About Episode
One of the desired outcomes of using standards-driven open source code projects is to avoid vendor lock-in. If your digital identity is a public good, then you shouldn’t be locked in to one specific company. If a company goes out of business, I may lose my identity data. If I find a better alternative, I’m unable to port my identity. Therefore, interoperability is a vital aspect of being able to provide sovereignty to individuals but also to governments.
Some of the key questions answered during this episode with Joachim are:
-
What are the different lenses of Interoperability outside of simply technological ones?
-
What is happening inside the EU’s digital identity governance frameworks?
-
How to go about preventing vendor/network lock-ins from the wallet perspective?
-
Does ID proofing impact the ability to achieve permissionless SSI models?
-
What is exciting about the intersection of SSI and web3, and are innovations in this area moving quicker than other areas?
-
Despite the misuse of NFTs for identity-related use cases, are they still helping advance decentralized identity thinking?
-
What learnings can SSI wallet providers gain from crypto wallet providers (e.g., security, key management, UX)?
-
Will intelligent agent providers need to make their algorithms open sourced?
-
Where do portable digital identities fit within the existent and ever changing digital identity landscape (e.g., e-sign, biometrics, IAM, etc.)?
And more!
