Peer DIDs: a secure and scalable method for DIDs that’s entirely off-ledger –...SSIMeetup
https://ssimeetup.org/peer-dids-secure-scalable-method-dids-off-ledger-daniel-hardman-webinar-42/
Daniel Hardman, Chief Architect, Evernym / Secretary, Technical Governance Board – Sovrin Foundation will show how Peer DIDs will allow off-chain transactions for the self-sovereign identity (SSI) world.
Most documentation about decentralized identifiers (DIDs) describes them as identifiers that are rooted in a public source of truth like a blockchain, a database, a distributed filesystem, or similar. This publicness lets arbitrary parties resolve the DIDs to an endpoint and keys. It is an important feature for many use cases. However, the vast majority of relationships between people, organizations, and things have simpler requirements. When Alice(Corp|Device) and Bob want to interact, there are exactly and only 2 parties in the world who should care: Alice and Bob. Instead of arbitrary parties needing to resolve their DIDs, only Alice and Bob do. Peer DIDs are perfect in these cases. In many ways, peer DIDs are to public, blockchain-based DIDs what Ethereum Plasma or state channels are to on-chain smart contracts— or what Bitcoin’s Lightning Network is to on-chain cryptopayments. They move interactions off-chain, but offer options to connect back to a chain-based ecosystem as needed. Peer DIDs create the conditions for people, organizations, and things to have full control of their end of the digital relationships they sustain.
India Stack was built using commodity technology and modest investments. It leveraged a first-principles approach to solve for the economic primitives of identity, payments, and data. A key part of India Stack is Aadhaar, which functions as an identity verification platform that can integrate with any service requiring that verification. Aadhaar was designed to be inclusive, protect user privacy, and serve users in local languages indefinitely.

This document summarizes a presentation about decentralized digital identities. It discusses past approaches where identity data was siloed or federated through centralized identity providers. A new generation uses distributed ledgers like blockchains to allow for self-sovereign identities through decentralized identifiers (DIDs). DIDs are cryptographically verifiable identifiers stored on a distributed ledger along with DID documents containing public keys and other identity data. Projects are working to develop verifiable credentials and standards like DID, DID Auth, and DKMS to enable decentralized, self-sovereign identity management. Permissionless systems like Poker face challenges in achieving full decentralization without trusted third parties.

FIDO Authentication: Unphishable MFA for AllFIDO Alliance
This document discusses the growing adoption of FIDO authentication standards for passwordless, phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication. It predicts that in 2022, enterprise passwordless deployments will grow rapidly as mobile platforms provide consumer-ready solutions at scale. The document outlines how FIDO specifications offer simpler and stronger authentication using public key cryptography backed by major technology companies. It notes that over 5 billion devices now support FIDO and more than 150 million people are using passwordless methods each month. Government policies are evolving to recognize FIDO authentication as the preferred choice and gold standard for phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication.
Passwords are passé. WebAuthn is simpler, stronger and ready to goMichael Furman
Passwords are insecure and can be compromised through brute force attacks or phishing. Two-factor authentication (2FA) provides stronger authentication but existing 2FA methods have vulnerabilities. WebAuthn is a new web authentication standard that allows for simpler and more secure 2FA using public-key cryptography. With WebAuthn, user credentials never leave the user's device and are not stored on servers, providing stronger security compared to passwords and other 2FA methods. WebAuthn is gaining adoption in browsers and services and offers a more secure path forward for authentication.
- NIST guidelines support limited use of biometrics for authentication and recommend it only be used as part of multi-factor authentication along with a physical authenticator. Biometrics have limitations including probabilistic matching and inability to easily revoke templates.
- When biometrics are used, NIST requires a false match rate of 1 in 1000 or better, implementation of liveness detection, and preference for local rather than central matching to mitigate attacks.
- For AAL2 authentication on mobile, NIST recommends using multi-factor cryptographic software authenticators activated by a second factor like biometrics. Examples include FIDO protocols and Android's CryptoObject for authenticating to remote servers.
- Behavioral biometrics analyzing user
1. The document proposes adding biometric eye recognition technology to ATMs to improve security over traditional password and card based verification.
2. With eye recognition ATMs, the ATM would capture an image of the user's eye and compare it to a stored biometric template instead of just verifying a PIN.
3. This adds an extra layer of security by ensuring the actual cardholder is present instead of just relying on knowledge of the card details and PIN.
This document provides an overview of smart card technology. It defines a smart card as a pocket-sized card with embedded integrated circuits that can store and process information for various applications. Smart cards have more capabilities than magnetic stripe cards, including storing user identification, financial information, and performing complex calculations. Examples of smart card uses include banking, mobile phones, secure login for computers/networks, and transportation ticketing. The advantages of smart cards are their longer lifespan, ability to store multiple applications on one card, and more secure storage of data compared to magnetic stripe cards. However, smart cards also have disadvantages like not being tamper-proof and the potential to be lost, stolen, or have bugs.
The webinar discussed how Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) can be used to establish digital identity for organizations through verifiable credentials. It explained that LEIs uniquely identify legal entities and are issued by accredited registrars. The webinar then showed how LEIs could be incorporated into verifiable credentials to prove an entity's identity on blockchain networks. It provided an example process where an entity receives an LEI and verifiable credential from a registrar, and can then issue credentials to employees to represent the entity digitally. Potential use cases for this approach include regulatory filings, supply chain management, and executing business contracts through verifiable credentials.
This document describes a fingerprint authentication system for ATMs. It discusses capturing fingerprint images using an optical sensor, extracting minutiae features like ridge endings and bifurcations, and matching fingerprints by comparing minutiae triplets. The system aims to provide biometric security for ATM transactions by verifying a user's identity based on their fingerprint and PIN code. It proposes encrypting fingerprint images during transmission and extracting encryption keys from the images to protect biometric data.
FIDO and the Future of User AuthenticationFIDO Alliance
The document discusses the problems with password-based authentication and introduces FIDO authentication as a solution. It summarizes that FIDO authentication uses public key cryptography to allow users to authenticate with a single gesture on their device, without needing shared secrets or passwords. FIDO authentication is being adopted by major companies and specifications are standardized, with over 500 authenticators certified for compatibility and security. The presentation promotes FIDO as the future of secure, usable authentication.
The Shift from Federated to Decentralized IdentityEvernym
Up until recently, the majority of digital identity systems have been federated, where a small group of “identity providers” supply individuals with a digital identity that can be used to access other websites and services within the federation. Now we’re seeing the shift to decentralized identity solutions and open ecosystems based on verifiable credentials, where anyone can participate, issue, and verify.
In the first of a new series on digital identity and government, we invited leading experts from Accenture and Evernym to discuss the state of digital identity systems within the public sector and the reasons why government interest in decentralized models continues to increase.
We covered:
- The key differences between federated and decentralized identity systems
- An analysis of a few notable government-led projects, such as Aadhaar (India), Verify (UK), eIDAS (EU), and the Ontario Digital Identity Program (Canada)
- What decentralization means for portability, scalability, flexibility, and privacy
- How governments and commercial organizations can enhance existing federated identity systems with verifiable credentials
This document describes an automated teller machine (ATM) with enhanced security features that uses facial recognition technology. It discusses how current ATMs use cards and PINs for identity verification and the shortcomings of this approach. The proposed ATM would use a camera to capture a live image of the customer's face and compare it to a stored facial image to verify their identity before dispensing cash, providing a more secure method of authentication. The document outlines how the facial recognition system would work and the benefits of using biometric identification to protect both consumers and financial institutions.
An ATM with facial recognition and iris scanning is proposed to improve security. It would use cameras to capture images of the user's face and iris to match against stored images associated with their bank account, replacing the need for an ATM card and PIN. If the live and stored images match, the user would be verified. This system aims to make ATM transactions more reliable, efficient and secure compared to existing card/PIN verification methods. The document provides background on ATMs, biometric identification techniques, and describes how a facial/iris recognition system could work and the potential benefits.
This document describes the design of a unique security system using fingerprint authentication and passwords. The system uses a fingerprint sensor and password entry for verification before automatically unlocking an entry door. It also includes a camera that takes photos when invalid entries are made, and a GSM module that sends entry information to the owner. The system aims to provide high security for places requiring unique identity verification like offices, banks, and nuclear facilities.
OpenID for Verifiable Credentials is a family of protocols supporting implementation of applications with Verifiable Credentials, i.e. verifiable credential issuance, credential presentation, and pseudonyms authentication.
This document outlines a 3-step roadmap for implementing the Once-Only Principle (OOP) in Neuquén, Argentina to improve government services. Step 1 involves connecting authentic data sources to allow data sharing and prevent duplication. Step 2 involves redesigning processes around a citizen's lifecycle and coordinating processes between agencies. Step 3 aims to liberate unified data services to empower citizens through applications and achieve a "My ONE-STOP SHOP". The goal is to transition from traditional paperwork to integrated, online services that eliminate redundant requests and empower citizens.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) come into effect earlier this year, ushering in the most significant change to European data protection laws in twenty years. The regulation impacts not only impact firms resident in the European Union (EU), but around the world, as any organization doing business with EU citizens must comply with the regulation.
FIDO Alliance standards were created from the outset with a “privacy by design” approach and are a strong fit for GDPR compliance. Crucially, FIDO delivers authentication with no third-party involvement or tracking between accounts and services. And when it comes to biometrics, FIDO standards prevent this information from being stored and matched in servers – it never leaves the user’s device – and FIDO(R) Certified devices do not allow for any biometric data to be captured.
This presentation includes:
- Key GDPR considerations when deploying strong authentication
- Where FIDO Authentication relates to GDPR articles on data protection, consent of data subject and data subject rights
- How FIDO can help your organization meet GDPR requirements
1. The document discusses biometric authentication in India's Aadhaar system, which aims to provide unique identification for every Indian using biometrics and other data.
2. It provides an overview of biometric authentication, noting advantages like increased security but also security concerns if biometric data is compromised. Fingerprints are the most common type of biometric used.
3. While Aadhaar could help reduce fraud and errors, issues around data security, privacy, lack of identity proof for some residents, and outsourcing of data collection threaten privacy. Whether it is a game changer or privacy threat depends on how these issues are addressed.
This presentation discusses biometrics technology, including its definition, history, current uses, and future applications. Biometrics refers to identifying individuals by their unique physical or behavioral traits, and modern biometrics uses characteristics like iris patterns, fingerprints, facial features, and voiceprints. While early forms of biometrics identification have existed for centuries, technologies have advanced significantly in recent decades. Biometrics is now widely used for security and access control across various industries and applications. Looking ahead, the presentation argues biometrics should replace outdated password systems and be further integrated into infrastructure, with appropriate security and privacy protections.

The Super Broken Story of the True Digital IdentityManah Khalil
A true portable and reusable Digital Identity does not exist today. A federated identity is mostly used in low risk use cases and has yet to attain the adoption of a real passport or ID. In addition, federated identities are offered at the expense of privacy. Enterprise federation is mostly limited between businesses. A true digital identity is one that can find adoption and usage across consumer, business and enterprise use cases without sacrificing user privacy, scalability of infrastructure or the increase of liability due to a centralized user profile repository. We have the technology and building blocks today to build such a digital
identity, and its availability would unleash a wide array of use
cases.
The document provides an overview and introduction to the Authenticate 2021 conference. It discusses the growing need for strong user authentication given increased cyberattacks. It summarizes the FIDO Alliance's work in developing open authentication standards like WebAuthn and U2F to enable simpler and more secure authentication using public key cryptography and moving away from password-based systems. The document outlines the growing adoption of FIDO standards by companies and devices. It previews sessions and speakers at the conference and next steps for the FIDO Alliance to further authentication security and adoption.
Biometric Identification Evolves to Provide Unprecedented Security & ReliabilitySamsung SDS America
Since it was first introduced in 1858, biometric technology has come a long way. Today, highly advanced, highly accurate biometric technologies can authenticate identity using a person’s fingerprint, iris/eye, facial features, and voice, to name a few. With the rise in identity and data theft, the global financial services industry is ramping up its use of biometrics to provide convenient, reliable, and highly secure protection.
Introduction to FIDO's Identity Verification & Binding Initiative FIDO Alliance
The document is a presentation from the FIDO Alliance about establishing an Identity Verification and Binding Working Group. The working group will define criteria for remote identity proofing using government IDs and biometrics. It will create certification programs to evaluate identity verification solutions. The initial focus is on specifying requirements for remote document verification and facial matching during identity proofing. The goal is to provide guidance to help online services strengthen identity assurance when using FIDO authentication without passwords.
This document discusses authentication methods used in Hong Kong, including two-factor authentication (2FA). It summarizes how the FIDO standard fits well with Hong Kong's requirements, having been adopted by several banks and other organizations. The document also outlines some lessons learned from implementing FIDO in Hong Kong, including the need for broad handset support. It explores how FIDO could be expanded to other uses beyond authentication.
Governments seek identity solutions that can deliver not just improved Security – but also Privacy, Interoperability, and better Customer Experiences. FIDO delivers on these key policy priorities.
Technical Principles of FIDO AuthenticationFIDO Alliance
The document provides an overview of FIDO authentication including:
1. How FIDO authentication works by using an authenticator to verify the user and perform the authentication without revealing identity attributes.
2. The FIDO ecosystem involves authenticators, clients, servers, and metadata to understand authenticator security characteristics.
3. FIDO supports a range of authenticators from platform-based to roaming and different user verification methods while keeping user verification data private.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
