> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: So we think it's pretty nice.

> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Talk in more depth about this um so

> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Um we made a conscious Choice after.

> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Yeah thank you yeah that was a that

> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Um a mobile only wallet interfaces

> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Um we'll be happy to report on that

> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: So yeah so this is an example of um

> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Yeah some of the things also here

> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: And then on the previous slide you

> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Some of the challenges and Lessons

> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Well happy to report that we did

> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Um balancing institutional needs so

> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Some Upstream dependencies that

> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket:  um and.

> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Um resource sharing of course um

> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Um so then uh we had to go back to

> Kerri Lemoie:  Um so we we think this is pretty important to uh

>   systems into a more more portable systems like wallets.
> Kerri Lemoie:  Um dbg anything else or anybody else in the DCC
>   team that's here that would like to add that I haven't mentioned.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Yeah um a lot of I'll add a couple more things

> Dmitri Zagidulin:  What what are the major advantages to Edge
>   only mobile wallets and what do we mean by that we mean that
>   credentials and keys and bids.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Are only stored on the mobile phone there's no
>   server component so 1 of the 1 of the reasons that ASU was able
>   to uh deploy this so fast and 1 of the reasons that DCC
>   originally um went with with the edge only design is.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  It makes writing the privacy policy really
>   easy.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  It makes writing the terms and service and
>   getting it by the legal teams really easy it's like what's your
>   privacy policy we literally don't have any of your data it's all
>   on your phone that's it right so very short so so that's a huge
>   advantage in terms of uh being able to get it out there and start
>   getting feedback from the users the downside of course is.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  What about sharing how do you share
>   credentials right the convoluted analogy that I always love to
>   make is with um landline phones and answering machines.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Uh landline phones were great.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Uh infrastructure wise but of course what
>   happens when you're not at at your phone you want to be able to.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  You want to have a machine still be able to
>   pick up the phone record the messages so you can come back to it
>   similarly with Edge only wallets.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Your phone your mobile wallet is not always
>   on.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Uh not always accessible and even when it is
>   connected to the internet there's no way to for anybody else who
>   you want to share credential with to reach into your wallet and
>   request something and so on so long story short.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  1 Of the things that uh we had to do at DC and
>   and at Su as well.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Was when it came to sharing credentials.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  We needed a limited Cloud component only for
>   public only credentials again to keep that privacy policy short.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  And and manageable.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  We we have this this notion of when you share
>   a credential it gets uploaded to uh a public server.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  So that you can just email a link to a
>   component.
> <kate_giovacchini,_tln> Thanks all, I have to run, I'm sorry !
>   PLanning an event next week is hard work
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Um and and by the way 1 1 of the 1 of the
>   reasons I love being involved in these projects is each 1 of
>   these features.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Needs so much work.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Terms of uh.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Wordsmithing uiux design how do you write the
>   help page right how do you like you get these credentials in
>   front of students and in front of Administrators and there's just
>   worlds of how do we explain this stuff how you know how do we
>   handle errors how do we handle successes how do we show that the
>   verification succeeded.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  How do we show the various uh various ways in
>   which verification can fail and still uh sort of get across the
>   the risk factor to the user all all those all those topics very
>   interesting but back to uh the original question of so what what
>   else is on our road map uh so 1 1 exciting projects uh dcc's uh
>   doing right now is exploring further this notion of wallet
>   attached storage of okay we did some some early prototypes of
>   this is how you share a credential.
> <ildiko_mazar> The portability of digital credentials is vital in
>   the context of lifelong learning where people get their
>   credentials from multiple sources and might store in multiple
>   places in parallel and over time. But it's also very important
>   that these DCs are comparable. Do you have a minimum
>   (recommended) data content for the credentials that are stored in
>   the ASU Pocket wallets?
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  But then can we take it farther can we say
>   hey.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Since user since you already have a wallet
>   that manages cryptographic keys for you what does that mean for
>   storing things in a sharable way in the cloud.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:   Can we we.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Being able to share public only credential can
>   we add down the line Access Control to it.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Can we uh can we add sync between different
>   wallets or different devices right like it's it's a very rich and
>   interesting area to to explore.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:   And and we look.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Forward to um coming back and and.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Explaining our approach uh sharing our
>   findings in it and so on so uh definitely um going to be more to
>   hear from us about what our Dutch storage I think I'll pause
>   there um back to you Gary.
> Kerri Lemoie:  Oh no that's great thank you to me I'll actually
>   hand it back over to Mariana.
> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Okay yeah thank you um yeah lots of
>   these things are also on our minds um we do we are planning.
> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: A research Sprinter to in regards
>   to.
> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Selective disclosures and 1-to-1
>   sharings and uh uh all all sorts of things like that so I'm sure
>   we'll talk a lot with you guys about this um and I just yeah I uh
>   I love that we have an opportunity to kind of build step by step
>   build this um this future what this actually looks like of what
>   all these uncertainties look like and then um have immediate
>   almost instant validation.
> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Markets with real users when we make
>   these decisions.
> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: That's it Q&A.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Yeah so let's uh let's get some questions from
>   uh from the audience I see 1 um uh 1 great question that I want
>   to make sure it doesn't uh get lost uh from from ildico in chat
>   though ildico if I don't know if you want to.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Uh hop on the Queue to uh to explain it more
>   but I think uh it'll go asking hey what.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Understand the question correctly.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  What's the data model here do we have a speck
>   of how.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  A credential needs to look in order to be
>   displayed on these wallets uh and the answer is it's obviously
>   evolving uh at the moment we started with open badges version 3.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  We start with obvious credentials just because
>   it's uh.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Well known in our corner of the VC field
>   education field and so if it's a verifiable credential sorry if
>   it's a open badges version 3 it'll probably display in the wallet
>   uh of course we don't have support for all of the fields there
>   are many many many fields in.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Um open badges version 3.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Support uh for each 1 uh we will take some
>   time on the road map and and we are hoping that uh advances with
>   uh the render method will be able to take care some of.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Some of that heavy lifting.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  So yeah so we're we're starting with uh really
>   basic credentials such as uh open badges.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Going from there but uh please feel free to
>   ask other questions.
> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Yeah also to just quickly add to
>   that um so we did yeah we did launch uh pocket with 2 oh sorry um
>   I have a contributor here um to uh.
> <ildiko_mazar> <3
> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: 2 schemas so 1 is obviously uh for.
> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Of credentials and then the other 1
>   is the employment record to support uh you know to support that
>   so that is interesting Dmitri helped us create the initial schema
>   um and then we based on again real real life feedback and and
>   sort of uh fields and and data that was necessary um.
> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Will be iterating on it and and
>   figuring out how to make that look more aligned to.
> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Um just what the folks perceive to
>   be of value to share and what the the verifiers perceive to be of
>   value to know about the employment so that is evolving and it's
>   really fun.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Oh yeah that's that's a that's a good point I
>   completely forgot uh to mention that aspect that uh there there's
>   some really really exciting developments on in the resume and
>   employment and and HR uh filled in these wallets uh so.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  There's there's a support for the employment
>   credential that ASU uh has shipped uh there's a.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Couple of uh road map items that uh Phil Long
>   and the T3 Chamber of Commerce Foundation is working on.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  And and it's relevant to us in the education
>   field because it's sort of the the complement the.
> <ildiko_mazar> That would be very interesting to keep an eye on -
>   perceived value for the various stakeholders involved (educators,
>   employers)
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Functionality uh between education and and
>   employment and how how the 2 interactive.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Yeah so really important uh illico please uh.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  And you know you're spot on you you touch on 1
>   of the most important and 1 of the most um.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Often asked questions perceived value to
>   stakeholders.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  End of the day we've got we've got these.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Data models we've got these protocols we got
>   these apps user interface all this stuff.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  What's the perceived value to the stakeholders
>   what's like.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  What does this stuff actually do and.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Uh and that that's an ongoing challenge to us
>   a DCC okay we can talk about that and as well as um.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  You uh just want to highlight some of the some
>   of the work uh both Mariana and Brooke who's on the call.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:   As well.
> <ildiko_mazar> And how to foster the provision of those values in
>   future DCs to be issued by education providers
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Interfacing with various stakeholders on the
>   uh greater Network Greater Community side the the employers the
>   admission desks uh all of those yeah uh eternally interesting
>   topic.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Do you wanna.
> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Yeah I would be more than happy to
>   talk to anyone about the findings that we had from our Ace
>   Hardware pilot there's actually um a few articles that were
>   published um based on that pilot that was very insightful um so
>   happy to talk more about this at some point.
> <ildiko_mazar> Please share URLs, if you can
> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: I can find the links yeah there are
>   1 of them is on my LinkedIn but I I'll grab it yeah.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Not to put you on the spot but do you want to
>   uh share a couple of findings that that that struck you that are
>   the top of your mind.
> Marianna_Milkis,_ASU_Pocket: Let me just give me a minute I'll
>   I'll pull up the deck.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Yeah of course of course yeah of course uh
>   meanwhile other questions uh the folks have.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  And so on.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  Well uh Mariana is is looking at the decks I
>   just want to comment real quick on 1 of the things that uh we
>   often get asked at DCC is this notion of whether to Rebrand re
>   label a wallet or use an existing.
> Dmitri Zagidulin:  An existing app just unchanged like learning
