Trust Value Concepts
Key platform needs - trustless, secure, private, confidential, resilient, recoverable, any-protocol, everytime messaging, decentralized, governed, riskless, finalized transactions, D.ODS for identity, data, docs is decentralized
most user analytics normally run from a data warehouse or lake warehouse depending on complexity and speed required
decentralization benefits depend on context
- for governance and decision making, benefits are independence, consensus
- for for operations and use benefits of distributed systems are resiliency, reliability, availability, service
- for security, less vulnerable to threats

Digital ID Launches to Watch Webinar - Trinsic - 2025
interview on CA MDL - turn the DMV into an app ?? Riley Hughes - Trinsic
He listed 4 things he’d like to see an upcoming California governor commit to do: cut 65,000 regulations down to 10,000, replace the DMV with an app, cut taxes to near zero, and create school choice. He said this would create a Renaissance in California & a bellwether for the rest of the world.
<< comment on the above << "in theory there is no difference between theory and reality but in reality there is "
Digital IDs ubiquitously used in the Nordics claim fraud rates of only 0.00042%—far less than what Californian consumers & businesses currently deal with.
🤳 Friction reduction for digital transactions reduce lock-in and unlock massive economic potential.
🤝 Enhanced trust online (and in-person) drives social cohesion and accountability.
🪩 Improved privacy for consumers (recall the status quo is photographing & uploading copies of a physical ID card to sub-processors of sub-processors in a process opaque to the end user).
📈 McKinsey estimates advanced digital ID alone could unlock an additional 3% GDP growth in mature economies like USA and UK.

Better Value Solution Models - #VCRST - Dynamic Valuable Compliant Riskless Smart Trustless -
Value first - if the value isn't there no need to go further
Compliant - if it's not compliant with regulations and policies stop now
Riskless - if it's not effective in managing risk, stop now
Smart - if it isn't intelligent to manage and adapt in its environment to meet and improve performance against objectives, stop now
Trustless - if it doesn't meet or exceed ALL trusts ( not just security ) that need to be in place to operate, stop now
It learns and adapts to improve performance against objectives. Measures objectives to metrics to ensure value opportunity
yes ... REAL transaction management ( DvP etc ) and real document management are key capabilities to enable true DeFi apps.... We do have a strong trust foundation compared to other options. We DO need to focus on: the gaming model ( to optimize behavior in these networks ), AI for automated efficiencies and automated governance and compliance. OTHER DeFi solutions come up WAY short on real governance and compliance. There is zero reason we can't get that right at some point.
You're DRC proposal was a GREAT template. I grabbed it and just changed the Executive summary to focus on US related impacts and then dropped the percent targets from the use cases. That makes it a generic template. It is a very good model you created to focus on solution value delivered to the stakeholders -- that's where the interest comes from. The "HOW" we do it only matters after you win the value war

Better Trust Models and Architectures
Who has the vision here? Who can execute here ?
VSLT - virtual smart ledger technology
- is the physical "duct tape" that properly connects disparate systems in a decentralized, interoperable, high trust model. This "duct tape" doesn't automatically align with existing blockchains as is but there are a few providers that have a version of this today that I like. << Kaleido
Smart Semantic Adapters
Separately you need authorized, smart semantic adapters that enable end-to-end transactions via automated metadata mapping. We do have both architecture standards, patterns and technologies that make those smart connectors possible today. In the past, I did build some smart adapters based on metadata for transaction systems that worked well. Today's AI makes that easier. The ones I built used Machine Learning to generate them.

SAML 2.0 for IDMS delegation for authn, authz
- How SAML 2.0 worksSAML 2.0 is an XML standard that allows secure exchange of user authentication and authorization data between web applications and identity service providers (IdPs).
- How SAML 2.0 is usedSAML 2.0 is used to enable single sign-on (SSO). When a user logs in to a service provider (SP) using SAML, the SP checks the user's credentials with the IdP. The IdP then sends authorization and authentication messages back to the SP.
- Examples of SAML 2.0 in useSAML 2.0 can be used with Tableau, AWS IAM Identity Center, and Duo Single Sign-On:
- Tableau: Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud can use an external IdP to authenticate users over SAML 2.0.
- AWS IAM Identity Center: Users can sign in to the AWS access portal with their corporate credentials from an external IdP like Okta or Microsoft Entra ID.
- Duo Single Sign-On: Duo Single Sign-On can connect to any app that supports SAML 2.0 or OIDC.
SSO, OIDC, OAuth2 - connect other apps
SSO - Single Signon to multiple sites using same credentials ( Kerberos ticket granting server model )
Open ID Connect -
How OpenID Connect SSO Works? OpenID Connect will redirect a user to an identity provider (IdP) to check the user's identity, either by looking for an active session i.e Single Sign-On (SSO) or by asking the user to authenticate.
OpenID Connect (OIDC) is an identity authentication protocol that is an extension of open authorization (OAuth) 2.0 to standardize the process for authenticating and authorizing users when they sign in to access digital services. OIDC provides authentication, which means verifying that users are who they say they are. OAuth 2.0 authorizes which systems those users are allowed to access. OAuth 2.0 is typically used to enable two unrelated applications to share information without compromising user data. For example, many people use their email or social media accounts to sign in to a third-party site rather than creating a new username and password. OIDC is also used to provide single sign-on. Organizations can use a secure identity and access management (IAM) system like Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) as the primary authenticator of identities and then use OIDC to pass that authentication to other apps. This way users only need to sign in once with one username and password to access multiple apps.

sample code block
But in retrospect, it’s pretty obvious right? You have a plastic ID card. Why wouldn’t you also have a digital ID card? Especially when it’s easier to use online, better for privacy, and only takes 2 minutes to obtain.
mDL adoption is accelerating because it’s obvious. California doubled enrollment (from 600k to 1.2m) over the last few months. New York’s mDL is growing ~10% week-over-week. 10 more states will launch mDLs in 2025 (that we’re aware of!) and none show signs of slowing down.
And it’s not just constrained to the US. Buenos Aires launched digital driver’s licenses ~45 days ago, and have 200k+ downloads. (Podcast on this coming soon!)
In a recent version of the image associated with this post, we actually removed New Mexico because although we knew they were piloting/preparing, we couldn't find a public indication confirming their launch plans. But now, we get to add them back to the image! Unless we have another December surprise, the US states to launch an mDL in 2024 are: Virginia, Ohio, New York, Hawaii, New Mexico.
At this rate, I can't wait to see where we're wrong about our 2025 predictions!! We're doing a webinar next week called "2025 digital ID launches to watch" if the topic interests you register here: https://trinsic.id/webinar
