Andreas explores the concepts of decentralized identifiers and verifiable credentials, and how these industry standards together with their implementations can be utilized to build secure and privacy-preserving federated, or even decentralized, trust networks without centralized 3rd party trust providers. He also discussed the role that MOBI is playing in rebuilding the web of trust through developing standards-based identity and assurance core services and application interoperability infrastructure for the mobiNET project, as well as why and how to get involved in the development.
