Phil and myself just got back from our walk through at the Josaphine Butler Parks Center where IIW-East opens tomorrow. He shot some photos of it (outside) (inside)
We are doing our first Internet Identity Workshop outside of the Bay Area and our first with a theme – Open Identity for Open Governmnet.
We have over 75 people attending from around the world – you can see the names at the bottom of the registration page.
The proposed topics shared so far as attendees register can be seen here on the wiki. They are amazingly diverse and center around key issues about policy, standards, legal frameworks and the path forward for those who care about creating an identity layer/infrastructure/platform that really works for people.
The actual agenda will be created tomorrow morning at 10 am following an introductory talk by Kaliya Young Hamlin and Mary Rudy at 9am. We will make the agenda for Friday at 9am that day.
Personally I am passionate about the conversations that will be happening about personal data stores and their evolution.
Your guide to Self-Sovereign Identity!
A comprehensive analysis of the technology, standards, projects, and companies that use blockchain for identity.
With Self Sovereign Identity, use Blockchain to enable a decentralized digital identity paradigm across the Internet.
Digital identity is an infrastructure necessary to do most everything on the Internet. Companies own the digital identities of the people that use their services. Centralized databases are a security risk for cyberattacks; not to mention the low integrity of stored data, and users have little to no control of how their data is secured.
This book will jumpstart your understanding of the industry; introduce you to the main technology, ledgers, wallets and projects; and help you understand how the pieces fit together.
