Opportunity to “own” the concept of digital trust and convey the real-world benefits of the stack for citizens, consumers, businesses.
Crucial to distinguish Trust over IP from other communities/organizations (e.g. Sovrin)
Charles Walton suggests there are three tiers to the Trust over IP message:
What is digital trust?
What is Trust over IP doing with other groups?
How do companies for different sectors coverage on the Trust over IP model?
Discussion focuses on opportunities and requirements for IATA in the travel sector and various companies in health sector to come together at ToIP, acting as a “magnet” for organizations trying to understand how to use verifiable credentials to solve problems.
