Description in ProjectForum
The research of the Delft Blockchain Lab orients around digital identity, cryptographic key management, verifiable claims, self-organisation, trust, and tamper-proof datastructures (e.g. blockchain). In collaboration with the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Delft Blockchain Lab offers a unique project on building critical infrastructure during the Corona crisis.
The ongoing outbreak of the novel COVID-19 (Corona) virus is an unprecedented threats to humanity. The developments around the Corona virus across the world are demonstrating the fragility of current organisational models, usually involving a political model where decisions flow from top (a government) down to municipalities and individuals. One of the objectives of our lab is to explore and deploy bottom-up organizational paradigms that put citizens in power, instead of authorities. The main goal of this project is to build open-source, critical infrastructure for the identification of recovered Corona patients. The project aligns with digital companies and health initiatives around the world, like VODAN (Virus Outbreak Data Network) and the medical centers of Rotterdam and Leiden.
Problem Description
As a first step towards this goal, we seek to expand our Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) library with health features. Delft University of Technology, together with the ministry of internal affairs developed a library for SSI that enables the creation of attestations and privacy-preserving proving of claims. Our mobile Android application has the potential to provide passport-grade identities to every citizen of the Netherlands. Specifically, this project would entail the integration of a Corona blood test where you can prove to other users (and businesses) whether you recovered from the Corona virus and therefore has built up resistance. During the coming months, quickly proving such resistance might become a key requirement by certain sectors, e.g., health care, and to better quantify the progress of herd immunity. Integration of a "Corona check" is a small, yet critical step towards a full health record database later on, based on a Self-Sovereign Identity solution.
Note that your work has the potential to be deployed on a larger scale. Therefore, we are specifically looking for motivated students with interest in digital identity solutions.
Self-Sovereign Identity
SSI puts people in charge of their own digital identities. The key idea is that companies can provide attestations to the digital identities of users. Users can then use these attestations in interactions with others to prove various claims, e.g., whether they have the legal age to buy alcoholic drinks from stores, without revealing sensitive information. Since 2016, our research line on SSI has been covered by several media outlets and currently, the third generation of prototypes is being defined together with the RvIG.
