the digital wallet can allow individuals to maintain control of their Personal health information and share it in a way that is secured, verifiable, and trusted. Individuals can share their health pass to return to the activities and things they love, without requiring exposure of the underlying Personal data used to generate the credential.

IBM Digital Health Pass
Type: Product Date: 2021-05-24 Location: Global Market: COVID Standard: Verifiable Credentials

Built on IBM Blockchain technology, Digital Health Pass is designed to enable organizations to verify health credentials for employees, customers and visitors entering their site based on criteria specified by the organization. It can allow an individual to manage their information through an encrypted digital wallet on their smartphone and maintain control of what they share, with whom and for what purpose. It’s one solution in our Watson Works suite of workplace solutions.

IBM Verify App
Related: Verity Type: Product Date: 2021-03-05

With IBM Verify Credentials, you can begin your journey of exploring the benefits of decentralized identity. We have provided an interactive experience centered around the challenge of proving your identity while opening a financial account. Additionally, we will walk you through the development of your first end-to-end decentralized identity solution.

You will first obtain two credentials: one issued by a fictional government and one from IBM HR, your fictional employer. You will then use those credentials to open a financial account with BigBlue Credit Union.

Once you’ve experienced this interactive exploration, you can build your own decentralized identity applications that emulate other issuances and verifications of credentials.

Moving forward with Digital Health Passes
Type: Post Founder: Kal Patel Date: 2021-05-11 Sector: Public Market: COVID Standard: DID, Verifiable Credentials

We envision a future that will include multiple Health Pass solutions, giving organizations and consumers the ability to choose which to utilize. This is why my team and I have put an emphasis on the interoperability of our solution. In addition, easy communication between state and federal health systems will reduce necessary investment and increase access to Digital Health Passes. In the near future we envision a user from any state being able to use their Health Pass in New York or any other state of their choice.

Blockchain for trusted security labels
Type: Post Founder: Tim Olson Date: 2019-11-05 Location: Global Industry: Security Standard: DID, Verifiable Credentials

A blockchain-based self-sovereign identity (SSI) network in conjunction with W3C verifiable credentials would provide an open, governable, system-independent means of issuing, holding, presenting, and verifying trusted security labels for any entity at scale — person or non-person. These blockchain-based security labels may be used by both MLS and non-MLS systems as a trusted basis for access control and authorization decisions to reduce risk exposure.

Decentralized Identity Introduction

An ecosystem model whereby users generate and manage their own digital identity without relying on a central repository.
• Identity is derived through Distributed certified credentials
• Trust Frameworks: Global Public and Domain Specific (Business, Legal, Technical)
• Built-for security and scale: push identity to the edges of the networks
• Built using Hyperledger Indy

Finance Use Case

David Vincent wants to apply for a loan online. His bank’s
know-your-customer process for obtaining a loan needs to be
compliant with federal regulations. As such, David is required to
present a government-issued citizen ID and proof of employment.

or a Consortium Identity Network to make the process easier and more
secure for him, seamlessly protecting his identity.

Self-sovereign identity: Why blockchain?
Related: Sovrin Type: Post Founder: Dan Gisolfi Date: 2018-06-13 Location: Global Tech: Indy, Sovrin Standard: DID, Verifiable Credentials

Several years ago, the Sovrin vision was introduced using a dot metaphor to describe a future whereby individuals would be able to take back control of their identity and participate at a peer-to-peer level with their online and offline relationships. Today the landscape of supporting open communities — network, code and standards — to achieve this vision has begun to mature at a rate whereby early adopters can begin to validate applicability and build that most important bridge across the technology adoption lifecycle chasm.

Get started with IBM Digital Health Pass
Type: Post Authors: Sharath Kumar R K, Corville Allen, Marie Wallace, Manjula Hosurmath Date: 2022-02-22 Standard: DID, Verifiable Credentials

How can you bring people back to physical locations such as the workplace or airports without compromising on safety protocols? And, how can you ensure that the information being shared is secure? IBM Digital Health Pass can help. Digital Health Pass is an open standards-based platform that allows the secure, privacy-preserving, and verifiable exchange of data between organizations and their patients, employees, customers, and citizens, to drive agile and responsive businesses. Data is exchanged as verifiable credentials that, in combination with sophisticated cryptographic and obfuscation techniques, makes data tamper-proof so that it can be trusted by all parties

Oracles: Common architectural patterns for Hyperledger Fabric
Type: Post Authors: Luc Desrosiers, Ricardo Olivieri Date: 2019-03-11 Tech: Fabric, Oracles Standard: DID, Verifiable Credentials

In a previous article, we showed you two mechanisms for implementing off-chain logic that maintain trust, visibility, and transparency as qualities of service for a blockchain network. The first approached extended smart contracts by having peers in the blockchain network invoke third-party services collocated with them, while the second approach extended smart contacts by having these invoke a third-party trusted service that resides outside of the blockchain network. These third-party trusted services are commonly referred to as oracles. In this article, we explore the second approach further by presenting three common architectural patterns that can be used in the context of a Hyperledger Fabric network.
