From 30 MAR 2021 meeting - input from Marcos: What form can practical trusted registries take? - Centralized - Decentralized (Permissioned, Permissionless, Federated) - Other? Which information is necessary to register in a trusted registry by an issuer when a verifiable credential is issued? - Hash of the content - Status of the credential - Link to the issuer (DID + digital signature) - Link to the subject Which information is necessary to verify against a trusted registry when they are presented to verifiers? - The issuer as an authorized entity - The status of the credential - The content/claims of the credential Who is responsible for defining or maintaining lists of entities authorized to be issuers of specific verifiable credentials in specific contexts or jurisdictions (i.e., the laboratories authorized to issue certificates of COVID-19 tests in Honduras) How do we specify in the verifiable credential the trusted registry where the proofs are registered? How do we establish a standard for both centralized and decentralized registries to store and make available the proofs in a way that is common to everyone, so once the verifier figures out the trusted ledger to be checked and the access point to it (which should be able to do directly from the credential), the protocol to accomplish verification is standardized |
: I believe items 5-11 below is where our focus needs to be and where we can offer real value.
