How to eSign a document: online signature legality for Travel Agency Agreement in United States

let's see what this looks like in practice in the  first flow we're going to look at how a travel   agency obtains a credential from MATTR that will  allow others to recognize them as a trusted seller   in the IATA ecosystem so smith travel is a new  travel agency who wishes to sell flight offers   on behalf of airlines this is currently done by  applying for an IATA code from any of the IATA   agency programs for this particular use case we'll  take an example of an agency holding an iota code   through TIDS let's take a look at how this  application might look like with DIDs and   VCs to become a part of the IATA ecosystem smith  travel first needs to generate an identifier a DID   which is unique to their business that  they maintain and have complete ownership   and control over okay so on my laptop over  here i've loaded up the matter cloud wallet   and you can see that i already have a DID web  created for smith travel um and to create new DIDs   you can just press create a new DID select your  key method and the key type and just press create   and this should create you a DID the  digital wallet or enterprise platform   being run by the holder generates the keys and  the metadata necessary to establish the DID   the process could involve anchoring the DID on  either a public ledger or a private registry to   allow others to resolve the associated  document which contains the latest key   and service information for our cases we created  a DID web for smith travel so that the document is   hosted on the smith travel domain okay now let's  take a look at how we can register smith travel   with the IATA registry on this tab i've gone ahead  and pulled up the IATA registry prototype and i   can just click on register my organization  and it tells me stuff that i would need   to join this ecosystem such as DID support.com  support the verifiable credential and presentation   specs and have a wallet for DID management  and credential management i can go in and   register as a travel agent and select the TIDS  program i will then go in and upload my logo and then fill out the rest of the information okay so i've already gone ahead and filled in the  data but the important thing to note is this DID   this decentralized identifier which we've put down  and here as DID web smithtravel.matterlabs.com   and it is a DID that smith travels has  in their wallet and has control over   so now i can resubmit and this is going to go  ahead and send the presentation request asking   smith's travel to verify that they have control  over that DID using a process called DID auth   okay so back on the wallet i will go in  and go on to the inbox tab and we will see   a DID verification request message if we open  that up we can see that IATA has requested to   us to verify a DID i'm going to select the DID  that we entered in the website and press submit   cool once that's done i can go  back to the registry and see that   my DID has been successfully verified and  i can press finish once their identity is   confirmed with IATA it generates a credential that  recognizes smith travel as being the participant   in the airline distribution chain and i can go  back into my wallet and see a credential offer   from IATA that is my registered travel agency  identification credential and i can just go ahead   and press store okay so to view this credential we  can just go under the credentials tab and there we   go that's our credential over here the issued  credential is stored on the IATA registry for   others to look up in verify smith travel the  use of the registry can also be extended to   allow for things such as the identification  of credentials issued to individual agents   by smith travel okay so back on the IATA registry  i can now go in and search for smith's travel   and we can see smith travel registered here  all of its company information is listed and   then we also have this one credential that is the  registered travel agent identification credential   also present in this registry here's what a  verifiable credential issued by IATA two airlines   and agents might look like it would be expressed  using the w3c verifiable credential data model   which describes how the credentials should  be created by the issuers and interpreted by   verifiers in addition to the requirements  defined by the model the credential will   also carry a set of claims about the agency which  could include their name type and contact details   with this information other parties in the IATA  ecosystem can quickly and reliably authenticate   and understand an agent's role to  enable trusted interactions to occur
