Keynote: The Reality of Developing an Artificial World

How I Bought Booze with a JSON Web Token
In recent years, we've seen the prevalence of delivery apps that are ready and willing to bring whatever you need right to your doorstep - whether that be food, groceries, or even alcohol.
However, in the case of the latter, verifying one's age for alcohol purchases poses an interesting challenge. Traditional methods, like presenting a physical ID, are not feasible for online transactions. And sharing complete personal details like date of birth online can compromise privacy.
Fortunately, nowadays people can share a special JSON Web Token (JWT), known as a Verifiable Credential (VC), to digitally prove to both the vendor and the delivery company that they are of legal drinking age.
Adhering to W3C open standards, VCs offer a streamlined, privacy-centric method to digitally verify just about any qualification including identity, employment, education, residency, and so much more!
Join this session for a practical demonstration of creating and sharing tamper-evident digital credentials in the form of JWTs. Learn how these credentials not only enhance efficiency but also uphold privacy in online transactions.
