EBSI Verifiable Credentials presented at INATBA Digital Credential Workshop
On 25 October 2021, the European Commission’s European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) team participated in the Digital Credential Workshop, organised by the INATBA-Government Advisory Body.
INATBA (the International Association for Trusted Blockchain Applications) offers public and private developers and users of DLT a forum to interact with regulators and policy makers.
This workshop explored the technical requirements for enabling interoperable exchange of digital credentials across jurisdictions, notably international jurisdictions.
The European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) team presented its profile of Verifiable Credentials fully based on World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Verifiable Credentials and DID standards.
Decentralised identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, decentralised digital identity. A DID refers to any subject (e.g., a person, organisation, thing, data model, abstract entity, etc.) as determined by the controller of the DID. The design enables the controller of a DID to prove control over it without requiring permission from any other party. DIDs are Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) that associate a DID subject with a DID document allowing trustable interactions associated with that subject. They are based on the Self-sovereign identity paradigm.
DID standards are becoming the basis for most Verifiable Credentials projects using different profiling.

Join the Early Adopters Programme - Imagining what EBSI can do for European citizens
The European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI implements blockchain technology that provides European citizens with services based on European values, such as interoperability, security and trust. Right now, the EBSI Early Adopters programme is showing us how Europe's emerging blockchain infrastructure will look in practice.
Take a moment to look at this incubator helping Early Adopters and their partners imagine, build and launch their EBSI pilot project(s) in production to get involved and if you're building a blockchain wallet, find out how to make it EBSI-compatible!
