Presentation

Business Automation in the New Economy of Movement - Tram Vo will present the latest news from Mobi.

(Presentation Recording)

Vo has written a blog for HF about their Web3 infrastructure (Citopia and the ITN) and their multiparty use cases (pilots) use Citopia and the ITN (uses Hyperledger Fabric).

MOBI launched in 2018

A not-for-profit and a startup
Now creating standards for automation, to enable scaleability.
Trusted Identity is important for business automation. 40% of internet traffic is malicious bots.
The convergence of new technologies (IoT, AI, 5G wireless networks, blockchain + Zero Knowledge Proofs, Edge/Cloud computing, GPS, GovTech) enables cross-business/cross-industry trusted identities + transactions without the need for centralized platforms

Ecosystem Business Automation Requirements

Zero Trust Authentication: every entity must be identified and authenticated for each transaction; all data/credentials/claims must be non-repudiable
Data Privacy: regulatory compliant, access limited to intended recipients
Data Security and Selective Disclosure: Edge transactions (not connecting to databases); ability to selectively disclose/verify info at moment of transaction (data not stored)
Affordable, Interoperable, Scalable, and Extensible: standards-based, platform agnostics, work with legacy systems
Decentralized infastructure: community owned and operated, open-source

Self-Sovereign Digital Twins (SSDTs)

SSDTs can auto-generate verifiable credentials, only accessible by owner/controller
Can authenticate identity and selectively disclose pertinent data (as credentials) without connecting to centralized databases
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards-based
- W3C Decentralized Identity (DIDs standards
- W3C Virtual Identity (VC) standards

Separation for Further Decentralization

MOBI is technology agnostic, based on W3C DID + VC Standards using Zero-Knowledge Proofs
Private comms channel: Citopia (layer 3) - Issuer, holder, verifier
Public comms channel: ITN (layer 2) - DIDs registry
Currently layers to Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum

Example of a Distributed Identity: Battery Birth Certificate (a.k.a. - "battery passport")

- Now in pilot stage, with 2 OEMs (historic for them to participate in the same pilot)

Example: Proof of Location Generation Using Citopia, ZK Service

- Historically, vendors needed to physically go to lot to check location of each vehicle. (Accenture estimates $4-5M annual savings in US if this can be automated)
- ZK Proof has latitude, longitude - geo-fenced location of the dealership. Does not have VIN in clear text.

Completed and In Progress Multiparty Business Automation Pilots:

Citopia vinTRAK

Automation of eTitling/Registration
Dealer floorplan audit
Road usage charges / tolls
Vehicle mainenance and repair
Emissions tracking (pilot with the European Commission)
- Final Report of the Exploratory Research Project, Blockchain for Transport (BC4T)
