The KERI Working Group works primarily to specify and prototype a Key Event Receipt Infrastructure.

Claims & Credentials WG Develop interoperable formats for broad adoption around Claim & Credential processes within SSI. Join this group to contribute to the standards and technology that create, exchange, and verify claims and credentials in a decentralized identity ecosystem. For example, a cryptographically verifiable credential that proves an individual has a college degree or is of a certain age. Our members focus on specs that are vendor agnostic and based on industry standards. Read the working group charter here ( https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ogM1-uSKqpH-rw0kO04h0ONOWOisfTIP )

Welcome to the DIDAuth WG at the Decentralized Identity Foundation. For the protection of all Members, participation in this working group (beyond observing) is limited to members, including their employees, and individual contributors who have signed the membership documents and thus agreed to the intellectual property rules governing participation. If you or your employer are not a member of the Working Group [ check here ( http://bit.ly/dif_wg_participation ) ], you may attend the meeting, however, we ask that you not participate in the meeting by verbal contribution or otherwise take any action beyond observing. If you are interested in joining the Decentralized Identity Foundation and this working group, learn more at https://identity.foundation/join/ *DIDAuth WG:* The purpose of this working group is to design, recommend, and implement authentication and authorization protocols that rely upon open standards and cryptographic protocols using DIDs and DID Documents.

The more foundational communication protocols have been known by several names during their history, including Agent to Agent Communication and more recently DID Communications (DIDComm for short). On top of this foundation are other protocols, including credential exchange, basic user messaging, et This working group is created to produce one or more high-quality specs that embody a method (“DIDComm”) for secure, private and (where applicable) authenticated message-based communication, where trust is rooted in DIDs and depends on the messages themselves, not on the external properties of the transport(s) used.

*Identifiers and Discovery* A key piece of the decentralized identity equation is how people, organizations, and devices can be identified and located without centralized systems of identifiers (e.g. email addresses). DIF members are actively working on protocols and implementations that enable creation, resolution, and discovery of decentralized identifiers and names across decentralized systems, like blockchains and distributed ledgers.

Interoperability WG is a community effort to achieve decentralized identity interop. The current focus of the group is to establish cross-community buy-in.

Storage and Compute Working Group mailing list. Access is limited to DIF members only.

Secure Data Storage Working Group mailing list. Specification for a foundational layer for secure data storage (including personal data), specifically data models for storage and transport, syntax, data at rest protection, CRUD API, access control, synchronization, and a minimum viable HTTP-based interface compatible with W3C DIDs/VCs. Wiki is here ( https://dif.groups.io/g/sds-wg/wiki/home ) Working Group charter can be found here ( https://identity.foundation/working-groups/identifiers-discovery.html )

Sidetree Operating and Development Group, The development and maintenance of the formal Sidetree specification, and a hub of coordination for Sidetree-based DID Method node operators. This group also generates libraries, tooling, and documentation to aid Sidetree-based DID Method node operators.

The WG will design and define secure wallet architecture, establish common terminology, produce guidelines, classify and specify security capabilities and best practices, and more.

*Glossary Project:* The goal of this project is to facilitate the emergence of contextualized vocabulary that is widely accepted across the decentralized identity community/industry. Together we will be working across the whole range of projects and efforts to understand what language is currently being used and to invite understanding and support convergence on some core definitions. We will do this in an open and transparent manner that is as inclusive as possible. We are not (re)creating a comprehensive taxonomy but rather are focusing on a few key terms that are especially critical for wider adoption. * * Glossary Project is a DIF Open Group, is an industry initiative hosted by the Decentralized Identity Foundation in a. The work carried out under this group is a collaboration between parties in the wider identity ecosystem to reduce the friction between naming *Agenda & Meeting minutes:* here ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NCzsq7hrHipPN2vmjlWLYwp-8zkAOeEaw4sn15KAtQA/edit?usp=sharing ) *Sign Up form* : here ( https://forms.gle/ju7vELXkyCb6peiF7 ) *Mailing List:* here ( https://dif.groups.io/g/glossary )

A DIF hosted Special Interest Group that focuses on use-cases, issues, solutions, and needs in healthcare.

The development of technical standards is a critical activity to drive uptake of new decentralized identity infrastructures. At the same time, digital identity is inherently contextual and the regulations, technologies, and norms prevalent in one domain are unlikely to be transferable to others. We propose to complement the current focus of DIF with a focus on the industry vertical of travel and hospitality. Travel and hospitality hold very high promise for the application of new digital identity infrastructures because suppliers constantly deal with first-time customers. For both security and regulatory reasons, they must have confidence that they are who they say they are. Further, in order to market to them effectively and provide them with a personalized experience, they need as much information as the traveller is willing to share about themselves, and in many cases they need trusted third-party verification that the information is correct.

A group on DIF outreach and marketing.

An open discussion group hosted under DIF for Identity professionals to discuss and evolve decentralized Identity product-related work.
