FOR FINAL DISCUSSION: Proposed Success Criteria

At the end of the POC,

    • Any party will be able to understand what they need to do in order to implement (technically) in a live environment
    • We will feel successful if participants (or others) want to take it to the next level

What hypotheses will the POC test?

The POC is pulling together a test bed where key technical hypotheses can be tested over the course of 2022. Since the Community Group is still forming, this list may not be exhaustive and will be updated as new members join and feed into the group.

Key Hypotheses:

  1. A Global Assured Identity Network can be built on top of existing networks and solutions
  2. Identity Information Providers (IIPs) from different jurisdictions can be part of a network for assured identity
  3. IIPs with different architectural approaches (e.g. federated, self-sovereign) can pass assured identity data into a network through one or more interoperable interfaces to Relying Parties (RPs) – e.g. OpenID Connect, DIDComm, WACI, etc.
  4. IIPs can offer a variety of APIs – built to serve different purposes – into the network
  5. The network can support multiple protocols RPs can access assured identity data from different IIPs in a simplest but trusted approach (single contract, single credential and a single technical specification).
