Presentation and Q&A: A Government
Backed Protocol for Digital Permissions

25. Challenge:
Protocol for
approval
management
How to register and
communicate digital
permissions on a global scale
Flores Bakker
Enterprise Architect Ministry of Finance in cooperation
with the Ministry of Justice and Security

26. Introduction
26

27. Approval and consent
› We approve and consent every
day in some form or way;
› We approve an action to be taken
or we consent with the status of
an entity (thing, process);
› We approve as business co-
worker, civil servant, civilian or
other;
› We approve and consent
increasingly through digital
means;
27

28. 28
Are you following me?

29. Cookie requests
29
› More and more companies are
tracking individual persons
› More and more information is
being sold to third parties
› Approval is asked...
› ...but where is my ‘red button’
in case I want to retract my
given approval?
› Do I really know and control
which parties are using my
personal information and in what
way?
? ?

30. More examples
› Consent requests for the use of your
personal or your company’s
information by other parties
› Approval requests for copyright
licenses
› Approval requests for budgetting and
purchasing within an organisation
› Consent requests for the accurate
representation of a witness account
› Consent requests with the status of an
item of property or work (inspection)
› ...and many more
30

31. Why do we approve?
› We approve and consent because we
have the legal power to do so;
› We approve and consent because
there are legal consequences in
some form or way for us or the
organisations on behalf of whom we
are approving or consenting;
31

32. The power to consent
› The power to consent is actually
the power to change a legal
relationship
› Based upon the framework of
fundamental legal concepts by
Hohfeld (1918)
› Approving or consenting leads to
a change in the legal position
of a stakeholder, resulting in
more or less rights and duties
for the stakeholder in question.
32

33. Theory: rational decision making
› Approving is a form of decision making;
› Decision Making Theory identifies seven
phases in the rational decision making
model;
› Now we can define what is true informed
consent:
– Clear context
– Clear consequences
– Clear risks
› Approving needs trust in the accuracy,
completeness and up-to-date presentation
of this information position. 33

34. Reality: intuitive decision making
› In reality we are not always that
rational;
› Intuitive decision making is often
the way decisions are made in real
life, based on cues, patterns and
action scripts;
› Intuitive decision making needs
trust in the strength of those cues,
patterns and action scripts;
› Intuitive decision making should not
be denied as it is human to do so.
The solution lies in combining it with
rational decision making. 34

35. Trust is an important aspect of consent
› Trust is built upon:
– Fully Informed Consent
– Non-repudiation (authenticity, integrity)
– Uniformity
– Compliancy
– Agility
– Adequate infrastructure
– Resiliency
– Strong cues, patterns, action scripts
– User friendliness
35

36. The challenge
› Develop an open source, decentralized
and government backed protocol for
registering and communicating digital
permissions;
› Re-usable for any type of stakeholder,
approval process and application;
› High trust;
› For civilian, governmental and
commercial use.
36

37. Properties of the solution
› Supports non-repudiation (authenticity and
integrity) and other trust aspects;
› Supports fully informed consent (context,
consequences and risks) but also strong cues and
patterns;
› Registers exact information position upon which
a stakeholder will give his response;
› Uniform protocol across the globe;
› Evolvability – future changes to the protocol
(new laws, new processses, etcetera) should be
implemented easy and without the possibility of
corrupting older approval transactions;
› Open Source.
37

38. Innovation – think outside the box
› Standardised contract terms across the globe?
› Contract terms satisfaction/reputation score?
› Anonymous statistics in how other users have
responded in similar cases?
› What is the role of incentives and tokenization? I.e.
artificial intelligence or third party experts explaining me
the contract terms, risks and consequences of approval in
layman’s terms?
› What is the role of gamification?
› Self-sovereign: my wallet of consent?
› Taxonomy for approval contracts? The use of Linked
data?
› Paving the way for automated decision making?
› Dare to experiment!
38

39. DigiAkkoord – approval application
39
Innovation project
“DigiAkkoord” at department
of Justice and Security,
release somewhere in 2019;
Focuses on a re-usable
application for all approval
processes within the
government;
DigiAkkoord is not really a
protocol but a business
building block;
Challenge has more global
perspective and more
emphasis on protocol
development compared to
DigiAkkoord;

45. What is IOTA / the IOTA foundation?

46. The IOTA Protocol
Highly
Scalable
Zero-fee
transactions
Low resource
requirements
Secure data
transfer
Quantum
Immune
A permissionless
decentralised and
self-regulating
P2P network
Overcoming
the limitations of
Blockchain

47. Blockchain Scaling Issues
Slow
Confirmations
Expensive
Fees
Consensus
Bottleneck

48. More activity
More validation
=
The Tangle

49. Donations of
$100M+ to date
Hubs in Berlin, Tel Aviv,
Oslo, Taipei
More than 80 employees
around the globe
Ecosystem of more
than 100 entities
> 70k active
community members
> 120k content followers
Ecosystem Development Fund
$13M+ in funding
nearly $100k awarded to date
A global Foundation, based in Berlin

50. Creating a government backed
protocol for digital permissions
Using IOTA technology

51. Why IOTA?
- Scalable
- No fees, no hassle
- Data transactions supported
- Lightweight
- Open source and permissionless
- Quantum immune, ready for the future

52. IOTA Networks
Due to the nature of IOTA, you are able to send
transactions on the Mainnet without fees. This lets
you publish transactions with data directly on the
Mainnet for no cost.
However, it is best to use the Devnet to build Proof
of Concept applications. This network is run by the
IOTA Foundation for developer to use and test on as
they please. We also have a Faucet which dispenses
tokens for use on the Devnet.
We also have a Spamnet for testing the protocols
resilience to high TPS.
The configuration of the `Devnet`

53. Client Libraries
● Typescript/Javascript library
● Go and Java libraries
● C libraries (Entangled, WIP)
● Python and C++
#development

54. Masked Authenticated
Messaging (MAM)
● Secure message streams over the tangle
● Feeless messages
● Currently Javascript/Typescript only
● New C-based implementation in the works
● Both public and private messages possible
#mam

55. ??? ???????? ????
????
????????????
2nd Layer libraries like MAM do not require protocol
changes or hardforks, they can be built and
supported by anyone to ensure that IOTA fits their
needs.

57. Relevant projects done with IOTA
● TangleID project (https://tangleid.github.io)
● Digital identity Proof of concept by VX Company
#development

58. What will the IOTA Foundation provide
We will be there with 2 coaches (Jedi’s) to support
teams working with IOTA
Content packages and support for teams will be
available before and during the hackathon
We will publicly communicate about the event and
the participating projects before, during and after
the hackathon
