High Assurance Digital Identity in Healthcare
We know we need High Assurance Digital Identity. But we don’t know what this is, exactly. However, to realize the full potential of Internet of Things (IoT) investment we must approach the Identity of Things (IDoT) differently than what we are accustomed to for the identity of persons. We believe the true value of IoT…

Wasting your IoT Data?

IIW topics that excite us
We talked about this week’s Internet Identity Workshop (#32!) on one of our team calls. What sessions would make us jump out of our seat? Our short list. Rugged identity for IoT. Nearly all identity systems break with power outages, network interruptions, really long latency, really low bandwidth, and device tampering. HADI maturity models. How…

The Wider Team Blog
Digital identity is about trust. Everyone and everything trusts (and distrusts) everyone else. It’s what makes people and cyberspaces and bodies work together. We all try to do better, using great tools and practices. So let’s explore about how ubiquitous intelligence, pervading the worlds around and within us, build and share trust through identity and…

By 2030, Captcha for AI
Ask any sysadmin and they’ll tell you humans are the easiest way to penetrate a network. Been that way long before Kevin Mitnick. In 2020, deep fake tools and GPT-3 are convincing. How soon before they defeat prove-you’re-human tests? Then, how long before they convincingly replicate the behavior of trusted network devices? WiderPoV: Ten years…
