A World without Identity and Access Management systems is unimaginable in our time. Just as in corporate environments, customer environments are highly depended on identity providers like Google or Facebook. But topics like access management are especially important in corporate environments. The main concept though is still trust. People have to trust that a main server for an IAM system is highly available, they have to trust their IT admins to not mess around with their data, and they have to trust the central database to be secured and not be accessed by anyone who is not entitled to do so.
In this day and age, we try to use a new technology to help us with all problems centered around trust: THE BLOCKCHAIN!
But is the blockchain the answer to IAM problems?
Does it help us to comply with GDPR and other privacy standards or does it make those topics even more complicated?
And how exactly could the blockchain, an invention for financial transactions even handle Identity and Access Management?
All those and more questions will be discussed in our presentation. We will show revolutionary ways to use the blockchain for IAM and even tell the story of a developer team from the future that uses a blockchain based IAM to on and off board developers to guarantee security within the team and the project!
