"The missing link between Human Trust and Digital Trust Assurance" 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.

Overview
Decentralized Data Governance for Data subject’s (data) rights. This task force mission is to enhance identity and data governance interoperability with the use of ToiP governance model with this specification for a privacy controller credential and the Unified Notice Control Language, for data governance and control.
Decentralized Semantic Governance Stack
The Identity and Data Governance Stack of Specifications used to create this specification are designed to utilize OCA to overlay legal notice and consent schema's on to the existing ISO/IEC 29100 framework for jurisdictional privacy/surveillance notice profiles.
Then to enable identity governance interoperability by translating a local governance schema to the internationalized schema base for governance controls and privacy rights. Then, to overly the next schema for localized identity and data governance controls, which utilized the same surveillance and privacy semantic governance framework for identity and data control interoperability.
In this process the OCA utilizes this stack of standards and specifications to syncratically harmonize purpose driven interoperability for meta-data and identity governance (by extending International standards)
The Stack
- The use of international standards framework for security, privacy and identity management is critical for interoperability of data and identity controls internationally.
- management of data decentralized identifiers, VC's and the ISO 27710 series,Security Techniques - Information Security Management Systems -
- ISO/ IEC 29100 Security Techniques - Privacy Framework (for identifier governance)
- ISO/IEC 29184 Onlin,e Privacy Notice & Consent
- ISO/IEC 27560 Consent Record Structure (Kantara Notice & Consent Receipt specifications)
- Decentralized Proof of Notice for orgs
- Decentralized Proof of Processing (aka consent) for people
- W3C Data Control Vocabulary ( maps legal semantics to ontology) to harmonize decentralized legal semantics with machine readable semantics for linking identifiers and personal data.
- OCA Specification for Operational Semantic Notice
- conformity assessment vectors for OCA schema's
- legal schema overlay from localized privacy law schema
- legal schema conformity assessment to ISO baseline
- legal schema overlay conformity assessment to a privacy law schema
- conformity assessment report on legal adequacy for privacy rigxzhts and associated infrormation controls
- conformity assessment vectors for OCA schema's
Background
- A key challenge to interoperability is addressed with the International ISO/IEC standards framework 29100 and 29184. This provides a semantic control framework to address the lack of semantic harmonization for personal data control which provides security for the portability and control of private information and is a required for people to be able to independently consent and control personal information. This challenge first presented the W3C DoNotTrack Conference in Berkeley California. 'Opening Up the Online Infrastructure' .
- This turned into a Kantara Specification effort in 2014 and now, last year, ISO voted to fast track this to a standard 27560, to be used with ISO 29184 to address what was know by the phrased of the Biggest Lie on the Internet, was a focus of a movie Terms and Condition's May Apply. With an international governance rule set, people can use independently of Terms and Conditions.
- With the success of this work as an international standard this Task Force aims to collaborate to support an International data governance authority framework as an open resource for master data control transparency over personal information (with standardized notice)
Requirements Privacy Controller Credential Specification (in Open Consent Groups' OPN Architecture)
Providence chain starts with the person who is accountable bound to a legal entity.
Legal Entity Accountability Levels according to Tiers of Privacy Risk
Tier 0 - No-Risk Indicated : Self Asserted Binding with a privacy policy - providing minimum Privacy Risk Assurance (trustworthy Transparency)
- A non registered Broadcast listing
Tier 1 - Policy Controller - Low Risk - doesn't process personal data electronically, does not collect or process personal information, and for any personal identifier, this is minimized and secure, has internal security for data of employee's
Tier 2 - Privacy (data) Controller - Does process personal data for commercial benefit and use
Tier 3 - Very High Risk - invisible public surveillance, surveillance of children /vulnerable people etc Beneficial owners (required)
Tier 4 - Controller Operator - Provides Registration services for Privacy Controller Credentials, Mitigates Privacy Risk with codes of conduct and certifications that accredit codes of practice. Controller can then register to these codes of conduct and practice

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 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,
- Specifies how to axquire a VC (in this case the Privacy Controller Credential) for trust assurance for privacy assurance
- 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 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 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.
- control providence that begins with the person making the assertion to the accountable role using laws and standards to bind privacy rights request to a legal entity.
Decentralized Data Governance
Decentralized Data Governance 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.
Used to make credential
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 is the international ISO/IEC 29100 security and privacy techniques framework, this is mapped to Legal jurisdiction notice schema and the differences and risks (in terms of rights and the performance of data controls) is provided as a component of the notice of control.
Using 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 .
