Digital Identity and Blockchain – Should They Work Together?
As we move towards greater use of online services, and these services increase in value, we find ourselves interacting online in ways that involve sharing sensitive data or making transactions that have the potential for significant consequences. These kinds of interactions, that previously required in-person engagement and the presentation of government-approved photo identification, need equivalent methods of engagement that provide the same level of assurance online. When we can’t present our real-world identity to the service provider, we must present our digital twin, along with proof we are, in fact, the same person.
