Portable digital credentials such as Verifiable Credentials and related technologies are attracting attention, but there are various considerations when using these digital credentials for KYC at financial institutions, for example. Keio University SFC Research Institute and ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation have been conducting joint research on the management requirements and governance of digital credentials in light of the latest trends in the EU and Europe. In this session, we will introduce the discussion paper "Management Requirements According to the Use of Digital Credentials" jointly published by the two parties, and discuss the issues that will be necessary for applying digital credentials to financial services in the future.
11:00-11:55 Open Banking and FAPI 2.0 Takahiko Kawasaki (Authlete)
In the mid-2010s, the UK launched the Open Banking policy, with the main goal of stimulating competition in the financial industry. This policy created a mechanism for accessing financial services from computer programs, which resulted in the creation of a wide variety of financial services and made people's lives more convenient. The open banking movement has now spread around the world, and the technical support for it is a global standard technical specification called FAPI. FAPI also reached a major milestone in February of this year, when the final version of FAPI 2 was approved. In this session, Authlete, the company to which the authors of the FAPI 2.0 specification belong, will explain open banking and FAPI 2.0.
