What is a Hyperledger Indy

Bootcamp?

and BootcampBC?

Let’s face it. The status quo is not working—our personal data on the Internet is not in our control! And the companies who manage/store/exchange our information, such as Facebook and Google, aren’t necessarily looking out for us. There is a better way of managing identity on the Internet. BootcampBC will dive right in and teach you about the open source Hyperledger Indy project—a distributed public ledger—purposeBootcampBC is a place to dive in and learn about the open source Hyperledger Indy project, a distributed public ledger, purpose-built for decentralized secure and privacy respecting peer-to-peer data exchange (including personal identity). We will look at Indy from Indy from both a business and technical perspective, targeting those that want to contribute to or make use of the powerful possibilities Indy of the powerful possibilities Indy enables.

Who should attend and why?

Anyone that Tech companies, developers, designers, writers, organizers, artists and managers—anyone who wants to learn about blockchain-based Identity identity solutions in general, and Hyperledger Indy in particular.

If you’re wondering:

What is all the fuss about with “self-sovereign identity” in general?
What business problems are solved with Indy

, what

?
What is the underlying technology?
What is the Verifiable Organizations Network and BC's recently announced OrgBook service?

Then this bootcamp is for you. and how can you either contribute to Indy itself or build new solutions on top of Indy. This includes: tech companies, developers, designers, writers, organizers, artists, and managers.

What you will learn

In this workshop, participants Participants will be introduced to the the Linux Foundation's open source source Hyperledger Indy project project. Indy supports exciting new standards-track technologies such as:

decentralized identifiers (DIDs)

,

verifiable credentials (VCs)

and

zero-knowledge

proofs

proofs (ZKPs)

Once . Once introduced to the concepts of self-sovereign identity and the use of DIDs, VCs and ZKPs, the participants will gain hands-on experience by building their own Hyperledger Indy agent to verify and issue VCs based on the work of the Government of British Columbia’s Columbia’s Verifiable Organization Organizations Network open source initiative. This is the technology behind the the recently announced BC OrgBook BC service service.

Presenters will Bootcamp presenters include core maintainers of the Hyperledger Indy and and VON open open source projects, and representatives of the the Sovrin Foundation. The Sovrin Foundation is a non-profit that provides the legal, business and technical framework for the Sovrin Network, a global, public instance of Hyperledger Indy whose nodes are run by a group of (currently) over more than 70 organizations around around the world. The Sovrin Network is intended to provide a DNS-like backbone of identity for the Internet, enabling a new era in online privacy and security.
