An Architecture for Universally Interoperable Open Source Wallets - Wenjing Chu, Futurewei Technologies, Inc.

Speakers: Wenjing Chu
Digital wallets are secure places where we can keep money, IDs, and credentials. More generally, they can be the convenient interface we feel comfortable to keep & manage all types of digital assets or any confidential or valuable data. How can such universal wallets be realized? How can these wallets from different vendors and/or industries be universally interoperable over the Internet/web in the same way the Internet/web itself is universally accessible? In this talk, Wenjing will lead a discussion on this vision of trust over the whole Internet/web, what tremendous benefits - financially and socially - it can bring, and most importantly, how we can achieve it through an Internet inspired architecture and open source. Prominent open source implementations & community specs, e.g. DIDcommv2, KERI, DWP/Web5 (TBDex), libp2p, Indy/Aries, OpenID/FIDO etc. will be presented as case studies to demonstrate path for interoperability based on this architecture. We can have the cake and eat it too.
