On October 17, 2024, Wallets Overview SIG Chair Mirko Mollik held an AMA (Ask Me Anything) to share the work of the SIG, the current state of this public resource and where this SIG is going. You can watch the video here: https://hubs.la/Q02VdzFv0

The OWF team are fans of the MyData organization and the work they do. MyData Global has been promoting a fairer, more individual-centric internet for nearly a decade. They are looking for trailblazers, activists, innovators and early adopters who are envisioning and building a better world, to celebrate their work with a MyData Award.

Vandaag was ik samen met Bart den Haan bij de OpenWallet Foundation bijeenkomst over de EDI wallet ontwikkelingen in de EU en in de lidstaten. Erg interessant om de stand van zaken in de LSPs en de lidstaten te horen. Aantal van de highlights en belangrijke inzichten: - Het draait niet om de wallet, maar om de acceptatie door relying parties. Niemand zit te wachten op een wallet waar je nauwelijks diensten mee kunt afnemen. - De EC komt in de komende weken met een fit-gap analyse tussen beschikbare standaarden, technische specificaties en de eisen vanuit de verordening en Implementing Acts. - Er is veel interesse in de 'wallet voor bedrijven', maar de meningen over wat dit is verschillen en er wordt nog nauwelijks aan gewerkt. - Er zijn binnen een jaar 25 open wallet code projects aangemeld bij de foundation. De verdere groei van Open Wallet Foundation zit idealiter niet in meer code projects, maar het dichter bij elkaar brengen en samenvoegen van bestaande projecten. Alleen zo kunnen we richting volwaardige interoperabiliteit werken. - Er komt een Open Wallet Forum (!) onder de vlag van de VN om de belangen en kansen van wallets wereldwijd bij elkaar te brengen. Details volgen snel.

Why are we so invested in Credo? Credo (hosted under the OpenWallet Foundation) has evolved over the years to a modern and modular TypeScript framework you can use to build relying parties, issuers, and identity wallets with different tech stacks. It's honestly a real joy to work with as a developer, both in terms of usability and it's features. The framework is compliant and interoperable with identity standards across the world. Credo is agnostic to any specific exchange protocol, credential format, signature suite, or did method. If you want to build something with Credo, or are already and require some assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to us! The repo: https://lnkd.in/gMgV_TrB

Did you know that Farmworker Wallet OS was formed in partnership with the OpenWallet Foundation? We applied to work with OWF because: ▪️ Our cornerstone tech is a Mendix-enabled digital wallet. That means interoperability and working with open standard frameworks has always been and continues to be a priority — and we can learn from OWF's best practices and standards. ▪️ We think there's huge potential in combining the interests of OWF and Mendix communities to drive further adoption and usage of interoperable, secure, and privacy-preserving digital wallets. ▪️ The Mendix digital wallet engine was created for maximum social innovation. By making these resources available to the OWF network, we hope to facilitate a significant and broad social impact. ...and we're just getting started.

We're currently working to support the High Assurance Interoperability Profile (HAIP) in Credo. Why is that important for digital identity in 2024? 👇 Credo (https://lnkd.in/gMgV_TrB) is a TypeScript framework for building decentralized identity solutions that aims to be compliant and interoperable with identity standards across the world. 🌐🤝 It is hosted under the OpenWallet Foundation and can be used to build identity wallets, issuers, and/or verifiers. Its main features are the developer experience and its quick adoption of upcoming standards. HAIP (https://lnkd.in/g3TvvrFk) is an interoperability profile that defines a set of requirements to enable interop between Issuers, Wallets, and Verifiers. It builds on OpenID for Verifiable Credentials in combination with the credential format SD-JWT VC, which is also the base of the current EU Architecture Reference Framework (ARF). Supporting HAIP in Credo will make it much easier to build identity solutions that are compliant with EU standards and protocols! As we're also working on supporting mDL, now is the perfect time to look into Credo for your wallet, issuer, or verifier. The main work items and expected delivery dates are as follows: ✅ Work item 1: Token Status List - June 2024 🚧 Work item 2: Credo OpenID4VC modules - July 2024 🚧 Work item 3: Support for X.509 certificate chain verification - August 2024 Work item 4: HAIP-specific functionality in Credo - August/September 2024

Earlier this month, the OpenWallet Foundation hosted a pair of AMAs (Ask-Me-Anything) with Kristina Yasuda from SPRIND and Oliver Terbu from MATTR on the "Technical Standards Underpinning ARF". Both sessions were great thanks to our presenters and attendees. The videos of the two AMAs can be found on the OpenWallet Foundation YouTube channel and here on this blog post: https://hubs.la/Q02D9wlh0
