Today we held a webinar on #digitalidentity for an audience from ASEAN countries. Our CEO @ovaartnou introduced how R&D is part of much of what we do & in addition to speakers from our digital ID team, we announced our new representative in the region, based out of Singapore

@shehackspurple #Thresholdcryptography sounds like it could be part of the solution.

A secret generated in multiple shares, say 5, with a threshold of 3 (could be up to 5) needing to be used together to authenticate.

Each key-share owned by a separate person.

@Johan_Nym I don't know what it will take, but millions stolen apparently isn't enough either.

German banks in 2016 had several of their customers' account emptied with a SIM swapping hit.

[Max van de Poll @MaxCvdP]

@Johan_Nym I see logic in this wisdom.

Voting is different to almost all other services we use - it's almost impossible to rectify a result if fraud is identified.

Trusted eID used regularly in valuable services is a step towards a government and population trusting it for voting.

Looking forward to sharing a bit more next week about @IdemiaGroup's and @cybernetica's new partnership and the offerings it enables.

@tahpot Makes a lot of sense, @tahpot.

I have been trying to understand this for a while.

But, if the issuer has a certificate for their domain name from a CA, would a simple option for them not be to use eseals to sign attributes, also issued by CA?

Then we can use the OCSP, right?

[Max van de Poll @MaxCvdP]

More and more, when I see new technologies and services, I find myself asking, "what exactly is the problem that's being solved here?".

As I conclude this short blog series, I ask this question in regard to #blockchain's use in #digitalidentity.

[Cybernetica @cybernetica]

Our Product Manager @MaxCvdP concludes that newer identity models look towards #blockchain as a trust anchor. Trust is crucial when it comes to national #digitalidentity, and this is where blockchain has the most to prove. 👇

@tahpot I think you're right that they don't need to be competitors. I think it's just there is overlap and redundancy if they are part of the same offering if a TSP is also playing a part.

In your example, what identity is related to the public key you publish?

[Max van de Poll @MaxCvdP]

@FrankMcG Certainly fit in this box. Thanks!

@charliehrysmith I think the room might've gotten cold during the night, and maybe I didn't have the printing temperature high enough (had it at 200), and so maybe, the filament just stopped sticking.

That seem reasonable? Solution 220?

[Max van de Poll @MaxCvdP]

Any ideas what happened here? At some point, the filament just stopped sticking together.

#blockchain can play a part in maintaining #trust, but we mustn't think it can create it.

When it comes to new #DigitalIdentity models like #SSI and #DPKI, blockchain can be of value, but will it lead us down a rabbit hole?

[Cybernetica @cybernetica]

Where does #blockchain fit in newer #digitalidentity models like #selfsovereignidentity? Our Product Manager @MaxCvdP discusses if blockchain can be a key player in maintaining trust in digital identity services which rely heavily on trust.

[Max van de Poll @MaxCvdP]

So often I see #blockchain being the square peg smashed through a round hole. Groups are now looking to #DigitalIdentity as a potential application for blockchain, and so I wanted to dig down a bit and see will we need a hammer this time too?

#SSI #DPKI

[Cybernetica @cybernetica]

Should #digitalidentity and #blockchain work together? �� Our Product Manager @MaxCvdP takes a look at digital ID, linked to real-world attributes such as taxes, income, insurance, and banking, and see what problems blockchain might solve.

We'll be working with Palestinian Ministry of Telecom & IT to upgrade current data exchange layer to the latest #UXP. Palestine was one of the 1st regions outside of 🇪🇪 to implement #Xroad & we've been one of the partners since the beginning.

[Max van de Poll @MaxCvdP]

@mr_coinvestor @cybernetica @havasmediaeesti @argovals The X-Road or the productised version, the Unified Exchange Platform, is decentralised, and does not rely on blockchain.
