Project Submission Public Review
Proposed Project name
Co-create digital credential interoperability opportunities between Switzerland and Canada
Submitter
International Academic Researcher
Question to be explored
How might we test that different eID apps / wallets from different providers work together smoothly? How might we verify that credentials issued in Canada can be verified in Switzerland, and vice versa?
Proposed Project name
Contribute to the development effort of the Hyperledger Monitoring stack
Submitter
Province of British Columbia & Digital Trust Laboratory of Canada (DTLab)
Question to be explored
How might we enable DevOps professionals to effectively and efficiently monitor the operations of a digital trust network (so that its participants i.e. governments, citizens, businesses, and/or consumers who rely on it are not impacted by technical issues.)
Proposed Project name
Digital Identity control and verification process
Submitter
Inssatad Conseil Inc.
Question to be explored
How might we control and verify digital identities to tackle identification and authentication fraud (identity theft), generating multiple invasions of privacy with civil and penal consequences, and the protection of minors online in accordance with the 2001 Budapest Convention on child pornography?
Proposed Project name
Enabling Consent-Based, Privacy Centric, Fast Transactions for Citizens
Submitter
Vlinder Inc
Question to be explored
How might we “enable trustful, consent-based, privacy-centric transactions” for “citizens of Canada” for financial services and government applications to “enable faster fulfillment time and reduce wasteful duplication”
Proposed Project name
Enabling W3C VC Data Model testing on DTLabs Digital Trust Test Bench
Submitter
Digital Trust Laboratory of Canada (DTLab)
Question to be explored
How might we enable users without development or devops expertise to confirm whether a verifiable credential meets the W3C Verifiable Data Model requirements (which ensures it can be interoperable with other solutions)?
Proposed Project name
Facilitate the effort to scale the Aries Mediator in a production context
Submitter
Province of British Columbia & Digital Trust Laboratory of Canada (DTLab)
Question to be explored
How might we help government provinces in Canada active in digital credentials, as well as the Hyperledger Aries community, resolve the Aries Mediator High Availability / Load Scaling challenges (so that larger scale rollouts of dependent solutions can be unblocked)?
Proposed Project name
Submitter
DSR corporation
Question to be explored
How might we improve Indy Ledger for end-users and organizations to simplify maintenance, improve performance and achieve better compliance with the recent SSI standards?
Proposed Project name
Improving trust in research data
Submitter
Academic Researcher
Question to be explored
How might we improve trust in data generated from research for data consumers (such as governments, academia and private industry) to increase the value of outputs generated from the use of research data?
Proposed Project name
Pan-Canadian Registry of Trust Registries
Submitter
Digital Trust Laboratory of Canada (DTLab)
Question to be explored
How might we support international verifiers of digital credentials to find unknown trust registries in Canada so that those verifiers are able to determine if the issuer is legitimate?
Proposed Project name
Universal Interoperability Infrastructure
Submitter
Danube Tech
Question to be explored
How might we make DID and Verifiable Credential interoperability easy for product developers, testers, and ecosystems around the globe and reduce adoption barriers by integrating the Universal Resolver, Registrar, Issuer, and Verifier components into DTLab’s Digital Trust Test Bench?
Proposed Project name
What Everyone Needs to Know About Digital Identities
Submitter
KnowledgeFlow
Question to be explored
How might we create a general awareness campaign (including a training course and outreach plan) for the public to increase understanding of digital identities and how they can increase online safety.
Things to consider when commenting:
- Does this project seek to address an issue in the digital economy?
- Does this project seek to tackle the big issues involved in the creation of safe, seamless and secure digital credentials in Canada?
- Is there a community benefit in addressing the issues noted in this proposal?
- Does this project duplicate or contradict any existing or ongoing work in the ecosystem?
