Main Event:
A presentation by Drummond Reed on the "state of SSI". Drummond is Chief Trust Officer at Evernym, one of the primary contributors to the Hyperledger Indy, Ursa, and Aries projects, and co-editor of the W3C Decentralized Identifier (DID) Core Specification. Drummond has been involved ever since Indy was launched into Hyperledger under the Identity Working Group auspices. Since the dawn of the decentralized identity/SSI movement, Drummond has been actively working on standards, community development, and governance frameworks for decentralized identity and SSI. He is also one of the founding Steering Committee members of the Trust over IP (ToIP) Foundation, a separate sister project under the Linux Foundation dedicated to standardizing an interoperable stack based on the core standards for SSI: W3C Verifiable Credentials and DIDs. Drummond will provide an overview of the "state of SSI" based on updates from the recent Internet Identity Workshop and discuss what the roadmap looks like in 2021.
