Major XRP Developments:

Digital Wallets, Verifiable Credentials, and Self Sovereign Identity (SSI) are critical topics in the realm of digital identities. In this episode, Benneth Christiansson and Pontus Ullgren from Redpill Linpro office in Karlstad, dives into the intriguing and forward-thinking subject of the area. They discuss the importance of understanding who sees what of your credentials and who owns the information, emphasizing the concept of SSI and third-party trust.  Delve into this interesting episode and learn what technology can do to make your information safer!

In this episode, we sit down with Harrison Tang, Co-founder and & CEO of Spokeo, which is a “people search engine”. Spokeo aggregates many sources of data about people and sells that data to verifiers. So at first blush, Harrison is an unlikely person to be a massive advocate for SSI and co-chair of the W3C Credentials Community Group.We dig in to why Spokeo cares about verifiable credentials, and how verifiable credentials represent the opportunity to deliver more trust to Spokeo's customers and how they allow Spokeo to participate in the next wave of digital identity innovation. We also explore complex concepts like negative reputation and how AI will impact the personal data landscape. We finish out by talking about what current IDtech companies can learn from Spokeo's early go-to-market and what it will take to get verifiable credential adoption.To learn more about Spokeo visit https://www.spokeo.com/ or follow Spokeo on social media (@Spokeo). You can find Harrison on social media as well (@tang_talks) and keep up with his latest thinking through his podcast ‘Tang Talks'.Reach out to Riley (@rileyphughes) and Trinsic (@trinsic_id) on Twitter. We'd love to hear from you.

Podcast transcript Oscar Santolalla: This week we are discussing verifiable credentials. I am joined by Riley Hughes, the host of The Future of Identity Podcast, to explore some of the most recent success stories of verifiable credentials and how we can work to improve adoption moving forward. Stay tuned to find out more. Let's Talk About Digital Identity, the podcast connecting identity and business. I am your host, Oscar Santolalla. Hello, and thank you for joining a new episode over Let's Talk About Digital Identity. One term that has been in our radar for the last - I would say four or five years has been verifiable credentials. Which I will say personally, I'm feeling that is becoming in the last one, two years pretty crystallised. And we have not talked too much about this lately, so I have a very special guest who has a lot of insight - what's going on worldwide about verifiable credentials. Our guest today is Riley Hughes. He is the CEO and Co-founder of Trinsic, a reusable identity infrastructure provider. As a leader in the decentralised identity community, Riley has pioneered efforts on making emerging privacy preserving technologies - such as identity wallets and verifiable credentials - adoptable to the masses. He began his career in the decentralised identity space as the second employee hired at the Sovrin Foundation, where he established and led several teams. Hello, Riley. Riley Hughes: Hi, Oscar. Great to be here. Oscar: It's great to have this conversation with you. So very welcome. And let's talk about digital identity. And as usual, I want to hear more about our guests. So, if you can tell us about yourself, and especially your journey to this world of identity. Riley: Happy to do so. I am very fortunate to have totally fallen into this amazing industry. And it happened because while I was at college, I was seeing all those smart people around me going and getting jobs at elite places, you know, investment banks and management consulting firms, and so forth. And I thought that I wanted to kind of differentiate my resume enough that I could, maybe I could get an interview as well at one of these places. So, I thought, “What is the most, kind of, off the wall internship that I could get that would differentiate me from all of my peers?” And I ended up getting a job at the Sovrin Foundation, as you mentioned. Sovrin at that time was very early. I was, as mentioned, the second employee hired, and it was kind of a blockchain meets identity meets nonprofit, you know, meets early employee kind of a role. And so, it, sort of, fit my criteria for differentiating my resume. But it was also just really, really exciting to be part of an early organisation.

As online degree programs, like Coursera, grow in popularity, so does fraud. Verifiable credentials, using decentralized identity technology, provide a solution by allowing instant credential verification. Online learning is revolutionizing education and micro credentialing is a key aspect of this transformation. On the Voices of eLearning podcast, Nick Lambert, CEO of Duck, discussed the importance of micro-credentials and fraud protection.

Welcome to "Micro-credentials in a Minute," produced by Micro-credential Multiverse. In this episode, micro-credential and digital badge experts Rob Bajor and Allison Fromm (Proofspace.id) discuss some compelling use cases for Verifiable Credentials (VCs). Allison explains that VCs allow credential holders control over their data and provide a means for anyone to easily verify the accuracy of that data - without compromising security and privacy. The best use cases for VCs are when data holders regularly share their data, and others must verify its accuracy. For example, students need to share their credentials with recruiters, employers, and educational institutions, while specialized employees need to present their accreditation information to employers, regulators, and clients. Allison further highlights the power of VCs in the "issue once; verify repeatedly" model, eliminating the need to contact issuing organizations for sealed transcripts repeatedly. With VCs, the holder can control and present their credentials to anyone, while verifiers can have assurance over the data. Tune in to learn more about the power of VCs in digital credentials.

Welcome to "Micro-credentials in a Minute," produced by Micro-credential Multiverse. In this episode, micro-credential and digital badge experts Rob Bajor and Allison Fromm (Proofspace.id) share their insights and discuss how Verifiable Credentials (VCs) can reduce costs for recruiters. Allison explains that anyone can make any claim they want about themselves online, which creates a verification process that costs time and money for recruiters. However, if candidates present their skills and experiences in the form of a verifiable credential, recruiters can easily and automatically check the accuracy of that information. Sharing data via VCs can save money, speed up the process, and create a better experience for everyone involved. Rob adds that verifying information online is crucial for building trust; without it, the principle of trust is undermined. Join Rob and Allison to learn more about the power of VCs in reducing costs for recruiters and building trust in the digital world.

Welcome to "Micro-credentials in a Minute," produced by Micro-credential Multiverse. In this episode, micro-credential and digital badge experts Rob Bajor and Allison Fromm (Proofspace.id) discuss the power of Verifiable Credentials (VCs). They explain that while digital certificates or credentials are easy to forge and alter, VCs provide a means for anyone to quickly verify the accuracy of the data presented without compromising security and privacy. Schools can send VCs directly to the holder's digital wallet, allowing the holder to control their data and decide when and how much information to share. VCs represent a breakthrough in independently verifying the authenticity of a credential and promoting transparency and trust. Tune in to learn more about the power of VCs in the future of digital credentials.

How verifiable credential issuances and verifications are done using OpenID4CI and OIDC4VP (+ why Presentation Exchange was chosen as the verification protocol). Decisions behind supporting different credentials formats, identifiers, cryptography suites and trust management mechanisms. How OpenID4VC fits within the ToIP Hourglass Model (from the ToIP Technical Architecture Specification). How OpenID4VC can be used in conjunction with other protocols such as DIDComm to bootstrap workflows. Does OpenID4VC combined with trust frameworks help to solve the NASCAR problem we face today on the internet? SIOP: the protocol to exchange cryptographically verifiable identifiers and authenticate using the key material controlled by the End-User. Using OpenID4CI for ISO 18013-5 (mDL) to move away from wallet-specific credential issuance and towards an interoperable way of exchanging verifiable credentials between different decentralized identity systems.

Today's guest is Jeffrey Schwartz, Founder & CEO of Dentity whose mission is to make the internet a safer place for people everywhere. Jeffrey's background in the automotive industry (of all places) opened his eyes to the need for better digital identity. He co-founded Dentity to solve the trust problem in peer-to-peer transactions and discusses the surprising breadth of use cases they're already tackling, from frat parties to notaries.Jeffrey then drops loads of knowledge about what he's learned building a consumer product, from the user experience and onboarding lessons learned, to the messaging that resonates with consumers and businesses (including overcoming the baggage with the term “web3”).Jeffrey continues with a bit of a hot take about the role of industry working groups and standards bodies, and how he prefers doing over talking. He explains how their single-minded focus on customers and product has been key to their success, and how they've balanced developing a great user-experience with the principles of self-sovereign identity.Learn more about Dentity at https://www.dentity.com/ and reach out to Jeffrey (jeffrey (at) dentity.com).

Andrew Hughes CISM CISSP is Director of Identity Standards at Ping Identity. He is a digital identity strategist contributing to international standards development. He works with international associations and standards bodies as a domain expert, developing standards and related conformity assessment materials. Andrew serves on the Board of Directors of Kantara Initiative, and as the Chair of the Kantara Leadership Council. As a national expert delegate for Standards Canada on digital identity, he contributes to development of international standards at ISO SC 27 for identity management and ISO SC 17 for mobile driving licenses and mobile eID. Andrew is currently investigating how the worlds of Government Issued Photo ID can co-exist with the emerging Verifiable Credentials models, in a mobile-first manner. About Podcast Episode Read more about the episode by heading to https://northernblock.io/mobile-driving-licence-mdl-exploring-iso-18013-5-7. Some of the key topics covered during this episode with Andrew are: Distinguishing the mobile driving licence (mDL) credential type from a verifiable credential (VC). How the mDL standard is working towards being consumed by other credential transport protocols (e.g., DIDComm, OIDC4VC) Can the same ISO standard for mDL be used to issue non-driving licence credentials? And should it? Do issuers of driving licences consider mDL it as a driving licence credential, or an identity credential? What does the ecosystem look like for mDL vs the one for physical driving licences? Who are some new participants that aren't involved in physical DL production and governance? Why implementation supersedes the standard work. What are some interesting use cases around mDL that are gaining traction? How ISO works and how the relevant mDL sub-committees are evolving the standard. Are there concerns with the mobile hardware and OS providers gaining too much control over the mDL credentials?

In October we were at Money20/20 USA checking the pulse of biometrics and identity in finance. That's where our own Doug OGorden caught up with Kevin Brown, Chief Revenue Officer at 1KOSMOS. This interview covers a wide range of topics in a short time, highlighting 1KOSMOS' orchestrated identity technology, its compatibility with FIDO2 and Verifiable Credentials, and how tracking identities through the course of a transaction can help organizations fight fraud—not just in FinServ, but in government, healthcare and retail, too.

Hello and welcome to Crypto Sapiens Today we are chatting with Henry Lee, Co-founder of Noox, a platform where you collect achievement badges as soulbound NFTs and build your reputation. We briefly explore his crypto journey, starting with a Layer 1 blockchain that he helped launch focusing on interoperability, where he also worked on Decentralized Identity and Verifiable Credentials. In 2021 Noox was born. Henry recalls the landscape was very much focused on NFTs then, with a few projects using transaction history to reward users, gate communities, and provide airdrops.  The vision of NOOX was to add more context to understand users in a more high-dimensional manner and evolve user tiering. They set out to find a way to contextualize user interactions and transaction data. While the MVP looked very different than today's product, the vision was always the same: to enable data as a composable piece of the web3 ecosystem.   If you want to learn more about Henry, you can follow him on Twitter @ hihenrylee and Noox @ noox_world      Thanks for listening to Crypto Sapiens.  If you enjoyed this conversation, please don't forget to like and subscribe wherever you are listening to this podcast.  You can also find more conversations like this one on our website @ cryptosapiens.xyz.  Until next time, stay brainy.

JPMorgan has executed the first live trade on public blockchain. The banking giant completed the transaction using DeFi, Tokenized Deposits, and Verifiable Credentials. Project Guardian is an initiative of MAS with financial institutions such as JP Morgan, Marketnode, and DBS Bank Ltd. Its focus is on use cases for asset tokenization and DeFi. The bank carried out the transaction on Ethereum (ETH) layer2 network Polygon (MATIC) because of its cheap transaction fees and leveraged Aave (AAVE) Protocol's permission pool concept.~this episode if sponsored by GALA Games~Gala Games website ➜ https://links.gala.com/PBNGalaGamesGala Music website ➜ https://links.gala.com/PBNGalaMusicGala Film website ➜ https://links.gala.com/PBNGalaFilm

In this episode of the Ownership Economy, Jahed and Martin connect with Golda Velez, the Co-founder of WhatsCookin, an activity planning startup working to strengthen communities, create opportunities and democratize corporations. Golda comes from a background working as a senior software engineer in some of the largest web2 digital platforms. She worked on data at Uber, risk at Postmates, and held a variety of other roles leading teams in building complex, scalable platforms. She is now taking that experience and applying it to building a stakeholder owned and governed platform for community engagement. We dig into the business model, how she started, tools she's using for ownership and governance, and other aspects of team building in this early stage venture. For engineers interested in transitioning from web2 to web3, we also recommend episode 5 with Kevin Owocki from Gitcoin and Episode 8 with James Young from Abridged. We hope you enjoy the episode.

Orange is a reputation and trust minting protocol that aggregates data and Web3 reputation models to generate comprehensive reputation proofs in the form of Verifiable Credentials and NFTs. It can be used to objectively calculate and assess the "reputation" for a Decentralized Identifier (DID), and associated wallet addresses. It takes multiple data points into account to assess user behavior and preferences. User data can be processed and manifested as "minted reputation" to be stored, exchanged, and used in different forms, such as Verifiable Credentials (VCs), or NFTs. Today's guest is Humpty Calderon. Humpty is perhaps best known around Bankless DAO for CryptoSapiens, a web3 podcast series that got its start as “Tuesday Talks” inside the Bankless DAO Discord server in mid 2021. Today Humpty joins us to talk about Orange Protocol, a reputation and trust minting protocol that aggregates data and Web3 reputation models to generate Verifiable Credentials and NFTs.

- Filling holes in the web3 stack - This was a very fun and interesting conversation with Lauren Feld, Head of Growth at 3Box Labs, a company building the Ceramic Network. The Ceramic Network in my opinion is one the most exciting projects in the web3 space. Ceramic is a decentralized, open source platform for creating, hosting, and sharing streams of data. This is interesting to consider in a decentralized identity context. As we all know, we leave massive traces of ourselves in the digital world. The products that have enabled user generated content in the web2 world have dramatically increased the volume of data we leave behind. If this data is valuable, which social media companies can attest is true, then how could this data be returned to the rightful generator/owner of it,. How can it also be made portable across different applications? On this podcast we often talk about Verifiable Credentials and recently a bit more about government issued digital IDs. I hope this conversation gives listeners some excitement about what's now being made possible with some exciting bottom-up approaches and how turning the data layer of applications into a public utility is the logical evolution of the web. About Episode During this conversation, we discuss: What excites Lauren about web3 applications? What is the pulse on DAOs to incorporate Decentralized ID into them? The importance of Mutability An overview of Decentralized Data Storage Ecosystems, in particular IPFS, one of first protocols in the web3 space What makes Data Composability important for open data layers? How to go about building Distributed Data Models? Key considerations when Selling to Developers rather than to enterprises How to think about Verifiable Credentials in a context of your online data Some Exciting Use Cases happening using Ceramic (you can find more use cases here: https://blog.ceramic.network/) Can older business models use Ceramic to decentralize their data layer?

In deze aflevering van Going Nuts nemen we eens goed de tijd om met Wout Slakhorst (Nedap Healthcare, architect bij Nuts) te bespreken hoe het Nuts register werkt. Hoe zorgt het register voor vindbaarheid van collega's en het vertrouwen dat we gegevens uitwisselen met de juiste partij? Wat is het verschil tussen een register en een adresboek? Wout neemt ons mee op een rollercoaster van het uitwisselen van faxnummers naar een modern stelsel van cryptografische bewijzen, waarin we vertrouwen hebben in de advertentie zelf in plaats van het telefoonboek.

In this episode, we talk about the future of credential management – Self Sovereign Identity (SSI) also known as decentralised identity. SSI is an efficient, secure and privacy enhancing solution for identity verification. It puts individuals at the centre of the verification process and is the future of identity management. Our special guest, James Monaghan, talks about how Evernym provides solutions in the area of SSI for businesses today. We talk about what SSI means, how it works, the benefits for individuals and businesses and importantly, examples of how it is being used to great effect today. For any businesses interested in learning more about how they could benefit from building an SSI or decentralised identity solution, please contact James directly. As we enter what is arguably, the start of our journey into a new era of digital innovation with huge benefits to individuals and businesses, we are excited to follow developments around the growth of Self Soverign Identity.

About Episode In this conversation, I sit down with Stepan Gershuni for the second time on this pod, the first time being in Episode 9 when we talked about the Economics of Self-Sovereign Identity. If you haven't listened to that one I suggest you do as it was a very interesting conversation that looked into how SSI can be applied to paper based and web2 models, and then dove a bit into web3. This conversation is more focused on the impact of SSI on web3, where the main conversation point is around DAOs (which is an acronym for decentralized autonomous organizations). A DAO is the web3 version of a company or a community. Think of it this way, if an NFT represents a piece of digital media, a DAO represents a whole media company. In the conversation, we discuss: What are DAOs? How DAOs are the next logical evolution of coordination mechanisms for communities & companies.
