Abstract: TrustID was created to decentralize the Hyperledger Fabric identity for the product implemented in Telefonica, TrustOS. TrustID is now an independent project. TrustID eases the management of identities for the case of TrustOS. Users shouldn’t need to hold a different set of credentials for each network or decentralized application they interact with. The same credentials used to access your own Bitcoins and manage your tokens in Ethereum should let you update the state of a Fabric asset or launch a secondary market in TrustOS. This is the rationale behind TrustID. The main goal of TrustID as a new project released in the Hyperledger Labs, under open source license, is to develop a new identity management standard in different blockchain platforms, regardless of the underlying technology.

Ideas for Future talks (please add suggestions with contact)
- EBSI and eIDAS, and integration into the open platform. More on this topic.
- Discussions on Identity as seen by the state vs across regions and internationally and how that helps stitch together the blockchain infrastructures, in terms of trust, KYC etc.. Refer to FATF.
- Further on TOIP

- ID2020: Why is it important? Financial and societal inclusion through Digital Identity and SDGs.

Summary:

What do we need?

Decentralized Authentication
To give users the possibility to custody their keys
Keys interoperable with other platforms or methods
To give different access to chaincodes in the same Hyperledger Fabric channel
To use DID standard

Demo:

Identity and Chaincode internals. Init, invoke, verification, and create identity services.

Code walk-thru (see video).

Create an identity and publish in Fabric chaincode
Interact with chaincode using DID and JOSE (json for encryption)
