<pl> Can someone say something so we can tell if audio is working for us?
Dmitri Zagidulin: Hello Phil I guess audio should be working let us know if it's not as usual if you can't hear one or more of the person speaking please try a different browser Firefox Safari try shift refreshing. ✪
<kerri_lemoie> The new entry screen should help with audio
<kerri_lemoie> Hah! Phil
Dmitri Zagidulin: Right exactly exactly I'm counting on the on the transcriber all right Kari is is the audio being recorded. ✪
Kerri Lemoie: It is recording a started and transcription and started to. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: Okay fantastic fantastic all right so I'm going to I'm going to share screen before we get started actually wait let's do the IP notifications. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: Okay so for those of you just joining again welcome to the VCU task force call Quick IP restriction notes anybody can participate in these calls overall substantive contributors to any ccg work items and this is a task for Club task force of the CCG must be members of the credentials community group with full IP our agreements signed let us know if you need the link meaning you can join you can listen. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: Fibbing to the fact you have to be a member you have to sign the agreement. ✪
Topic: Call Notes
Dmitri Zagidulin: Ze calls recorded the auto transcribe minutes and the audio recording is available on GitHub let us know if you need the link we use IRC Channel ccg and which is bridge to the jitsi chat here so we use the chat for queue management please type Q Plus like Q the letter and the sign + to add yourself to the queue. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: If you can't access chat and speak up will add you to the queue. ✪
Topic: Introductions and Reintroductions
Dmitri Zagidulin: Quick introductions reintroductions do we have anybody new to the call the 12 student reduce themselves. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: Speak up or mention something on the chat or raise your hand. ✪
Topic: Announcements and Reminders
Dmitri Zagidulin: Okay announcement send reminders as usual. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: The iiw internet identity Workshop is is coming up in a couple months it'll be held in person in the computer science museum in the Bay Area as usual so please consider attending if you haven't yet anybody else any other events or announcements to add. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: All right then let's let's jump into its let's talk about handling of duplicate credentials here in GT Chad is the link to the slide deck for those who want to follow along and I'll also share screen. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: I've also carry or Simone a or somebody else if I miss a cue place in chat please please let me know as I'm presenting okay here we go thank you so much appreciate it all right. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: So topic of the call today is a seemingly simple question of what do we do about duplicate credentials. ✪
Topic: Handling of Duplicate Credentials (Issuer and Wallet Considerations)
Dmitri Zagidulin: So we're going to talk about what is actually duplicate credential it's more complicated than initially hoped for we can talk about several scenarios that we've encountered in deploying educational credentials to wallets we can talk about the various ways to think about an educational credential and we'll discuss so what does this mean for our data models for issuing API and also how should wallets. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: Unity agree on common ui/ux patterns when dealing with duplicate credentials. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: Okay so here's a here's a trivial scenario for you. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: A learner has a verifiable credentials saved to their wallet. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: They're now adding an identical VC for example real real easy scenario to encounter example the DCC wallet allows you to add credentials by scanning a QR code which contains a full embedded credential in it right so for credentials under 4,000 characters long. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: Thousand bytes you can fit the whole credential in QR code so students scans the QR code it adds the credential they now either accidentally or because they forgot what the QR code contains scan it again. ✪
<pl> the downside of having identical credentials in the wallet?
Dmitri Zagidulin: You don't add it there's a message to the to the learner that says hey not adding the credential you already have one here to have one exactly like it. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: Question to think about for the group is. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: Are there any situations where. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: You explicitly wants to add an identical verify book or natural like by 4 B identical so that two copies appear on the user's screen when they list the credentials. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: My personal guess is now but it's worth thinking about. ✪
<pl> Multiple different backups?
Dmitri Zagidulin: Okay so this one's easy because the credentials are identical now what about and this is what. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: And mostly the same crew verifiable credential but the dates are different so specifically we've got two or three dates that are required by the VC data model so each credentials verifiable credential will have one or more of these days so each one has to be has to have an issuance date which for those following along on the. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: Call the field issuance date in 2.0 it will be replaced it will be deprecated issuance date and it will be replaced with a combination of valid from and date issued an issue date. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: Proposes and specifies an optional expiration date. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: And again in the VC 2.0 spec and working group the intention is to rename to deprecate expiration date and rename it valid until. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: To prevent various ambiguous cases that have come up. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: In addition we have the proof section of credentials and many proof mechanisms require a timestamp of when that group proof was created so if you're doing BBS Plus or LinkedIn proofs. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: They often have a created timestamp so. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: All right so this is just a different definition of the current spec issuance date meaning. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: It represents the date and the time the credential becomes valid. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: Firstly as far as I attack as far as it effects the educational use case think about a diploma think about a course completion credential. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: We now have the sort of semantic question of. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: What should they show issuance date is it. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: The year that the you know the exact month or day that the student graduated. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: When the diploma is valid from right and those could be slightly different that there could be a gap between when the students graduated and the diploma is valid or perhaps there's backdating such as those situations right so we need to think about the semantics of the issuance date field. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: Exact day time the learner graduated and proof created can be thought of as a different time that the registrar signed their diploma and again there could be about a gap student graduate one day the registrar signed the diploma a week after. ✪
Dmitri Zagidulin: So back to our topic what happens when a learner has a verifiable credential in the wallet. ✪
<kerri_lemoie> Unfortunately I think the transcriber has failed because the recording stopped (and was restarted).
<kerri_lemoie> Is anyone able to transcribe the rest of the call?
<kerri_lemoie> Will let Dmitri finish thoughts and then open up queue
<pl> I'll do it after I ask my questions
<pl> Kerri - existing open badges has an issued on field which would be replaced by issuance date.
<pl> Dmitri - may want to consider using 2.0 changes in the OBv3 and CLRv2
<nate_otto_(badgr/csky)> OB issuedOn is equivalenet to the new VC validFrom (rather than a created date)
<pl> Kerri - issued and awarded are often used interchangably. Awarded may be when the transfers it to the recipieint. Should we add the phrase "duplicate" on an reissued credential that isssued as an identical replacement. Used with Driver's Licenses
<pl> Messaging approach (dupllcate signifier)
<pl> What happens when email addresses change? Or DIDs change. Should consider guardianship.
<pl> I'm not getting audio connecte
<pl> Will rejoin
<kerri_lemoie> Good point Marty
<kerri_lemoie> Can they ever be truly identical since the proof will always be different?
<pl> Dmitri - downside of multiple identical credentials? Downside from storage perspective is nothing.
<pl> Dmitri - downside on the wallet is in the UI/UX and the user sees multiple credentials in their inventory
<pl> Multiple issued credentials - issuers should keep track of the issuance.
<pl> Previous comment was Uli's
<pl> David - what is the difference in the way credentials are treated? Are they considered the same or not? How does that interact with processes that treat credentials.
<pl> Dmitri - next steps
<pl> Dmitri - we want to add these situations to our use cases documents. We want to mention in notiifications; we want to consider new information needed to be added to an existing credential
<pl> Phil L. - get data from registrars on the true frequency of issued credentials are changed or edited.
<pl> What are the reasons for reissuance in the DCC pilot? Dmitri - narrow scope of pilot doesn't give a good representation of the problem. It's very easy to reissue which may be a bad thing.
<pl> Kerri - we have a topic for credential refresh which will allow us to return to this.
