· ·

I chatted with Alexa Raad and Leslie Daigle of Techsequences about self-sovereign identity: what identity is and how we’ve lost control of our own identity in today’s world.

“Who are you?”. Answering that may seem at once easy and yet incredibly complex.  In the real world, we are born with, gain or develop aspects of our identity.  But distinguishing who is who is a lot more complex online.  Multiple entities assign IDs and keep track of our activities. Identity models have evolved from the traditional or siloed model to the federated models.  The common denominator however is that you are not in control of your identity. Join us for a conversation with Kaliyah Young, expert in self-sovereign identity, on how we as individuals can gain control over what is uniquely ours: our identity.

Are you in charge of your own digital identity? How do you share “verifiable” information about yourself on the internet?

Defining Self-Sovereign Identity with Kaliya Young: Coding Over Cocktails Podcast

I had the opportunity to discuss digital identity with Kevin Montalbo and David Brown, two co-hosts of the Coding Over Cocktails Podcast. The topics we covered were: the different domains of identity, how our identities are currently held and managed by corporations, civil society, and governments, and why we should advocate for the rights of our digital selves.

Human Centered Security Podcast

· ·

I was invited to join Heidi Trost to join her on my new podcast focused on Human Centered Security. We had a great chat focused on Self-Sovereign Identity.

You can find it here on the Web, Spotifiy or Apple Podcast

In this episode we talk about:

What Kaliya describes as a new “layer” to the Internet to support decentralized identity, much like how html or email supported what came next.

The importance of open standards.

How to build a “digital wallet” paradigm that makes sense to people.

What SSI means for businesses/business models.

Kaliya is the co-author of “Comprehensive Guide to Self-Sovereign Identity,” and author of “Domains of Identity.” She is also one of the co-founders of the Internet Identity Workshop, which brings together people to help develop open standards for ways people can own and control their digital representations of themselves.

Interview: Voices of VR Podcast

I got to speak with Kent Bye on his voices of VR Podcast. We were together at the DWeb Summit and that set the context for our conversation. I hadn’t listened to this interview ever until today – it is fun. I laugh a lot. Enjoy.

I had a chance to catch up with Young at the Decentralized Web Summit where we talk about the Decentralized Identifiers standards and the history of self-sovereign identity.

Halley and I talk Identity – Podcast from BlogHer

· · 1 Comment

One of the highlights of BlogHer for me was my first podcasting experience with Halley Suitt. I was sitting around at a ‘podcasting’ station and she showed up and the John Furrier who runs PodTech was there and so we did a spontaneous recording… here is the result. Wow! listening I actually don’t mind my voice.

How do we make the internet a trusted place?
Is the net a more dangerous place for women?
Halley discusses her digital identity experiences – writing about sex on the net, and lingerie photos of her on the net.
I mention the founding of Virtual Rights to address this new era of personal representation online. I share what inspires me how we can use these tools to empower us as citizens.

Co-Evolutions of Knowledge Networks

· · Leave a Comment

I listened to this podcast last night and was surprised to learn that national science foundation is funding the building of a really cool DataWeb. Enjoy…Noshir Contractor at MeshForum 2005
Dr. Contractor presents a multi-theoretical multilevel model of using technologies to understand knowledge and social network organization through the discussion of real-world examples. From the ‘Lovegety’ to Amazon purchase suggestions and beyond, Dr. Contractor outlines the concepts that form the basis of social and knowledge networks.
Those concepts are:

  1. the social network, “it’s not what you know, but who you know”;
  2. the cognitive-social network, “it’s not who you know, it’s who they you think you know”;
  3. the knowledge network, “it’s not who you know, it’s what they think you know”;
  4. the cognitive-knowledge network, “it’s not who you know, it’s what who you know knows.”
