Thousands of Afghans struggling to ensure the physical safety of their families after the Taliban took control of the country have an additional worry: that biometric databases and their own digital history can be used to track and target them.

In a move that is likely to please privacy advocates across the country, the Biden Administration has announced that it has officially rescinded a policy proposed by the Trump Administration that would have considerably expanded the Department of Homeland Securitys (DHS) powers to collect biometric data from immigrants.

witnesses should weigh any risks of voice and facial recognition software, which has historically exhibited bias against women and people of color, versus the potential benefits. This hearing will also discuss the future of digital identity frameworks, interoperability requirements and standards, and how the emerging technologies such as AI and distributed ledger technology could contribute to building a secure and effective digital ID.

With input from public and private sector DIACC members and liaisons, the following guidance was created as a recommendation that the DIACCs Trust Framework Expert Committee (TFEC) agreed to consider. Specified business, legal, and technical process requirements will be identified and considered by the TFEC for inclusion in future versions of the PCTF.

what gives Aggregators their power is not their control of supply: they are not the only way to find websites, or to post your opinions online; rather, it is their control of demand. People are used to Google, or it is the default, so sites and advertisers dont want to spend their time and money on alternatives; people want other people to see what they have to say, so they dont want to risk writing a blog that no one reads, or spending time on a social network that because it lacks the network has no sense of social.

Web3 will make a difference for all of us if it enables people to become digitally embodied, able to recognize, remember, and react to other people and organizations online—without the need to be in someone else's database.

Metaverse

The SSI model has an individuals value — be it crypto, in-game items, or other NFTs — directly tied to their identity. It will be accessible with a simple click for physical services, like an Uber, as well as digital ones, like using a digital asset exchange.

Metaverse has been in the news for quite some time now. Seems like the next “buzzword” after “blockchain” in the tech space. The tech got a surge especially after Facebook decided to change its name to Meta. In this blog, we will understand what is Metaverse (a very basic intro) and its relationship with digital identities. The focus will be on explaining why decentralized digital identities are an important tool for Metaverse to replicate the real world.

SSI makes it easier to rely on traditional economic actuators (Brands) online and off-line to develop traffic and business on decentralized platforms and the Metaverse

The PopID platform will allow us to eliminate the dependence on cards and phones at our events and ensure that every guest interaction is secure, speedy, and seamless.

Amazon customers will first need to register their palm(s) using a scanner at the store. They will then be able to link a debit or a credit card to that palm print, which will in turn allow them to pay for their purchases with only a palm recognition scan the next time they pass through checkout.

Although poorly executed and architected, ID.Me and the IRS were on the right path: biometrics is a great way to verify identity and provides a way to deter fraud. But the second part, the part they missed, is that biometrics only fights fraud if it is deployed in a way that preserves user privacy and doesnt itself become a new data source to steal.
