  • Seven Ways Self-Sovereign Identity Can Enable True Digital Transformation 2021-03-12 Evernym

    “Self-Sovereign Identity not only presents an opportunity for businesses to build smarter, more secure, and more scalable relationships with customers; but it will enable them to completely rethink how they build trusted digital relationships from the ground up.”

    We expect Digital Transformation to be a more prevalent talking point around digital identity. FOMO can go a long way, to sell SII, for Goverments and Corporations striving to not be left behind in the digital age.

    SSI will have to be integrated with large existing business processes and therefore enterprise systems such as ERPs, HCMs, or SCMs to name a few. If this integration results in SSI being as easy to use as clicking a button or selecting a menu item, it will lead to rapid uptake and acceptance.

  • Just ask 2021 Werd

    Wed get the startup founders to figure out the biggest assumptions they were making across user risk (do people want this?), business risk (can this be the center of a viable business?), and feasibility risk (can we build this in a scalable way with the time, team, and resources potentially at our disposal?). And then wed ask them to go out and figure out how to de-risk those assumptions in the real world, usually by talking to experts and asking smart questions.

  • Why plastic cards are a model for verifiable credentials as a service 2022-08-16 Lockstep

    The plastic card paradigm has some powerful features which are instructive for the emerging VCs-as-a-service industry.

    • A competitive market of card personalisation bureaus, providing custom production, magnetic stripe encoding, and card distribution and activation, all in commercial bundles which can be purchased by government agencies, banks, professional associations, universities, driver licence bureaus, and so on. On the rear of many plastic cards, the card manufacturer is indicated in fine print. It may well be that the same manufacturer produced your credit cards and government cards.

    The decentralized workforce is also fueling demand for self-sovereign identity, Dahl says. "When you physically decentralize your workforce in society, the need for identity becomes more important." She says increasing concerns about protecting privacy are "pushing organizations to consider identity solutions that don't involve correlation and don't involve third-party tracking but also provide the security.”

Based on a SWOT analysis, we identify areas for transformation and derive an SSI-enabled interaction model for an electric vehicle charging service. The evaluation of the new process shows that SSI can reduce complexity of integration with partners and can provide a better customer experience through simplified registration and authentication.

  • [literature] Decentralized SSI Governance, the missing link in automating business decisions 2021-01-15 Rieks Joosten, Sterre den Breeijen, Drummond Reed Evernym, TNO
    • Self-sovereign identity could save time and money on bureaucratic processes (form filling and validation) by automating business decisions.
    • Business decisions require governance to ensure the data used for making them qualifies (is valid) for that purpose, and continuously remains compliant with laws, regulations, and company policies (which regularly change).
    • Companies could share this governance burden by supporting communities that support the provisioning of SSI-related assurances for their specific purposes.
    • Such (focused) assurance communities could be supported by tools like credential catalogs and accreditation credentials. We hope this paper inspires SSI proponents to develop not only real SSI infrastructure, but also assurance mechanisms for exchanging qualified data.

  • How to rewrite a press release: a step-by-step guide 2022-08-13 Jon Udell

    Lead with key benefits. The release features two: support for diplex-matched antennas and faster workflow. The original headline mentions only the first, I added the second.

    Clarify modifiers. A phrase like “diplex matched antennas” is ambiguous. Does “matched” modify “diplex” or “antennas”? The domain is unfamiliar to me, but I suspected it should be “diplex-matched” and a web search confirmed that hunch.

    Omit needless words. The idea of faster workflow appears in the original first paragraph as “new efficiencies aimed at streamlining antenna design workflows and shortening design cycles.” Thats a long, complicated, yet vague way of saying “enables designers to work faster.”
