An Identity Metasystem

Combined Session
Thursday, May 16, 2019 11:00—12:00
Location: CHIEMSEE

In 2005, Kim Cameron proposed something called an identity metasystem that would serve as the infrastructure for the many context-specific identity systems we have. Such an identity metasystem would not only allow these various identity systems to interoperate but would, importantly, unify the user experience to ensure people were an integral part of the identity exchange and understood what was happening. Now, in 2019 we are on the verge of finally realizing this dream. This talk will talk about the properties of an identity metasystem and how it will support digital identity that is privacy preserving, secure, and most importantly respectful of human dignity.
