based on eye gaze, blinking and motion.
  • deepfake attacks make use of leveraging software capable to create a synthetic video or image realistically representing someone else. Attackers are suspected to have access to a wide dataset containing images or a video of their target.

Hiring \ Resume

Today, even in this digital world that has expanded over the past two years, the job market still relies on self-reported attributes, records, resumes, and/or LinkedIn profiles, that individuals share with employers or recruiters as the source for applicants and employee data.

Africa

In 2018, I was trying to open a bank account in my home town of Mutare, Zimbabwe, having just come back from the 1st world, I was under the impression it would take me at most 30 mins to an hour. I immediately realised I couldn’t provide most of the requirements such as my ‘Proof of Residence’ and many more. It turns out it took weeks and months for some to finish the entire process.

Much like cell phone technology and the internet, the true power of SSDI will only be unleashed when it is embedded across all sectors of society, from education and medical care to telecommunications and retail. And that will require all role players – government bodies, regulators, service providers, public and private agencies – to take up the SSDI baton and become part of the change.

Credit unions

Credit unions and their members face the threat of fraud on all sides. And credit unions employ lots of tools to fight it. But ultimately, the problem comes down to the member and credit union authenticating each other. The problem is that doing this securely annoys people.

The 2021 cohort of Tech Pioneers includes many future headline-makers at the forefront of their industries. These companies show great potential to not only shake up their industries but offer real solutions to global problems.

Memberpass

You can probably use the good news. It’s never been easy to run a credit union, especially when you get whacked from all sides. Regulations change, members always seem to want access to another shiny new technology gadget, and financial fraud continues to be a threat. On top of that, we’ve all had to grapple with the pervasive life-changing effects of the coronavirus pandemic for the past year.

E-Commerce

There is momentum here, and a need to start building out much of what was discussed.

Doc introduced the session with the slide deck here, wearing his hat as a founding member of Customer Commons, the .org working on the Intention Byway discussed at earlier IIW sessions and described in this blog, posed later. 2021-04-27

His case is that the incumbent e-commece system hasn’t progressed past its dependence on the cookie, and perhaps never will; and that there is a need to stand up an alternate model, built on asynchronous pub-sub messaging and compute nodes that run apps that don’t have to come from the stores of Apple and Google.

First examples of target areas (where communities are already active) are food distribution in Michigan and real estate in Boston. Hadrian Zbarcea led the discussion of both, using slides from the deck above.

Career Creds

  • Self sovereign career identity Diginomica with Meg Bear

    The Velocity piece is a way for me as an individual to own my credentials, to say, these are the things that I know. And these are the things I've done. And if I can own that, I have a lot more interest in it. And I can use it in a lot more interesting ways. In the past, that might have just been something that I built as reputation within a company, I can now make that a more dynamic and portable reputation I can take with me anywhere.

Velocity Network

Having a look at the Velocity Whitepaper it does mention they are keeping an eye on the work developing in W3C and DIF.

  • 5 Promising Use Cases for Verifiable Credentials - Hackernoon

    verifiable credentials promise to appear in our daily lives in the not-too-distant future.

In fact, several industries are already digging in. Here are some of the most visible and promising use cases.

  1. You could use VCs to prove that you should have certain levels of access to certain systems. Checking this could happen automatically, but while ensuring that you're "live" and not some bot.
  2. Logs could be kept of which VCs were used when to receive the authority to do something.
  3. ZCAPs could be used to provide fine-grained access to very specific resources, even behind the firewall, within an organizations systems. DIDs could power much of this... but shouldn't promise any of it. The closest we could probably get to what you're asking, Adrian, is to align the Zero Trust Architecture principles to how DIDs and VCs can help -- primarily around: identity verification (VCs), login authentication (DIDs), least-privilege access (ZCAPs, Confidential Storage), and HTTP API access authorization (ZCAPs).
  • More from Adrian

    The most important message from the SolarWinds hack and much of the ransomware havoc is that our systems are not set up for individual accountability or independent audit.

The VC and ZCAPs perspective is inadequate. As an SSI community we need to address the separation of concerns between authentication, authorization, and audit as equally important and needing a harmonized best-practice perspective. Standardized EDVs are table stakes but not terribly relevant to the protocols that link authentication, authorization, and audit. Confidential Storage should be adopting the protocols that connect authentication, authorization, and audit rather than introducing protocols narrowly scoped to the narrow and obvious role of encryption at rest. I've put together a few slides in an attempt to clarify the relationship between non-repudiable accountability and audits (and EDVs). https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ksKal62ZiApX09Nejm4RSqHzHJbgwpu_l2Ho64_ePKU/edit#slide=id.p

In the payment card world, there are clear guidelines on personal liability. $50 if you use credit and up to $500 for debit depending on when you report the issue. Based on that, different people choose to use different “systems.”

However, no such guidelines exist for the use of identity information (e.g. attributes.)

Cognito's CEO Alain Meier joins the State of Identity host Cameron D’Ambrosi to dive into why industries beyond financial services are now in the market for identity verification. They also unpack the impact of synthetic identity fraud across verticals, and how platforms find the balance when building their onboarding processes.

and people asking questions about whether SSI could slove this use case - Yes.

We propose a practical architecture by elaborating the service concept, SSI, and DLT to implement SSIaaS platforms and SSI services. Besides, we present an architecture for constructing and customizing SSI services with a set of architectural patterns and provide corresponding evaluations. Furthermore, we demonstrate the feasibility of our proposed architecture in practice with Selfid, an SSIaaS platform based on our proposed architecture.

Ontario (a province in Canada) just had an election last week and Darrell thinks: Digital ID Can Increase Voter Participation

I’m not an expert on the election process, and this is just my opinion. I’ve been lazy in past elections, and I’d be lying if I said I’ve voted in every one. As a citizen, I believe ease and accessibility have a lot to do with it.

while SSI principles incorporate similar notions to the provisions and principles in the GDPR, closer analysis shows that they might have different meanings.

1/ Can QUIC use DIDComm as a Handshake protocol instead TLS1.3? The spec provides enough abstraction for the session handling, and most crypto operations are the same. The main difference is the trust architecture and model: certificate chain vs DID Documents.
