The Identity R/Evolution

The identity r/evolution is ongoing. For a while it seemed that not much has changed since Kim Cameron spearheaded the discussion about “The Laws of identity”. New technologies like Privacy-ABC based on ZKP were ready to provide the user with control over how much personal data he wants to disclose, while promising, commercial solutions were neither accepted by the market nor solving the problem of reliability of transactions exhaustively. Today, the new decentralized digital identity model of Self-Sovereign Identity, utilizing verifiable credentials and Decentralized Identifiers, is giving new hope of finding sustainable solutions. This session will map out the main questions around privacy within this context:

• What are the privacy pros and cons of a blockchain-based identity management system based on an “European Digital Identity Wallet”?
• What are key pain points of the emerging "European Autonomous Identity Framework" (ESSIF) compatibility with GDPR? Is there “enough privacy” in eIDAS 2.0?
• How can one trust that the entity issuing the credentials is in fact the entity that it claims to be?
