Is Decentralized Identity the Missing Piece in Today’s Digital World? - Impact Blockchain Conference

Описание: Today, 850 million individuals still do not have access to an official ID, and for people who do, their identity is often provided by a trusted third party, public or private, with little interoperability with other identity systems or with digital ecosystems. Giving people access to secure, verifiable and user-centric digital identities is essential to ensure equal and inclusive access to essential services, be it healthcare, education, financial services, social benefits, or participation in governance. Web3’s decentralized digital identity solutions are designed to give back to users verifiable ownership over their own data and identifiers.

How can new decentralized identity systems help us achieve sustainable development goals? What are the challenges to implement these new solutions in a trustworthy, privacy-respecting, inclusive and accessible manner? How do these new technical architectures impact our very understanding of what personal identity actually is?
