SSI  awareness in Europe recently spiked as the revised EU eIDAS legislation puts SSI-based technology in at the forefront of the minds of decision-makers and technologists alike. With large-scale pilots with wallet technology being planned and through the technology-driven European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) activity, the EU aims to roll out a digital wallet for every European by 2024.

For the European academic trust and identity community, these developments present both challenges: how does this SSI ecosystem relate to Federated Identity and the established practices developed? There may also be opportunities: does this perhaps help us save cost when we enroll enrol researches, or external identities in our collaborations,  can we perhaps build trust in a new way, can we now finally get rid of proxies?  

To further explore these questions, an AARC BPA SSI expert working group (wgGroup) will be formed to further explore, investigate and discuss such questions.
The discussion, (open) questions and possibly possible answers of the working group will be captured and disseminated in the T&I community.

Work principles

  • The wg Group will hold periodic meetings for about 3-4 weeks for about 2.5 hours, starting from week 36, 2022 until the end of 2022.
  • The wg Group will establish  establish topics and contents to be discussed.
  • The process is intended to be flexible and exploratory.
  • It is expected not only technical  technical topics will be discussed, but also privacy, assurance and trust. 
  • The Incubator members serve and facilitate the process, including note-taking and writing out the proceedings.
  • Proceedings will be made available to the wg Group for feedback and review before being finalized.

...

  • Finalized proceedings of each meeting will be bundled into a paper, which will have the expert group members as co-authors
  • There may be more questions than answers in it 
  • It is ok to end up up with a product that exposes concerns without clear answers and has some rough edges requiring (future) investigation

Meeting format

  • The wg Group will meet in have online meetings in weeks: 36, 39, 42, 45 and 48September and October 2022.
    Week 48 is a wrapup/spill-over meeting
  • Meetings take 2.5 hours with 15 min lead time times and 15 min break breaks between 1-hour discussion slots
  • Using a doodle poll, participants will be invited to select either of the following slots will be selected by WG Group members (Incubator team member availability is restricting the use of other slots):
    • Wed morning 10.00 - 12.30
    • Mon afternoon, 13.30 to 16.00
    • Fri morning, 10.00 - 12.30
