Abstract

Tired of passwords? Concerned about who has your most personal data and how it is managed?

Personal data is expensive and risky for organisations to store and regulations are only going to become more onerous. What if we could put the control of an identity back in the hands of a user - only asking for it when we need it? Could Self-sovereign identity solutions address many of these issues?

In this talk, we discuss current issues and pain points with identity, regulation and privacy. We discuss the what of self-sovereign identity, how it fits with existing use cases and how you can achieve self-sovereign in your systems.
