- Employment - Finance
- Education - HR
- AML
- Healthcare - Travel
- and others
-
Propose solutions for the following design questions
Verifier
- How to discover what credential types are available in the ecosystem?
- Trust registry (verifiable data registry*?*)
- How can I trust that this issuer is a particular organization? (KYI)
- How do I trust they DID / public key?
- How do I trust that they are allowed to issue particular VC types?
- How do I verify if credentials are not revoked (across many revocation mechanisms)?
- How do I direct holders to the right issuers (if they are missing creds)?
- How can I anonymously poll holders for specific VC types? How can I do this publicly (if communication is not initiated by the holder)?
Issuer
- How to communicate business and technical credential requirements to prospective holders?
- What Regulation does the Credential need to adhere to?
Holder
- How to discover parties that accept credentials of the types that I have?
- Where can I use these credentials to avail services?
- Where can I acquire credentials to get access to specific service?
Ecosystem
- How to ensure that Marketplace is decentralized / does not create vendor lock-in?
- How build a system that will incentivize issuers / supply side?
- How all of the above works while preserving privacy and data protection regulation?
- Align with Credential Manifest group
- As a holder, how do I discover list of know issuers?
- Can we come up with the syntax of describing services and issuers?
- It's OK to start centralized
- Interfaces should be standardized (PE, CM, data registry)
- Adoption vs. Decentralization
- It's important on what level the decentralization is happening? Having decentralization higher up results in poorer UX.
- Example: Blockstack. Fully integrated ⇒ impairs developers
- Standardised data model but customized UX layer
- Starting points for the VCM work:
- CM, DID interop work, did:web
- What are the group short-term deliverables?
- Architecture
- Use Cases
- List of pain points per persona
