This repository contains documents related to the Design Workshop Event following the UN ID 2020 Summit on identity

The DesignShop event, to be held in the New York on May 21rd & 22th 2015.The event focuses on creating the next generation of decentralized web-of-trust based identity systems. The goal of this initial DesignShop is to generate 5 technical white papers and/or proposals on topics decided by the group that will have the greatest impact on the future.

In advance of the ID 2020 Design DesignShop, all participants were requested to submit a 1 or 2 page topics paper to be shared with other attendees on either:

• A specific decentralized identity use case related to the topic of the UN ID 2020 Summit
• A specific problem that you'd like to solve with a decentralized or web-of-trust solution, and why current solutions (pgp or ca-based pki) can't address the problem
• A specific solution related to the decentralized identity or web-of-trust that you'd like others to use or contribute to
