Note we will likely get started by 12:45 following the Protocol Worlds(but that option wasn’t on the calendar) in H2Hotel Greenroom
Identity is something everyone has - and all digital systems have versions of how identifiers, attributes and other aspects of self are expressed.
The session host is Kaliya Young also known as Identity Woman. She has worked for 20 years to steward a community innovating protocols for digital identity on the Internet. OpenID and OAuth were invented at the Internet Identity Workshop that she co-founded. These protocols are used throughout the internet today.
This session will cover the decentralized digital identity protocols that have emerged in the last 10 years. These include:
Decentralized Identifiers (W3C)
Verifiable Credentials (in all its flavors, VC vs mDL)
Digital Wallets (EUID, Approaches to Digital Wallets,
Decentralized Web Nodes (spec, companion guide)
(Decentralized) Governance/Trust Registries
Kaliya will share an overview of the protocols and technologies along with where they are currently being implemented and developed.
There will be an exploration of the current implementation landscape that includes many states adopting the technology, British Columbia, Bhutan, US Customs and Immigration, Switzerland, EU, Philipines, Thailand, South Korea.
Then hopefully we will have time to explore the space “Beyond Statist ID” to support conversations about how network-nations, pop-up cities, communities and people working on cultural transformation can use these protocols.
Also happy to have an AMA about any of the above and the digital identity world in general.
