"my details aren't stored on protocol" 🔥🚒🧯

Nice, Is this implemented by VCs ( verifiable credentials) and an EID wallet ?

Wait, are you saying you can implement ID verification on ATProto without publishing PII publicly?!?

But are you sure you’re holding it right? Cause I read on this platform that everything is public on the AT protocol.

Nice. While back I had a thought that someone should try implementing similar verification with Estonian eID.

Switzerland is also developping an e-ID (there was a public vote on it last year or so) Could be a good way to verify official accounts of people working in government or other public-facing positions 🤔 Just curious how it would work for people who prefer to use pseudonyms...

You can verify that you're a person without verifying your name (those are two separate labels). Imposing real names is a really bad idea, it mostly increases toxicity. It's an idea that mostly makes sense to politicians because they wouldn't dream of *not* having their name there :)

That's why I asked - I've had my fair share of online experience in fandom spaces with my real name involved, so I prefer to keep it offline now. I don't mind verifying I'm a person in some thought-through way or other, though. 😊

Me likey. What will be required to port/integrate other government-issued ID credentials?

Integration is a little all over the place, it really depends on where. I'm not the expert though, just the pretty face — if you have a government in mind, we can figure that out and talk!

"details aren't stored on protocol" Is anything stored on protocol (a signed verifiable credential for example) or is this a proprietary thing that requires queries to an external API? Is it extensible in a way that other verifiers could participate? Will it support all EIDAS / EUDI countries?

The label is stored, but it's just a label. The model is extensible. Just sharing a demo for now as we're getting it ready for next week's conference (at which people will be able to use it themselves). It's important to get this right, so I can't commit to a release date yet!

Presumably there is some kind of signature a client can verify? Where is the root of trust? Governments? Or an intermediate verification entity? Looking forward to the release, this sounds exciting. (Will the presentation be recorded?)

Curieux de savoir si des solutions équivalentes existent ou sont en développement dans d'autres pays de l'UE.

Oui, à des niveaux de maturité différents.

Côté français ?
