Blockchain Identity for the Enterprise

TYPE: Workshop DATE: May 15, 2018 TIME: 09:00-13:00

In this workshop, we will look at the current state of approaches using distributed ledger technologies such as blockchain to provide a solution to these requirements.

In moving beyond the initial use case of managing the enterprise/employee relationship, requirements and compliance needs for Identity Management infrastructures have been profoundly changing with extending their scope to managing identities of individuals, machines and things in any type of context along with the global digital transformation happening right now. Managing our lifes in whatever context today means, that we depend on reliable and resilient digital identities we have control of and which are securely and privately stored and transferred.

It would not make sense to let these requirements for self-sovereign identities be handled by an infrastructure governed by one single entity. In this workshop, we will look at the current state of approaches using distributed ledger technologies such as blockchain to provide a solution to these requirements.
