"The missing link between Human Trust and Digital Trust Assurance"
...
digital trustworthiness - is about notice semantics so that people can trust and "see" who (if not oneself) is in control and accountable for personal information.
for Human Identity that is Soverign Self (HISS)
Digital surveillance is inherently untrustworthy and transparency over surveillance is missing for people. Surveillance transparency is necessary to achieve human trustworthiness, and control independent of technology. There is no trust for human tech only trust frameworks for enterprises and tech itself. In the work here privacy is understood as human/individual centric, not business, legal and technical centric. This design rule is critical for trustworthy (including digital identity) infrastructure. For this purpose this task force is tasked with specifying a credential that can be used with and for any identity management technology, including SSI, using International ISO/IEC standards and related Kantara Specifications.
This task force is tasked with the specification of the Privacy Controller Credential for accountable (to the individual) surveillance transparency, providence and accountability.

| StatusACTIVE | Notice & Consent for people relies on clear communication.Decentralized identity relies on contextual legal semantics and notices by implementors in order to be compliant with sovereign data rights. These semantics need to be standardized to be used by decentralized identifier based technologies for human interoperable data governance. The more unified across ecosystems the notice and risk semantics, the more human centric the service becomes as it lowers the burden on humans and increases the understanding of risks, benefits and (human) consent. | Specification proposal: to extend Decentralized Semantic Governance for a dynamic data control ( DDC) architecture for active control transparency that people can use.

Privacy Controller Receipt Credential (Control Provenance Credential)
This credential is essential for generating digital notice and consent, it contains the legal entity name, which is bound as a credential by the accountable person as defined by their role in the organization.

Privacy Controller Credential For Decentralized Human Data Surveillance Governance aka Notice and Consent
This working effort specifies a regulatory controller from existing standards that apply and can be mapped to any legal authorization for data processing.
This credential is comprised of the legal entity name and accountability profile as specified by regulation utilizing ISO/IEC 29100 Privacy & Security Techniques. An open (no-fee, no barrier) and international standard from ISO (the Internationational Organization for Standardization) and the IEC (International ElectroTechnical Commission). The use of this standard for the creation of records and receipts is critical for scaleable and interoperable Decentralized Data Governance interoperability between technical domains and legal jurisdictions.
What is this for:
This specification is for the regulation and governance of surveillance and digital identity technology independently of any digital identifiers or trust frameworks. The objective is for the this specification to work with and enhance digital surveillance assurances already provided by work in ToiP. The credentialling process benchmarks the privacy, security and compliance of digital identity technologies with international standards.
The aim of this task force outputs is to create a specification and by so doing implement ISO/IEC international standards to enable regulatory interoperability with human controls and transparency that scale for any authorized surveillance context. To do this, this effort builds upon standards, incorporating additional technical specifications in order to support ToiP community efforts.
Challenges being addressed with the PCC specification have been raised in the Kantara ANCR WG, W3C DPV CG, ISO/IEC 27560 Technical Committee's, CIO Council, DIACC Special Interest Group, IETF GNAP, and VC's with DiD's. The overarching objective is therefore to provide a specification that supports these community efforts.
- The The accountable person may or may not be an employee of the organization.
- Different jurisdictions name/define and reference this role differently
- Some jurisdictions, like the UK have a data controller registry (DCR), where this binding is public and legally required (benefit in this case, challenge where absent) and the name of the accountable person is publicly available in ICO DCR. (using blinding identity taxonomy)
- Some jurisdictions, like the EU require an accountable data controller representative in the jurisdiction where a service is operating, in order to address legal data privacy and security issues that may arise.
- 2 or more Controllers might be accountable for processing of personal data.
- Identify in context of service for any user the controller and accountable person.
- The privacy law in some jurisdictions, can itself break privacy law in other jurisdictions by requiring the accountable person information to be published publicly,
- Extend a privacy assurance profile by binding Specifies how to axquire a VC (in this case the Privacy Controller Credential) for trust assurance for privacy assurance.
- Developing a Unified Notice Control Language that is interoperable.
The proposed solution:
Develop this controller credential specification with a set of rules for the use, maintenance, and lifecycle of a privacy controller credential.
To illustrate:
A record format to capture the bound controller information, which can be used to present a notice of control according to context, and a notice of who the accountable person is according to purpose of credential use.
- Gap of an international notice & control protocol and semantics for governance interoperability between domains and jurisdictions.
Specification Objective
- Develop an extensible controller credential format.
The specification shall The specification should provide:
- a record format that MUST blind the identity of the accountable person,
- be usable as a linked data in a notice of control receipt, which provides only the controller information required for the purpose of credential use.
- record , so as to and provide a profile of the bound controller credentials in a manner that can show the controlling person before, during and after the use of a decentralized digital identifier.
Details for Risk and Liability Management
- Provenance of control starts control providence that begins with the person who is accountable and bound making the assertion to the accountable role using laws and standards to bind privacy rights request to a legal entity (who is liable).

Decentralized Data Governance
Supporting Decentralized Data Controls with Identity Governance for Data subject’s (data) rights. This task force mission is to enhance identity and data governance interoperability with standardized notice of Control and accountability for processing personal data (with the ToiP layered governance model.)
The key challenge this initial specification is aimed to address is systemic (and broadcasted) transparency over the controller of personal information, so that data controls can be used automatically to enable dynamic data control.
Unlike in physical world, the processors of your personal data are invisible. This is why the identity of the data controller is required in all legal privacy frameworks and is the most common and similar legal component for processing personal data. This makes the notice of control an ideal focus for ToiP governance interoperability.
Online, there can be many processors, personal identifiers can be shared and aggregated without any transparency, personal data may continuously be processed and people are completely unaware and at risk of this surveillance. This is why the promise of SSI is so attractive and why profiling and aggregation using identifiers is specifically called out in privacy legislation as high risk to privacy in which processing is required to be more (proportionally transparent). What's more, even the Controller, might contain multiple legal entities. This challenges identity management technologies for privacy compliance and human trust.
To address a key part of this challenge a specification for listing the Control Provenance, focusing on the legal entities and accountable people in control of processing personal data as the first spec to providing the needed transparency (or Notice) for the control of processing, required for trustworthy processing.
This specification will provide a nested schema to record a privacy controller credential for transparency over the control of processing. This privacy controller credential is intended to use a stack of standards and specifications to provide a standard set of identity control semantics, that can then be used in notice and notification by people to control personal data directly to provide Privacy assurance.
Decentralized Semantic Governance Stack
is the focus of the first Discussion Paper, which aims to look at the overlaps of digital identity surveillance technology and regulator led (regulatory) data governance. This will present the overall architecture and the contribution of certain standards used in the credential, as well as how digital identity specifications and protocols can be deployed to implement decentralized data governance.

Standards
ISO/IEC 29100
- interop / usable for applying 29184 (as a compliance tool)
- interop with 27560 - Kantara Consent Receipt Work
- future - to use 27560 to interop with 2750 - Privacy by Design
- pending open access and usability of ISO Spec, e.g. through a Kantara or National Standards body liaison
Specifications
- Kantara ANCR WG, AuthC protocol and V2 Notice Record and Consent Receipt Specification (for implementing the AuthC protocol) (parallel work)
- W3C DPV CG Specification for notice record and receipt semantics
baseline The Identity and Data Governance semantic based line is the international ISO/IEC 29100 security and privacy techniques framework, this is mapped to Legal jurisdiction notice schema and the differnces differences and risks (in terms of rights and the performance of data controls) is provided as a component of the notice of control.
The risks are used to provided a progressive framework for people to self-mitigate the risks and themselves drive the development of dynamic digital identity governance interoperability. Translating a local governance schema to the internationalized schema base for governance controls and privacy rights comparison. Then, to overlay the next schema for localized identity and data governance controls, which utilized the same surveillance and privacy semantic governance framework in order to indicate the level of data governance interoperability.
In this process the OCA utilizes this stack of standards and specifications to syncratically harmonize data portability and control with purpose driven interoperability for data and identity governance.
This is accomplished with the standard for specifying a purpose for notice and consent.
The Trustworthy Transparency Specification StackUsing the Credential
The use of an international standards framework for providing standarized notice semantics is critical to harmonize or highlight different security, privacy and identity management governance requirements. Standardized semantics, usable for any data governance is also critical for human interoperability/usability across domains which is the key driver of this work and effort at ToiP .
