On Friday morning, after Identiverse’s traditional hard-partying the night before (which I did not attend), people gathered at half past 8 in the morning for the final day’s keynote session. It began with an introduction by Andi Hindle, followed by Don Thibeau’s presentation of the OpenID Foundation Kim Cameron Award (which I was unable to see because I was backstage), and finally our panel, which lasted about 30 minutes.
8:45 a.m.–9:15 a.m. Keynote
The panelists were:
- Drummond Reed Director of Trust Services • Avast
- Daniel Goldscheider Co-founder & CEO • Yes.com
- Sanjay Jain Chief Innovation Officer; Partner • CIIE Co.; Bharat Innovation Fund
- Nat Sakimura, Chairman • OpenID Foundation
The discussion was essentially about interoperability among trusted networks. The idea of leveraging existing networks appears to enjoy tremendous popularity in many jurisdictions.
We also touched on the need to consider not only “rich computing” use cases, in which everyone has a smartphone, but also situations where people have no access to smartphones and only intermittent access to connectivity and electricity.
I will update this article with more details once the Identiverse 2022 archive becomes available.
