The Hague, Day 6: The Middle of RWOT
Sep. 28th, 2022 06:31 pmThe Hague, Day 6: The Middle of RWOT
Today was the second day of RWOT, and it continued as it normally does.
Our group on identity attacks went quite well. We spent the morning researching DID (decentralized identifier) methods so that we could identify attacks that they were vulnerable to and attacks that they were proofing against. This gave us a solid foundation.
Then we spent the afternoon talking about those DID methods and attacks and eventually settled on five that we want to write about. We also outlined a format.
The goal is to as a group write up one of those tomorrow, and then jointly write three or four more. (And then we polish everything in our little bit of time Friday and voila we're done ... except I suspect that we won't quite get there as I'm going to also have to meet with all the groups to collect contact info going forward.)
The work has been nice because identity and identifiers are something that Blockchain Commons hasn't really been able to work on, but it's part of what got us into this space. So it's nice to dip a toe in again for something that I haven't seen much for three years (since the last RWOT, pre-COVID).
We also had a "Choose Your Own Adventure" break in the middle of the day where different people led conversations on different topics based on their expertise and/or open questions they had. One person was interested in NFC Tags & Cards, and I dove right into that because we've been experimenting with writing to NFCs at Blockchain Commons, so I've done lots of QAing of it. It was a good talk, with lots of discussion of the future of NFCs, with embedded chips that can do signatures and even embedded screens. The future is here!
That was pretty much it for the day because we broke early because tonight is demo night. This was super-exciting the first time we did it, I think in Boston, because it was people turning out ideas from RWOT into real products. It's still exciting now. But oh I wish it wasn't in the evening. It's supposed to run to 10pm, has already been overscheduled to 10.11pm, and will likely run later which means it's going to push back my sleep schedule (I was asleep around 10 last night), just when I need to start thinking about waking up early for the very long trip home.
