ATB Financial operates as a financial institution in the province of Alberta, Canada. We have a long heritage of serving Albertans, and with our vision of being more than a bank, we see enabling access to a true self sovereign identity (SSI) as a transformative opportunity to impact their lives. In 2017 we took the first few steps in this journey, and through 2018 we’re moving closer to the reality of creating an ecosystem where Albertans and create and embraces their SSI through a wide variety of services and experiences.
Timo Hotti will talk about the combination of decentralized transaction management and self-sovereign identity management to produce truly decentralized digital services. As a concrete use case, he will discuss the prospect of creating and using digital corporate identities using the combination of a Corda transaction management network and a Sovrin identity management network. He will also discuss some viewpoints about how the “My Data” approach to data management may in the future be highly relevant not only to individuals but also to corporations.
