Do we need dlts or blockchains to implement SSI or DIDs?
By Luca Boldrin
What is the real value that the ledger brings to SSI, this is what he expects to answer in the presentation.
Some points that he made:
- This is the result of his long discussion with his colleagues and may be biased as he works for a CA company.
- Luca outlined the gist of how PKI works including the fact that a list of CAs were anchored on the Browser and in applications like the Adobe Trust List where it is used for digital signatures.
- He outlined how the standard case works in the exchange of credentials for Alice in the context of an Issuing Party (IP) Faber University.
The Consent Layer in the India Stack by Ajay Jadhav
Although the India stack has had many detractors due to its reliance on the Aadhaar number, the most widely deployed national ID, the India Stack continues to evolve.
Most of the criticism is related to the overreach and surveillance capabilities of the system; however the privacy layer and protection for individual entities are being back-filled through a series of supreme court rulings and bills. The India consent layer which is the latest layer will strengthen the rights of citizens to consent or deny communications from third parties (adverts).
Although Ajay only had a short time, he ably presented on the consent layer, which drew a host of questions on the various aspects. We worked on an extension of about 10 minutes to the call due to demand and interest from the community. Hopefully he will present this architecture in greater detail in a later call.
