Applications include: (i) a portable personal achievement record, to be used as a point in the cloud from which a learner can interact (and communicate) with learning providers and transition between them, and into employment, sharing trustworthy qualification data at each step; (ii) sharing of proof of identity held by one bank to another to open a new account, or to DWP when claiming Universal Credit; (iii) sharing of a 'key-worker' credential, to be used to claim priority in the booking of a slot for home delivery of groceries; and (iv) the sharing of a covid-19 immunity certificate from a test lab to an employer (should society decided to follow that route).

Note there are quicker ways to achieve (iii) and (iv): this is an infrastructure project to address a broad class of applications, not a quick fix.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
