ChatGPT got this important credential-for-Santa a bit wrong

This topical credential is issued by Findynet.fi/en to our/our kids' wallets so that we/they can present it to Santa. He can then verify the validity all the way to delivering the presents.

Verifiable credential for Christmas

Thanks to Findynet.fi/en I got this very topical valuable verifiable credential https://www.linkedin.com/posts/bo-harald-4768b51_activity-7275404526520594432-jpI4?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop Merry Christmas and a Happy Credential-filled New Year Bo

Hot topic - to say the least

EU is being accused of regulating too much - even if California copied GDPR. Then Harari is describing the AI-driven future's many dangers in NEXUS to millions of readers. The pressure to do something - starting from a proper x-Atlantic analysis - is growing. To me the ongoing rollout of the EUDI Trust Infrastructure with wide identity (all needed ...

EIDAS = economy of repetition - and so much more

How much stress and cost is not generated when we have to dig through piles of paperwork and mail endless PDFs to prove who you are, what qualifications you have and what powers you have to act - on behalf of your employer, your football club, your children, your parents etc.. Digital credentials from (issuers) and to (holders and then to verif

We have hammers - for so many nails

Only half-way through Harari's Nexus - so I should perhaps suspend comments. But judging from the book's index he has unfortunately not included any references to the work in Trust over IP, Self-sovereign Identity and MyData based EU legislation (making GDPR useful) and Linux founded Open Wallet Foundation. I did try to call his attention to th

What does my enterprise expect from my bank in the General Purpose interoperable Wallet Era

First of all I expect the bank to be a Trust Infrastructure leader and realise its responsibility for Society at Large. To take the practical steps needed so that the immense improvements in productivity, service levels, security, risk management, privacy and for EUs part the Single markets are delivered without hesitation and delays. The EU legis...

AI horror stories need to be addressed

There should be no doubt that AI will be central for improving also EU competitiveness. But there are many horror stories around that may hinder uptake. Like AI knowing more about your inner self than you ever can - and will use this for commercial reasons and even against your interest (no use to try to pretend anything - or maybe you should ask...

Making x-border business easier - with organisation wallets

EWC is in my book the most important of the EU Trust Infastructure large scale implementation pilots. It (i) demonstrates how useful the infra will be for enterprises, their staff and the public sector, (ii) speeds up adoption of organisation wallets. 25 (incl Microsoft's) already available according to FIDES: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/bo-ha...

Begin with the end in mind

The work on implementing the Trust Infrastructure in Europe is now going into high gear. Today’s Open Wallet Foundation and Findynet meetings and last weeks FIDES Plugfest - just to mention a few - show that the progress is real. The benefits for Society at large, every citizen and organisation have from the outset made it clear that remaining issu...
