title: Web Standards and the Emerging Decentralized ID Stack
|
||
excerpt: >
|
||
If you’re willing to put up with a lot of work for incremental improvements then step up and join a standard. Whether that is a (relatively) fast moving standard group like OASIS (www.oasis-open.org) or a slower but more international group like ISO you will learn. You’ll also benefit from working with experts. These experts donate their time and are more than happy to provide ideas, guidance, and leadership.

|
||
> too many people complain about problems but don’t step to Fix It!. There are certainly a lot of flawed standards – but they make interoperability possible – not perfect – but possible. If you haven’t used them then you have no right to complain that they are too complex, too simple (even in the same standard) or too domain specific – or any of the other rants and raves that go on.

> You’re familiar with digital identity standards like OpenID Connect, OAuth, and User-Managed Access, fundamental elements of privacy and security on the internet. But have you ever wondered how they came to be? A lot of work on these protocols went on (and goes on) behind the scenes at the Internet Identity Workshop (IIW), a bi-annual gathering of identity experts where we work on improving the identity systems that make the web run. It’s a great event that’s flown under the radar, so I’m excited to share a new documentary on IIW, “Not Just Who They Say We Are: Claiming our identity on the Internet”. This short film shines a light on the stealth community of “Identerati” at IIW that are defining and refining digital identity.

|
||
> Identity management systems (IDMSs) are widely used to provision user identities while managing authentication, authorization, and data sharing both within organizations as well as on the Internet more broadly. 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.

|
||
> First, you will see the Issuer, Holder and Verifier. This is the archetypal pattern of the decentralized architecture. An issuer issues something to a holder, who then presents it to a verifier, who make a decision. A simple example: government(issuer) issues you a passport (holder), which you present to a border control officer (verifier) who lets you through the gate. When you look at all the use cases (described above), they all fall into this pattern.\

> we can think of each specification as addressing one or more of the SSI “building blocks” that we described above. In some cases a standard may be a bridge between layers, enabling a closer link between connections, data, and keys, making the ecosystem more secure as a whole. What you will find below is a list of all relevant standards, links to every specification, the organizations they belong to, their relationship to the ecosystem, and their relative maturity as internet technologies.
