Task Force Reports

TF Leads

Trust Registry TF — @Darrell O'Donnell

• No major update other than the V1 spec needs to be completed in GitHub.

• @Lucy Yang shared with Drummond at Identiverse that the WHO is quite interested in a V2.

• Darrell said that some of the work at DIF also aligns. 

• Drummond mentioned that work on revocation has accelerated since the work on the V1 spec was done. This is a topic that should be explored in more depth in V2.

ACDC TF — @Sam Smith @Philip Feairheller 

• Drummond reported that there is now a fairly complete version of the spec.

Technology Architecture TF — @Drummond Reedand @Wenjing Chu 

• We have moved over onto GitHub where we are starting to work in GitHub issues.

• The Markdown document has been started there.

• There is an ongoing discussion about the technical depth of this version of the spec.

  • We hope that the high-level policymaker document will clarify this.

• Wenjing felt that the most important deadline is the upcoming Hyperledger Global Forum meeting in Dublin starting Sept 12.

  • Judith shared that ToIP is also going to have a mini-summit on Sept 14th.

• Drummond clarified that the TF has agreed to add two other deliverables:

  • ToIP Technology for Policymakers

  • ToIP Interoperability Test Cases

• This will allow us to keep the current document at the same scope.

Updates from Consensus 2022 and Identiverse 2022

@Drummond Reed 

Consensus 2022

• Block announced the launch of Web5 (Web2 + Web3) based on the Decentralized Web Node (DWN) draft specification from the Secure Storage working group at DIF.

• Wenjing said that this was the same content that the Block team shared at Internet Identity Workshop in April.

• Wenjing clarified that it ties directly into the work of the Technology Architecture TF on intermediaries.

• Drummond shared that DWN is very similar to DIDComm in some ways. He believes they may converge over time.

Identiverse 2022

• Judith said that the keynote from Andre Durand, CEO of Ping, announced that decentralized identity was the future.

• Microsoft and other enterprise vendors now espousing verifiable credentials.

  • Alex Simons spent half of his keynote on VCs.

• Lots of sessions on FIDO2 passkeys.

  • There is a question about whether the cross-device sync will work across OSes.

  • Judith recommended that the FIDO2 UI/UX work is a great example of what we need to do.

  • @Vikas Malhotra said that the DIF Wallet Security WG is discussing FIDO2.

• A few sessions on GAIN (Global Assured Identity Network), but not as much interest among the enterprise audience.

  • Judith met several authors of the original GAIN 1.0 white paper.

  • She offered that ToIP could host a Task Force to develop a V2 of the paper. The original authors said they were interested in co-chairing that TF.

  • @Tim Bouma said he was on the GAIN call this morning and was not sure where it was going. Their "Newtonian frame of reference" is hard to change.

  • @Darrell O'Donnell was similarly skeptical about GAIN's plans to pursue a "uber federation" because it hasn't been successful. "We can't push that rope."
