What does it take to move self-sovereign identity (SSI) out of the lab and into production? How should practitioners think about pilots, trust frameworks, and implementation plans? Our February 12, 2020 webinar walks you through adopting an SSI mindset, with a focus on use cases and trust frameworks within the higher education sector—although the content will be applicable to any industry. Tune in for: - An introduction to SSI - Leading SSI use cases in higher education - Practical steps for starting your SSI journey

Please write them in the Zoom Q&A, and
we’ll cover them after the presentation.
Please note, this webinar is being recorded

5. Self-Sovereign Identity
answers the question:
Who is on the other end of
my connection?

6. It’s a whole new way
to move and prove digital data:
And it will transform the digital world.

8. With a single tap or click, you can:
● Login
● Checkout
● Apply
● Register
● Authenticate
● Message

9. How does it work?

10. 1: Secure Connections
A B
“Connection
Broker”
email provider
WhatsApp
Facebook
Data hub
The old way
Connection brokers
establish and maintain
digital connections
between parties
A B
The new way
Two parties can
independently form
secure, unique and
persistent connections.
No 3rd party needed
Secure connections enable trusted communications

11. Data watermarking gives data cryptographic superpowers
Anyone can verify the authenticity of the data, including:
• Who issued the data
• Was it only issued to the presenter
• Has it been tampered with
• Has it been revoked
Watermarked data - Verifiable Credentials - can be checked by anyone
Any data, about
anything, issued
by anyone
2: Data watermarking (Verifiable Credentials)

12. Watermarked data can be verified using public key
cryptography
The public keys of ‘issuers’ needs to be stored
somewhere
• Trusted: Run by many organizations
• Secure: Tamperproof
• Ordered: Chronological data
These are the characteristics of distributed ledgers
The public key directory gives everyone the ability to verify data
3: Trusted Public Key Directory

13. The Three Pillars of Self-Sovereign Identity
1. secure

2. digital data

14. And the best part?
Open Standards, Open Source
With no vendor lock-in
…just like the internet

17. A day in the life with SSI

18. Create peer-to-peer connection
with college

19. Issued first
student credential issued

20. Meeting with course professor
Issues grades and credits

21. Login with digital wallet
Authorization with credential
No username or password

22. Message from skydiving club:
join for the year?
Secure, private auditable response
New skydiving club credential

23. Internship advertised on poster
Scans QR code - connection offer
Request to share data to apply

24. Scans QR code on tablet
Shares data
> valid ticket, over 18
Event ticket as a credential

25. All of this is possible with open source SSI tools today
All use cases interact with the same student wallet (app)
Leave existing IT in place - no need to rip-and-replace
You can start with a single use case - start small and scale

26. Where does SSI really make a difference?

27. Our life is fragmented, distributed

Library

28. We have multiple ‘silos’ for identity

29. The answer is often ‘build a bigger silo!’

30. Which committee should manage identity policy?
How can we connect all these different systems?
We don’t want another 3 year ‘mega IT program’

31. What if the student
was the point of integration?

32. Putting the student at the center
of her digital life
You
University
Employer
1. Who issued it?
2. Only to you?
