A plump elderly woman presented herself at a Santander branch in Croydon North End claiming to be the 76-year-old Loose Women star.

- CIFAS national fraud investigation and database Rise in CV fraud, over 60% of fraud recorded and confirmed with CIFAS in 2014 were employment application frauds
- The Design Principles Documentation Project is capturing the design principles for using digital badges that are emerging across the 30 HASTAC/MacArthur Foundation Badges for Lifelong Learning projects funded to develop badge systems.
- Digital badge has a baked in value can we leverage that? Currently open platforms allow anyone to create a badge, add the evidence required and determine who can award the badge. Any evidence is viewable by anyone who clicks on the badge, no option for granular permissions of privacy. Potential for the badge to be faked.
- HEDD (higher education degree datacheck) provides way to check UK university awarded qualifications – cost per enquiry of £10 Spain and Belgium have a national qualifications register but its only accessible in that country. HR manager in FTSE100 company "It's very difficult to do the checking at the moment," she said. "It's quite a manual job and there's a lot of administration involved.“ Need for easy way to validate qualifications and skills, particularly internationally
- 128 bit encryption not Blockchain Development began before Blockchain was considered as a way of securing badge technology Blockchain relies on a two way trust model for access – eNetBadge access is open to anyone granted access as a viewer System will be updated as new OBI standards are released
- Organisation is set up with specific issuers of badges API can limit access to credentials – you can choose who to share the information with and how Badge can be set to be issued automatically Use authenticates identity to login and view their badges via email. Receive email when a badge is issued to them. User can upload additional evidence if necessary Badge can be shared via backpack and social media Can generate a pdf version of badges to include with CV or job application – embed into a digital document Badge validity will always point back to eNetBadges platform for security
- eCom Scotland was approached by an international awarding body for the oil exploration industry to look at alternative solutions to the problem of verification of status Operations in countries where sanctions are in place, war zones, terrorism and security threats present. Incidents of illegal operation in the industry
- For access to drilling rig need to prove identity and qualification Need to sit an exam every two years and update certification Without authentication they can’t operate and aren’t allowed onto a rig Old process required courier transfer of certificates and wallet cards Total cost of certification and couriering was over £1m per year New process no certificate printed, wallet card has QR code to link to eNetBadges Reduction in cost of verifying the qualification reduced to £30,000 per year The centres are validates for fitness to run exams every year – badge to support this too Other benefits – can revoke the certificate of the individual, of the centre running the exams and any candidates linked to that centre from central point. Advantage is you can rapidly close down certification and therefore access rapidly if any mal practice is suspected Build in OBIolescence to badge so you know cert isn’t out of date Easy for the company engaging the drilling engineer to check validity and date of operation Can cross-validate Any suspicion of individual and the certificate can immediately be revoked
- User can see their badges from the dashboard
- Awarding of badges is limited to specific personnel. Alternatively it can be linked to eNetAssess exam system and awarded automatically. These badges are micro credentials rather than aggregation of evidence However you can upload pdf evidence if required eg scan of paper cert
- Every badge has an issue number baked into it. If the badge is copied the number will be duplicated, number cannot be removed. Here you can see centre authentication and other local authenticated centres
- eNetBadges has API to allow linking with Mozilla Backpack Alternatively API can allow eNetBadges platform to be used as a Backpack and share badge from there
- Badges are awarded to centres to verify they are fit to run the exams and award accreditation This can be revoked if there is any suspicion of mal practice on the centre or the individual Mobile app for verification of badge authenticity and to manage badges. Many of the areas where operations take place there is no wifi so need simple phone based solution.
