tbDEX: An Open Protocol for Global Money Movement
The web connected us all, but cross-border payments have not kept pace. The legacy payment system is held together with proverbial duct tape, concealing fundamental problems such as the slow and expensive final settlement of payments. These inefficiencies result in costly account fees or outright exclusion from the global financial system for people in certain areas of the world.
In this talk, you will learn how tbDEX - an open source liquidity and trust protocol - unlocks frictionless commerce and global financial access while also enabling participants to securely validate counterparty identity as well as compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
Keynote: The Reality of Developing an Artificial World
Our world is changing. Artificial intelligence is being employed in just about all walks of life - from virtual assistants to self-driving cars. How does this new way of life impact software development?
In this talk, Angie will share her personal journey in learning how to test the AI-based applications that we develop, and highlight just how important it is to society that we get this right.
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.
