RE: Verifiable Claims/DID User Needs and Use cases

In addition to the cases that Josh notes below, I think we have an interest in the larger privacy questions about “correlation” of a person’s identity across different verifiable credentials, especially in circumstances in which preservation of anonymity is desirable.

Thanks Jason for the feedback!

Yes. I'm also thinking (and its good to have these out in the open now as general questions)

Looking at the VerfClaims 'Triangle of Trust' usually has the issuer/user, or detail of user as two separate entities. From an accessibility  perspective - It does seem to be that we will also  talking about situations where the claim issuer is also the user.  The 'claim' may a set of personalisation preferences that a system needs to respond to.

In situations between any kind of multiple claim relating to things that impact people with disabilities, there are also ethical issues around the locus of control. What happens if there is a conflict of authority or issues with credential precedence or multiple claims around the same subject?



We will also need to discuss the relationship between VerfClaim/DID and browser fingerprinting, though this may be done in APA.

Interesting stuff, thanks.

Josh
