Hyperledger Global Forum 2021

The need for trusted identity is growing with remote workforce and online government services due to the pandemic and risk of fraud and data leaks. Decentralized verifiable identity meets this need with a strong trust model. Speakers will demo identity proofing and issuance of verifiable credentials to a city resident. Oracle Blockchain Platform (HL Fabric) manages data gathering & audit logging. IdRamp services based on HL Indy/Aries running in the Oracle Cloud ensure interoperability & protect PII. In the demo a resident requests city credentials by scanning physical documents for automated and human verification, then uses their credentials for verified access to a court hearing. Verifiable credentials support universal access to city services and, with self-sovereign approval, can be shared with other jurisdictions, avoiding additional physical proofing and the risk of sharing PII.
