2. 2 Agenda & Objectives 1. Introduction to Open Wallet Foundation 2. Uses for a wallet in the energy domain 3. Example Open Wallet Foundation project: VC-API a. Demo Agenda • Share knowledge of Open Wallet Foundation and digital identity credentials to further the advancement of technology in the energy domain • Get some feedback from LF Energy community: where could open wallets and decentralized identity support LF Energy community Objectives
3. 3 Digital Identity Credentials Issuer Create and Issue Credentials Holder Store & Share Credentials Credentials Verifier Verify & Process Credentials Credentials Icons from flaticon.com
4. 4 Applying Digital Credentials to Energy: Consumer as Credential Subject Energy Supplier as Issuer Create and Issue Energy Contract Consumer as Holder Store & Share Energy Contract Credentials Charge Point Operator as Verifier Verify and Process Energy Contract Credentials Case study: Elia Group and Energy Web's Rebeam project: - Energy Web case study page - Elia case study page Icons from flaticon.com
5. 5 Applying Digital Credentials to Energy: Assets as Credential Subject Asset Manufacter as Issuer Create and Issue Credentials Consumer as Holder Store & Share Credentials describing the asset Credentials Flexibility Aggregator as Verifier Verify & Process Credentials Credentials Example: Elia Group and Energy Web's Self-Sovereign Identity for Flexibility enrolment demo site Icons from flaticon.com

7. 7 Applying Digital Wallets to Energy: LF Energy Connections A first attempt at fitting Digital Wallets to LF Energy domain Please don't be limited by this!
8. 8 One level deeper: VC API - "VC" is the acronym for "Verifiable Credential", which is a W3C standard digital credential data model - VC API is an HTTP interface specification for "Verifiable Credential lifecycle management"
9. 9 VC API Explained a Different Way Issuer Create and Issue Credentials Holder Store & share credentials Credentials Verifier Verify and Process Credentials Credentials VC API is an interface to interact with system to accomplish the above
