History

The history of identity online. Finger, CompuServe, DNS/WWW, Facebook

The slides are based on this blog post: https://schmud.de/posts/2021-04-22-id-through-time.html

Nothing to prevent players to take advantage of SSI. They may add something small and useful aspects to the protocols.

The hope is that our stuff is super interoperable. So you can actually really leave.

Facebook is interesting because it was based on the .edu domain. Small network. Solving for the endstate that we see now is different than starting back then.

Zero-knowledge proofs and trustless networks may require high-trust environments for adoptions.

  • State of Identity with IDRamp (Enterprise SSI company)

    As someone who has uniquely spent their full career immersed in identity, Mike Vesey (CEO of IdRamp) shares an insider perspective of how the industry has evolved during his tenure. This episode dives into the impacts of rapid digitalization worldwide, where identity is heading due to digital transformation, and the benefits that come with it.

SSI vs Santa

  • Phil Wolff shares:

    In 2021 Santa decentralizes his list, no longer relying on children’s Real Names in compliance with kid privacy laws. Self-sovereign identity lets kids ask Santa, confident their identities are authenticated (right toys to the right kid) & that he uses verified naughty/nice data.

Remembering Kim Cameron

I (Kaliya) will be working on a blog post for next week. For those of you who didn’t know Kim I’m very sad you will not get to meet him. He contributed greatly to our field. He was a good friend to many and a mentor and ally for women working in the field. His Laws of Identity shape and continue to shape our industry - in invite you to read people’s reflections to get a small sense of who he was. 2005-05-13

Friends of the late computer scientist Kim Cameron took the opportunity of gathering at the KuppingerCole European Identity & Cloud Conference (EIC 2022, to remember Cameron, his life and contribution to digital identity and beyond via his 7 Laws of Identity.

Kim stood for all that is right in the intersection of technology and humanity.

Kim pushed constantly toward openness, inclusivity, compatibility, cooperation, and the need for individual agency and scale.

Kim might no longer update his blog, nudge identity products toward his vision or give inspiring, generous talks to audiences large and small, but his influence looms large in the identity industry – an industry Kim changed forever.

Reification. I learned that word from Kim. In the immediate next breath he said from the stage that he was told not everyone knew what reify meant and that he would use a more approachable word: “thingify.” And therein I learned another lesson from Kim about how to present to an audience.

He always made sure that everyone was welcome, he brought people in and inspired them and suggested ways for them to be stars. He was kind, in a way that few people ever are.

He spoke to us twice in 2016, first as the Keynote for our Annual Summit “Beyond the Laws of Identity” referring to his ground-breaking work and taking us through what he felt he missed when he published his Laws. Kim spoke later on the importance of the community when he received recognition as a Founder of Canada’s Digital Economy.

Kim joined us again in 2020, after he retired from Microsoft and gave a different sort of talk. His keynote at the IdentityNORTH Annual Summit was a sort of career retrospective

Kim attended nearly all the European Identity Conferences (EIC), from the very first one back in 2007, to 2019 and inspired us with his visionary, content-rich yet entertaining keynote talks and panel sessions. Have a look at his 2019 talk about privacy in the platform economy (“Turning the Web Right Side Up”, his visionary “Identity Services 2020” talk at EIC 2015, where he also reflected on 15 years

If there was ever a person one could describe as being “full of life,” it was Kim Cameron. It was impossible to be around him without laughing and learning—usually at the same time.

Kim Cameron isn't on a mission from God, but he once played guitar with some guys who were.

Kim Cameron Memorials

I once asked Kim why there were so many Canadians working in digital identity. He replied: “Every day as a Canadian, you think ‘What is it that makes me uniquely Canadian, as opposed to being American? Whereas Americans never give it a thought. Canadians are always thinking about identity.'”

Kim's technical excellence got him a seat at the table. His position at Microsoft gave him a big voice. But what made Kim effective was his gentle approach to technical discussions, especially those he thought might be contentious.

What I want to celebrate, however, isn’t just Kim’s thoughts and works, but his example: of how an open and generous person in a giant company can use its power for good, and not play the heavy doing it. That’s what Kim did for the two decades he was the top architect of Microsoft’s approach to digital identity and meta systems

  • In Praise of Kim Cameron OpenID Foundation 2021-12-04

    Not only did Kim “inject his 7 laws of identity into Microsoft’s DNA”, but did so throughout today’s growing global digital identity ecosystem.

    Kim was crafty. He not only injected his thinking into Microsoft; as a champion of the Identity Standards Community, Kim embedded his thinking into the standards that inform many of the identity systems operating at scale today.

Decentralized Identifiers Approved for W3C recommendation

Decentralized Identifiers W3C Objections overruled by W3C director approving the DIDCore specification as a W3C Recommendation In its next chartered period the Working Group should address and deliver proposed standard DID method(s) and demonstrate interoperable implementations.  The community and Member review of such proposed methods is the natural place to evaluate the questions raised by the objectors and other Member reviewers regarding decentralization, fitness for purpose, and sustainable resource utilization. -Ralph Swick, for Tim Berners-Lee https://www.w3.org/2022/06/DIDRecommendationDecision.html Post W3C Recommendation 2022-06-30 Decentralized Identifiers DIF Decentralized Identifiers (DID) 1.0 specification approved as W3C Recommendation Announcing the Decentralized Identifiers (DID) v1.0 specification as an open web standard signals that it is technically sound, mature, and ready for widespread adoption. Having an established v1.0 specification allows work to continue with renewed energy and focus, not only at the many groups meeting at DIF, but across the digital identity community. The W3C has approved the DIDCore V1.0 spec as an official Recommentdation; DIDs are now an open web standard ready for use and further development https://blog.identity.foundation/w3cdidspec-2/ Post W3C Recommendation 2022-06-30 Decentralized Identifiers TOIP A DIF & TOIP Joint Statement of Support for the Decentralized Identifiers (DIDS) V1.0 Specification Becoming A W3C Specification DIDs are a critical part of a technical foundation for the products and activities of many of our members. Many of the implementations in the DID Working Group’s implementation report were developed by engineers and companies who collaborate openly at DIF on points of technical interoperability, and at ToIP on points of policy and governance.

The W3C’s DID Specification is critical to building a better digital world. https://indicio.tech/indicios-support-for-the-w3c-did-specification-and-its-path-to-standardization/ Post W3C Recommendation 2022-07-01 Decentralized Identifiers The Register W3C overrules objections by Google, Mozilla to decentralized identifier spec The DID specification describes a way to deploy a globally unique identifier without a centralized authority (eg, Apple for Sign in with Apple as a verifying entity. https://www.theregister.com/2022/07/01/w3c_overrules_objections/ Post W3C Recommendation 2022-07-01 Decentralized Identifiers IOHK Advancing digital identity through DID core specification The recent DID core specification approval at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) provided clearer and stronger foundations for identity platforms building decentralized identifiers.

[...] I can speak to the work of the DHS SVIP Program and our approach and perspective across our two  work-streams that touch upon the two points.

1.  Governments “lobbying” for single DID method and Non-Interoperability
“tantek: concerned to hear that there are governments looking to adopt, with only single implementation methods and non interop, sounds like lobbying may have occurred, … advocating for single-implementation solutions that are centralized wolves in decentralized clothing”
