Name: Secure Patterns for Internet CrEdentials (SPICE)
Description
Digital credentials are essential to identity, authorization, licenses, certificates and digitization use cases that are part of modernization efforts targeting efficiency, and transparency, such as digital licenses or certificates of origin.
At IETF 118, SPICE had a WG forming BOF, see the BoF Request:
- https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/bofreq-prorock-secure-patterns-for-internet-credentials-spice/03/
- https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/118/materials/slides-118-spice-complete-slide-deck-pdf-00
There was energy in the room, but the details of the specific drafts and the charter were not clear enough.
Since IETF 118, the draft charter, and several individual drafts have been shared on the SPICE list:
Regular informal meetings have been held, open to everyone, with agenda's and minutes to the best of our ability.
We have developed a revised proposed charter that addresses the feedback we have gathered from IETF 118, and on the lists.
We believe the charter is nearing a state of universal support from active contributors, but we are still making refinements.

Agenda
Problem Statement (30 min)
- Problem Area and Introduction to Digital Credentials
- Known Use Cases
