What are the critical questions about user-centric identity and data you hope to discuss with peers at IIW?

  • Right now, what are you doing to build the ethics and/or systems to raise respect for people above profit driven systems. Let's talk about a Technocratic Oath maybe!?
  • User Experience improvement and governance issues
  • Interoperability.
  • How to support and manage non custodial data ownership with social or other self recovery methods
  • How can we secure user identity in web2 and web3
  • Interop of identity wallet and credentials
  • Offline authorization with IoT and LoRa.
  • How can we ensure the rollout of SSI is user-centric and privacy-preserving, and that potential harms are considered and discussed? How much does the end-user need to know about the tech to ensure adoption? Who are the key partners in development and rollout?
  • Verifiable data that isn’t a credential
  • How to combine forces with the federated learning community and not reinvent the wheel in our own worlds (identity vs. machine learning)
  • integrating 'WET' & 'DRY' concepts through layered system thinking & predictive models to enable impactful cyber security/ edge space technology solution management. Engineering to long lasting descision making and real change with consideration of the human experience.
  • Are the UX challenges around SSI orthogonal to the ones faced by self-custody of private keys?
  • How much identity is too much identity
  • How to provide strong authentication in the digital world without sacrificing privacy? How to build an identity for a passive asset?
