Erik JonkerAfter having looked at eIDAS and the dutch implementation of digital identity, it is very interesting to read this paper, a proposal that tries to improve on various aspects from eiDAS.

Nikolai Hampton 💾Does anyone else think the Age verification stuff is just the start of mandated government digital ID? I mean “myGovID” changed to “myID” in an rebranding exercise last year. I feel that eventually we’ll start seeing the need to link your Australian government ID to all sorts of online services. Vendors like eBay sells some dodgy crap; kids could buy a pocket knife! Or, maybe VPNs? Kids might use them to circumvent stuff, so for safety “use your MyID to register your VPN and deanonymise your torrents, you know, for the kids!” <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#auspol</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/digitalidentity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#digitalidentity</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ageverification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ageverification</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#privacy</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#security</a>

Erik JonkerThe EU Digital Identity Wallet is a great way to make use less dependent on big tech platforms, protect our privacy and share data in a sensible and secure way. Ofcourse there are hurdles and risks. But i prefer a democratically controlled solution over one from Apple and Google where we have no influence on privacy, protection, ethics etc. <a href="https://youtu.be/smiM0GFRu_w?si=bj-rzcOkDrxDOSrv" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/smiM0GFRu_w?si=bj-rzcOkDrxDOSrv</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EDIW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EDIW</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EU</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DigitalIdentity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DigitalIdentity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Wallet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wallet</a>

Erik JonkerWith all the fake content and identities around, this is a very ineresting paper: "Personhood credentials: Artificial intelligence and the value of privacy-preserving tools to distinguish who is real online".

Nishant KaushikIdentiverse being the best identity conference around means that it’s always a challenge coming up with a talk proposal, as Andrew Hindle and team raise the bar each year.
