By 2021, it's estimated there will be more than 25 billion IoT devices with identity. There are over 180 million businesses globally – all of these are registered with governments and have identities in financial institutions. And there are 7.6 billion humans interacting with these corporations and IoT devices in complex ways.
This talk is based on research funded by the DHS Science and Technology to explore the impact of NPE (non-person entity) identity on areas of critical infrastructure. This talk will answer: What is an NPE? How is an NPE both different and similar to human identity? What is the relationship humans have with NPEs? How is NPE identity more complex than the identity we know today? What considerations do we need to make when developing identity solutions for the future? Attendees will leave the session with an understanding of NPEs, their relationship with humans, and new ways to think about future solutions.
