Digital Identity and Why it Matters: Exploring Blockchain Solutions

1:00 PM–1:30 PM Aug 2, 2023 (US - Pacific)

Palazzo Ballroom M

Description
 
With the increasing use of digital technologies in various aspects of our lives, the importance of decentralized digital identity has become more apparent. You already have many of these identities to work, drive a car, bank or get employed.
 
We’ve seen in recent years the need to present vaccination details to travel or access a business. This type of health information is part of your digital identity, along with banking information, employment, education and of course driver’s license, passport, resident card and birth certificate. In all those cases, our data goes through a proxy before it ends up in our wallets, aka an identity federation service. The big change happening is putting the user in control, removing the proxy and facilitating trust directly from the issuer to the user and the places where these IDs are presented, also called self-sovereign identity management.
 
Join us in this enlightening session as we uncover the potential of decentralized technologies, blockchain and beyond, in revolutionizing digital identity and learn why it matters in today's interconnected world. Gain insights into the latest developments, use cases, and real-world applications of digital identity solutions, and discover how they can transform the way we manage and protect our digital selves. Don't miss this opportunity to be at the forefront of the digital identity revolution!
