ADISummit: Self-Sovereign Identity Panel


This panel discusses the aspiration of Self-Sovereign Identity within our current systems of identity management - in social networks, hospitals, banks, government databases, or (sadly) the next data dump. Is our identifying information essential to our daily lives, or is it collected based on an unquestioned security theatre that profiles and exploits the vulnerable? Can identity be automated, decentralized, secure, and global? Must we rely on third-party custodians to define who we are? Could we regain control of our selves?

Other Panelists:
Ana Badour - McCarthy Tetrault
Amber Scott - Outlier Solutions
Joseph Cutler - Perkins Coie

This is a panel discussion which took place at the Advanced Digital Innovation Summit (ADIS) on September 12-13th 2017 in Vancouver, Canada:
