• Delegation of authority in hierarchical organizations
• Cross system validation and transportability
• Standardized format for Zero Knowledge Proofs and Verifiable Credentials Standards around requesting Verifiable Presentations / Selective Disclosures

Who is protecting the civil rights of people being tested, testing positive and /or dying and balancing the need for public health information?? 4. NHS COVID-19 patient data mining contract was awarded directly to controversial CIA-backed data surveillance firm Palantir under obscure UK statutory instrument and was NOT put to competitive public tender."
• interconnect and interoperate with 'old school' identity systems / services
