SUMMARY:NGI Forward Salon: Lightest/Trust Infrustructure
DESCRIPTION:The NGI ESSIF-Lab project TRAIN (Trust Management Infrastructure) leverages a decentralized data protected approach for a Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) context. It proposes an infrastructure for SSI that can be used to verify conformance of the issuer to a certain policy and trust scheme. This is important because an ever-increasing number and variety of transactions are conducted digitally over the Internet. At the same time\, identity and other credential schemes are evolving towards decentralized complex and open approaches; anyone can be entitled as issuer. For all this\, trust is a central empowering factor. So how can you be sure that the entity\, be it person or organization making the transaction or issuing a credential is really who they say they are? \nThe challenge of decentralized trust is not entirely new. Trading\, for example\, has always involved trust and risk. Whether it is for barter\, or for promissory notes. Before modern communication\, when trading with someone you did not know\, you would take up references from someone you did trust. The longer the distance\, the more difficult and risky that was. Long-distance trading sometimes involved family members\, travelling and becoming established in those distant locations. In the Twenty-First Century\, sophisticated methods to provide that trust between counterparties have been developed\, but still rely on someone to provide the references. These now take the form of ‘Trusted Third Parties’ who may be regulated from within an industry itself\, or through legislation\, to provide ‘certification’. So\, how do you obtain the details of the certifications that you need to satisfy acceptable risk and build trust? \nThe EU H2020 project LIGHTest has developed a flexible approach for this challenge: global lightweight trust infrastructure providing parties of electronic transactions with automatic validation of trust based on their individual trust policies through the publication\, querying\, and cross-jurisdiction translation of information relevant in making decisions. LIGHTest empowers counterparties to establish trust and awareness of risk through recognizing the ‘Chain of Trust’ and associated certification. It can also provide automatic verification of that certification for every transaction. Verifiers are empowered to make their own trust decisions while different actors (industry organizations\, NGOs) can set up their own trust schemes\, based on established ones like eIDAS. \nFraunhofer\, SICPA\, and Validated ID will present and demonstrate the results of their work in LIGHTest and their NGI ESSIF Lab Projects.

SUMMARY:eSSIF-Lab Open Calls webinar
DESCRIPTION:Find out all about the eSSIF-Lab current Open Calls\nSelf-Sovereign Identity (SSI) promises to empower European citizens with new means to manage privacy\, eliminate logins\, and enjoy much faster and safer electronic transactions via the internet as well as in real life. \nDo you have questions about the eSSIF-Lab Open Calls? Want tips for crafting an effective proposal? \nJoin our live webinar on the eSSIF-Lab’s current Open Calls! \n2nd Business – oriented Open Call\neSSIF-Lab is looking for proposals to develop and demonstrate SSI working solutions for a real-world\, domain-oriented problem or opportunity\, in prioritized eSSIF-Lab areas (Health Tech\, e-Government and Education)\, or in the Open Disruptive Innovation track (which is covering innovative bottom-up projects out of these verticals). \neSSIF-Lab will select 23 best SMEs (including startups)\, not-for-profit entities (such as foundations or associations)\, or collaborative initiatives (as micro-consortia of these entities) \nProposed solutions must be commercial\, competitive and sector-specific SSI applications for products and services. They are expected to leverage on the added value that previously developed functionalities within the eSSIF-Lab\, to include the issuing\, exchange and consumption of SSI credentials as a core element and to have high technology and investment readiness levels. \nThe proposals selected in the Second Business-oriented Call will be invited to join an 8-month acceleration programme\, including business and technical support to integrate eSSIF-Lab and other SSI technology with market propositions. \n\nDeadline: 7th of July 2021 at 17:00 (CEST)\nFunding: up to 106\,000 € (for the best in class)\n\nInfrastructure – oriented Open Call\nThis call targets open-source technical enhancements and extensions for eSSIF-Lab Framework which fall within the SSI concept (i.e. technologies which allow individuals to control their electronic identities and guard their privacy). \nOpen source SSI components developed as a result of this open call will be applied by other participants in eSSIF-Lab. Hence\, applicants shall be willing and able to work in an agile way with lots of communication and interaction with other participants in the eSSIF-Lab ecosystem\, together with developing the eSSIF-Lab Framework and testing the interoperability of delivered components. \nThis call targets innovators in the SSI domain (such as outstanding academic research groups\, hi-tech startups\, SMEs\, etc.)\, legally established/resident in a Member State of the EU or in an H2020 associated country. \n\nDeadline: 7th of July 2021 at 17:00 (CEST)\nFunding: up to 155\,000 €\n\nThis webinar is free and open to all stakeholders. \neSSIF-Lab is funded by the European Commission\, as part of the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme\, under Grant Agreement Nº 871932 and it’s framed under Next Generation Internet Initiative.\nThe data controller is FundingBox Accelerator sp. z o.o. (Al. Jerozolimskie 136\, 02-305 Warsaw\, Poland). We process your personal data for the purpose to run this webinar and promote eSSIF-Lab Project.

SUMMARY:eSSIF-Lab webinar
DESCRIPTION:eSSIF-Lab: creating & funding an interoperable SSI infrastructure in Europe\nAttend this webinar to learn about the eSSIF-Lab (EU H2020) project with Oskar van Deventer and Rieks Joosten from TNO in the Netherlands. \nWHY: the eSSIF-Lab vision\, objectives\, and intended benefits;\nWHAT: its (initial) functional architecture/components;\nHOW: ways in which you may contribute (and possibly get funded for that). \n \neSSIF-Lab is an EU H2020 project whose purpose is to fundamentally improve real-life transactions via the Internet\, by focusing on next-generation mental models for such next generation transactions\, and using SSI technologies and implementations to realize them. \nToday\, conducting an online business transaction consist of an individual that fills in an online form\, which is subsequently processed (data is validated\, and a commitment decision is made). Filling in and validating forms can be quite tedious\, frustrating\, time consuming and costly. Digitally inexperienced people are known to give up on requesting (social) benefits they are entitled to\, enlarging the digital divide. But even people with an academic background and years of IT experience find this difficult. \nIn the SSI-enabled world as eSSIF-Lab sees it\, an SSI IT infrastructure can help to find\, provide and validate the needed data electronically. This makes filling and processing forms much easier (people no longer have to understand forms\, upload pdfs\, etc.)\, much faster (people no longer have to go places to get paperwork) much cheaper (saving tens of billions of euro’s – or even more – on verification/validation costs and IT-links). \nThe current wealth of SSI-related products\, technologies and standards is insufficient for realizing this vision\, because it generally lacks interoperability and scalability\, and does not address the process- and business levels. \neSSIF-Lab calls for a scalable and interoperable technological infrastructure that is very easy to use by and integrate with (the IT\, the processes and the business/policies of) arbitrary organizations and individuals to request\, obtain\, store and issue data objects whose meaning (semantics)\, origin (provenance) and integrity can be proved (verified) – which is basically what SSI is all about. \nThe main task of the eSSIF-Lab consortium is to coordinate between and fund projects of SME’s/startups (from EU/EEA countries) that contribute to the realization of this vision\, in terms of technology and/or associated business propositions\, and that will work together so as to benefit from each other’s contributions. \nRegister on this link to join the webinar on the 31st of March 8 am MST / 10 am EST / 3 pm CET.
