Panel: Myth Busting with ID Crowd and Friends

Combined Session
Thursday, May 16, 2019 17:00—18:00
Location: AMMERSEE I

Synopsis: Since the days of our early ancestors, new frontiers have always been associated with myths, be them dragons, demons or wizards. The world of digital identity is no different, our twitter timelines are full jargon, acronyms and confusing terminology. Much of this is helpful but once in a while a misinformed opinion can take root and spread around the world before the facts have had a chance to get their boots on.

This panel will debunk some common myths and misunderstandings. The panel will explore these misconceptions with reference to actual scenarios taken from their experiences delivering digital identity in the real world.

Delivery: A panel discussion hosted by an ID Crowd member - each panellist presents 5-10 minutes on a particular myth. The myths would be grouped into broad areas: Terminology, technologies, standards, schemes and regulations and service design - each panellist will chose a myth from one particular area to ensure a broad spectrum is covered, examples might include:

“Validation and Verification are the same thing”
“Standards based digital identity is too difficult to implement”
“Identity and Eligibility checks are the same thing for service designers”

Each myth is explored and debunked by a panellist in their own individual 10 minute presentation; each panellist could also use their presentation to link their own service or product to the subject matter. Each time this is presented new myths are busted, therefore keeping the concept fresh for a global audience

There is also an opportunity for a short roundup group discussion around the need for digital identity education and awareness
