教育委員会によるCardanoベースのDID検証を可能にする登録制のウェブサイト。人間にとって読みやすいDIDのフォーマットを提供するDApp。

Problem:

Adopting DIDs involves trusting its issuer. Issuers in turn rely on being members of established networks, leading to fragmentation of DIDs

[IMPACT]

VAlidation DApp as the solution

The requirements for implementing this solution require the following:

  • A website where verifiers can input the DID canonical and long-form formats and be presented with a human-friendly validation and reproduction of the DID.
  • A functionality to indicate the status of the DID (current, revoked, permanent, temporary, etc.)
  • Revenue-generating stream by charging issuers registration of their public issuing keys.

This proposal address the challenge as follows:

Participation of Cardano's Local Community Centers

Having hosted the Cardano Summit in Oct 2021, a Wada Hub with weekly meet-ups to learn Haskell and Plutus through project-based learning, the Goma Cardano Hub is a thriving community of Cardano adopters and members regularly attend Town Halls and other digital events. By meeting within the settings of post-secondary institutions, this Cardano's Local Community is able to create awareness at the heart of the user base. First-year students are issued secondary diplomas which can serve as their first DIDs experience.

Risks:

  • Low traffic for verification lowering SEO search ranking.
  • Verifiers unable or unwilling to rely on centralized validation without reaching out to credential issuing schools (pervasiveness of the legacy system).

Solutions:

  • Link propagation among Atala-Prism-based credential applications.

  • User-friend interface to produce DID information in human readable format. Time to promote the website among verifiers (issuers are also often verifiers of DIDs for their counterparts).

    [FEASIBILITY]

This is a relatively straightforward application which allows verifiers to test whether a DID is published and issued by the issuing authority.

Members of the Goma Cardano Hub will build the website and the database holding issuing credentials from issuers (schools) where published DIDs can be verif

Roadmap:

  • Jun22: Collect public issuing keys from participating post-secondary learning institutions.

  • Jul-Oct22: Build website with API connectivity to the blockchain to verify DIDs.

  • Nov22: Market website and functionalities at high school boards.

  • Website with validation functionality : $9000

  • Marketing: $2000

  • Hosting and Domain acquisition (6 months): $1500

[AUDITABILITY]

  • Upon funding, a video featuring students from different school board and their diploma delivery experience.

  • Regular YouTube Video Updates

  • GitHub repositoty updated with tools deemed transferable to other applications involving DIDs

  • Update through Catalyst meetings and site for progress

  • Website with live update on on-boarded school boards.

  • A website which allows on-boarded learning institutions to publish their affiliation to the relevant school boards.

  • Membership fees for public issuing keys hosting.

Funded7 : Make Atala Prism DID THE Standard (https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/idea/384345)

Upon promoting the adoption of the Atala-based Prism, schools rely on the availability of a central affiliation site so as to allow verifiers (other schools) to certify that a DID issuer is trustworthy (i.e belonging to a recognized school board).

Through this mechanism, secondary schools can also be on-boarded as they are organized by district and affiliation school boards.
