Internet 2.0, Web 2.0 and now Identity 2.0. As the online world moves towards Web 2.0, the concept of digital identity is evolving and existing identity systems with their confusing array of user experiences and no portability of digital identities are faltering.
Several identity solutions and government initiatives have emerged to tackle this problem. None have been able to address the interests of all the parties. As things stand, there is still no way to know who is really who online.
Enter the notion of “Identity 2.0”, an open, standards-based, yet fundamentally decentralized identity model. Identity 2.0 describes the concept of an ID that can be trusted and used anywhere and requires no centralized consultation with the ID authority that issues the credential. These new emerging systems center identity around the user instead of a directory.
Join Dick Hardt, a leading authority defining the future of Identity 2.0 at the next TechCoire meeting as he shares his insight on a revolutionary approach to digital identity that can be a platform for individuals, educational institutions, governments, and businesses to manage and seamlessly exchange identity data online.
