Action 1: Key message of a potential communications regarding the recent EBSI registration of GÉANT:
Where do we come from?
- GÉANT is running the trust and identity backbone of the international research and education sector for two decades
- Many Erasmus services rely on this trust and identity backbone for years… (numbers?)
What are we up to?
the promises of the wallet ecosystem… decentralised, more privacy preserving, sector-overarching, integrated with the eID
What did we achieve
- The “educational ID” VC was designed to match as much as possible today’s user information transferred by the trust and identity backbone between organisations of the research and education sector and services consumed by members.
- GÉANT is now registered on the EBSI blockchain as trust anchor for the “educational ID” VC. This mirrors the role of GÉANT in the existing infrastructure and brings it into the wallet ecosystem of EBSI.
What are the benefits:
- universities profit from a simplified migration path towards the wallet ecosystem, as the the user information as well as the trust fabric between the universities remain identical.
- no new governance structures need be established in EBSI to govern the “ecucational ID” VC, as the existing sectoral governance structure of GEANT can be re-used instead. It might even serve as an example for other sectoral governance migration opportunities.
Backlog
- Review existing services to identify opportunities and challenges to adopt the distributed technologies paradigm. Grab existing results as a start
- Gather previous work done by the NRENs/universities on using SSI technologies, as well as other sectors. Crowd-source among ourselves
