   PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND FUNCTIONALITIES
   ● Introduction: MFSSIA (Multi-factor challenge-set self-sovereign identity
   authentication) is a protocol that uses blockchain technology to establish
   trust between systems, devices, organizations, and humans for secure
   data exchange in the emerging machine-to-everything (M2X) economy.

   PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND FUNCTIONALITIES
   ● Further key objectives and goals of our project:
   ○ provide a flexible and configurable challenge-set for self-sovereign
   identity authentication (IA) that is not limited to fixed challenge sets of
   limited degree.
   ○ create a marketplace for challenge-set creation and
   challenge/response-lifecycle management.
   ○ use decentralized knowledge graphs (DKG) and oracles for response
   evaluations.
   ● Key problem addressed:
   ○ in an untrusted M2X collaboration environment to establish self-
   sovereign identity authentication (SSIA)
   ○ use-context tailored challenge-set configuration

   METHODOLOGY AND APPROACH
   ●The MFSSIA development methodologies
   employs design-science research (DSR).
   ○ running case of cross-blockchain
   connection establishment
   ○ requirements derived from running case
   ○ integration of other ONTOCHAIN projects
   [decentralized knowledge graph (DKG),
   oracles, PerunX gateways]
   ●DKG for unified-view creation of distributed
   data
   ●Oracles for fetching off-chain data for
   response evaluations.

   METHODOLOGY AND APPROACH
   ● Unique or innovative techniques utilized.
   ○ flexibly scaling challenge/response lifecycle management
   ○ involves DKG, oracles, smart contracts
   ● Specific tools or technologies leveraged during development:
   ○ Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
   ○ SpringBoot with Docker supports the DKG REST client implementation
   ○ RPC interfaces for off-chain communication by smart contracts
   ○ JSON structures that the ontologies are mapped into
   ○ Node.js as an asynchronous event-driven JavaScript runtime
   ○ Ethereum and Polygon as smart-contract systems that must be connected
   ○ Java Spring Framework for stand-alone enterprise applications
   ○ Angular (Google) for typescript-based web applications
   ○ React (Facebook) for creating interactive UIs.

   RESOURCES & DEMONSTRATION
   ●For the demo, we have also a recorded video available: https://tinyurl.com/2ap46em8
   ●All demo-relevant information is available on this website: https://www.dymaxion-
   mfssia.com/mfssia/
   ●Installing the software
   ○ First, you need to clone the project with this command :
   ○ “git clone ”https://github.com/ONTOCHAIN/MFSSIA.git””
   ○ As there is only one repository provided by Ontochain it contains several projects
   located in the subfolders. The structure of the repository is:
   ■mfssia-authcoin
   ■mfssia-challenge-set-marketplace
   ■mfssia-dkg-authcoin
   ● Set up the decentralized knowledge graph (DKG) Version 6.
   ●The documentation for the DKG v5 setup testnet can be found here:
   https://docs.origintrail.io/developers/node-setup/testnet-installation
   ●Mainnet v5 docker installation can be found here:
   https://docs.origintrail.io/developers/node-setup/docker
   ●For the purpose of demonstration we have used the testnet
