Practical Technology Showcase Summary 2021-10-08: YouID — a Verifiable Credentials Generator
Knowledge Graphs, Linked Data, and Data Connectivity related posts and live demonstrations.
We are pleased to reintroduce the iOS (available immediately!) and Browser Extension variants (available soon!) of our YouID Credentials Generator, with a major version bump from 1 to 2 and enormous functionality improvements.
Both app and extension provide a “deceptively simple” solution for creating user-controlled verifiable credentials immediately usable with Internet and Web applications and services.
Both solutions use existing open standards (PKCS#12, X.509, TLS, and HTTP) and best practices (e.g., Public Key Infrastructure [PKI]) to facilitate personal privacy-related best practices, such as —
Digitally Signing Emails — enabling verification of message sender
Digitally Signing & Encrypting Emails — ensuring messages can be read only by designated recipients
Securely Sharing Files (Photos, Music, other Document Types) with family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, and other groups, without the need for third-party account creation by each group member
Authenticating Without Passwords
Additional YouID Information
