Interesting - the W3C is about to charter a WG for 'Verifiable Claims' - which are intended to be essentially the same thing (I think). OpenBadge, Pearson and ETS are contributors with one purpose to publish OpenBadges via blockchain - which is very similar to the educational credentials objective at MIT Media Labs. *Andrew Hughes *CISM CISSP Independent Consultant *In Turn Information Management Consulting* o +1 650.209.7542 m +1 250.888.9474 1249 Palmer Road, Victoria, BC V8P 2H8 AndrewHughes3000@gmail.com ca.linkedin.com/pub/andrew-hughes/a/58/682/ *Identity Management | IT Governance | Information Security * On Thu, Nov 3, 2016 at 3:41 AM, j stollman <stollman.j@gmail.com> wrote:

The nice thing about the https://medium.com/mit-media-lab/what-we-learned-from-designing-an-academic-... post is that it starts to make clear the relationship between verifiable claims, identity, timestamps, and the authorization system for access to claims. This is the "stack" of standards that is emerging since IIW. Adrian On Thu, Nov 3, 2016 at 11:25 AM, Andrew Hughes <andrewhughes3000@gmail.com> wrote:
