Introducing "Trusted Web" vision

[shigeya]

Session description

Trusted Web is a vision to improve trust in the Internet by expanding the area where data itself and data exchange activities can be verified without overly relying on a specific service. Trusted Web is an ongoing effort of the Trusted Web Promotion Council (TWPC) organized together by academia, enterprises, and the Headquarters for Digital Market Competition, a part of the Japanese Government.

TWPC published white papers (version 1.0 and 2.0) until last year. The white paper discusses the backgrounds, principles, systems architecture, governance mechanisms, and guidelines for practical implementation. Ongoing discussions on data security technologies at W3C, such as Verifiable Credentials and Decentralized Identifiers, heavily influenced the architecture and its discussion. Also, the white paper reflects various feedbacks from multiple experimental projects or use case discussions.

TWPC members are working on the new whitepaper version to be published this fall.

In this session, one of the members of the TWPC introduces the current discussion and current architectural and governance design.

Post-TPAC note: The W3C staff is not aware of any minutes being taken at this session.

@ianbjacobs, thanks for the comments. These are totally different projects. While I'm involved with both of the projects, I prefer them to be separated.
