My basic idea for an outline is:
- Why: Basics of SSI. How does it differentiate from traditional approaches and why do we need it?
- What: XFSC SSI Stack in Eclipse: Where does it come from, what can it do, and what are the next steps?
- How: How can SSI benefit your project? How to incorporate SSI and where to start?
So by the end, the audience will hopefully have a basic understanding of what it is, what can be done, and how to get started.
Normally I'd say that is a 45 minute talk, but in theory it should be possible to also extend this into a larger session with some hands-on activities. Happy to talk about what would make the most sense and provide the most benefit.
Objective of the presentation:
With the addition of the Cross Federation Services Components (XFSC), Eclipse Foundation now is home to one of the most mature stacks for Self Sovereign Identity. There is momentum to integrate this SSI stack with the Eclipse Dataspace Components, and interest in SSI from the SDV group, but the potential of SSI goes far beyond it. Ultimately every project in Eclipse that has to do with IoT or identities, and each project that requires authentication / authorization somewhere can benefit greatly from this SSI stack.
At the same time, SSI is still a young topic, and many technologists have only had very limited exposure to SSI.
So I believe it would be useful to provide the audience with some basic information about how Self Sovereign Identity works, what is happening at Eclipse in this area, why that is important, and how it can help their projects and activities.
Happy to work with you on fine tuning the presentation to maximise value for audience, but definitely wanted to add a placeholder for this.
