APA would like a liaison statement #108
Comments
Could someone please help me understand what is “successor publication to inaccessible CAPTCHAs” and the synergy with VCs? I am sorry if I have missed some conversations, but I am lacking the context to approve the PR atm. |
@michael-n-cooper the question is really for you. What I know is that the WAI team are working on accessible versions captcha-s (the current, visual captcha-s are horrible). I suspect some people in the APA group are considering VC-s a possible tool for these, and they would like the VC group to look over their shoulders... If this is indeed the case, it would be a great use case (and, to be honest, unbeknownst to me). |
@iherman @Sakurann this is picking up on a conversation at the Fukuoka TPAC: https://www.w3.org/2019/09/20-webauthn-minutes.html There aren't headings, search for "Janina: ... we have been looking at captcha" for the start of that topic. APA has been exploring this in the Research Questions Task Force, and wants to work on a Note-track deliverable jointly with Verifiable Credentials on how "zero knowledge proof" can replace current CAPTCHAs. |
@michael-n-cooper this puts the original request in another perspective. The WG does have experts on ZKP-s, that is clear. But the charter of the WG is not on ZKP; VC-s are only "users" of ZKP-s. Actually, the charter is pretty explicit about the group not working on crypto primitives per se. I am sure ZKP experts would be happy to talk to APA on its usage on CAPTCHAs. But if I misunderstood, and the idea is not to use VCs but a particular crypto primitive, then I do not think the liaison statement makes sense in the charter. |
