What topics are you planning to present about or lead a discussion about at this IIW?

• Verifiable Credentials with identity assurance claim schemas
• KERI
• Issuance and verification of verifiable credentials Web/cloud wallets UX related to all the new VC-stuff
• Data analytics
• service user (aka workloads, technical users etc) ICAM topics (e.g. towards device-IAL, service-user-IAL&AAL), Organizational Identities, Attestation/notary services, advanced authorization, SSI topics, * ICAM in (I)OT use cases...

• Work on our LInkedClaims project and possibly it's follow on work the Resume Author. The first is a web-based Verifiable Credential self-asserted credential authoring tool, with a companion *Recommendation VC that can be bound to the former by a hashlink. The Resume Author builds an traditional resume from a compound VC with a hashlinked Narrative Credential that guides a reader through a *story arc telling why someone is applying for whatever it is, and uses hashlinks from the text to either credentials or elements in credentials in the resume.

• New Standards, proofs of concepts for advanced implementations, interoperability, ease of use
• Digital Identity
• ID wallet ecosystem, interoperability, use cases, business models, privacy
• Roads to interop on VCs, DIDs, ....
