- Capture Rights, Responsibilities & Risks for youth
- Recover Wallet - mitigations e.g. sharding, social key recovery (if 3 of my 5 friends say I am who I claim to be, then they can support recovery), which is a gap in the market. Risk is it's the only wallet, but can be rebuilt from the history of the ledger, whereas w/credentials have to return to the issuer. Especially an issue for target audience.
- Security consideration - back-up and restore - how is it protected.
- Age parameters = 16-24 - might be a verification method in the future but currently open to all
- Should not be accessible to under 16's, Debate - should parental consent be required for 16-18 year old's. Depends on the jurisdiction, so dependent on location and local law = contextual. If required and complicated, then would have to be 18+ only. GDPR compliance. Outside normal Unicef scope. Need to see in the s/w T's and C's may specify over 18 only.
