This presentation focuses on decentralised authentication and how a decentralised key management infrastructure, providing self-certifying identifier (SCID) issuance underpinned by one-way cryptographic functions, can offer information uniqueness from captured entropy. Furthermore, a decentralised authentication system must be ledger-agnostic, with its identifiers being interoperable across ecosystems, platforms, and networks.
This presentation focuses on decentralised semantics and how the segregation of task-oriented objects within a standard layered architecture can provide a long-term solution for unifying a data language within (and between) distributed data ecosystems. From that lens, decentralised semantics is ontology-agnostic, offering a harmonisation solution between data models and data representation formats while providing a roadmap to resolve privacy-compliant data sharing between servers, networks, and across sectoral or jurisdictional boundaries.
Sam Smith, Founder of ProSapien LLC, explains how KERI (Key Event Receipt Infrastructure) is set to become a true breakthrough solution for verifiable data inputs and brings with it the promise of one DID method for all signed inputs in a digital network.
This presentation focuses on distributed governance and how a multi-stakeholder Data Governance Administration (DGA) provides the legal provision to assume responsibility for the consensual veracity of data transactions under its administrative control on behalf of the citizens and legal entities it serves. The role of a DGA aligns closely with that of a “data intermediary” as described in the European Parliament’s recently proposed Data Governance Act, serving as a mediator between those who wish to make their data available and those who seek to leverage that data.
Paul Knowles, Head of the Advisory Council at The Human Colossus Foundation, explains the duality of entry and capture characteristics in a decentralised network from an “Inputs” (data entry) versus “Semantic” (data capture) perspective. This is followed by a presentation from Drummond Reed, Chief Trust Officer at Evernym, who explains how SSI, a new form of digital identity, can enable individual identity holders to fully create and control their credentials, without being forced to request the permission of an intermediary or centralised authority, and how the Trust over IP dual-stack model of “Governance” and “Technology” is designed to underpin an entire layer of Internet-scale digital trust infrastructure.
Paul Knowles, Head of the Advisory Council at The Human Colossus Foundation, explains how OCA (Overlays Capture Architecture) aims to provide a standardised global solution for immutable data capture. This is followed by a live demo from Robert Mitwicki, Head of Human Colossus’ Technology Council, on how interoperable schema and verifiable credentials can be utilised to empower individuals by improving their right to self-determination regarding their personal data.
