Hyperledger in-depth: An hour with Evernym

James Monaghan and Andy Tobin of Evernym will guide a discussion on “Privacy-Preserving Verifiable Credentials in the Time of COVID-19.” Identity projects need to support business objectives, be easy to adopt, and protect the rights of the identity holder. That is a tall order, but real world deployments show this to be possible through the use of distributed ledgers. This session will focus on the analysis and discussion of two use cases where legacy identity solutions were unable to meet the needs, but ledger based solutions have been successful: covid credentials for travel and employment credentials for staff movements. James and Andy will introduce the solutions and are eager for feedback. By the end of the session, we hope you will be able to distinguish use cases where digital identity makes sense, as well as understand how Hyperledger Indy and Aries can play a role.
