Session: The impact of decentralized identity solutions in the marketplace, insights and lessons
Long theorized as the solution to the verification problem on the internet, decentralized identity has now achieved lift-off in the marketplace. In this workshop, we’ll explain who’s interested, why, and what we learned building a series of solutions for global enterprises in the finance, health, and travel sectors. We’ll explain how Cardea, an open source project at Linux Foundation Public Health, is providing a complete, ready to deploy, secure Trusted Data Ecosystem that can connect a person to multiple businesses and jurisdictions without sharing private health information. In this conversation, representatives from leading Cardea contributors, Indicio and Schatzkin Systems will share more about Cardea and describe the critical importance of verifiable digital identity is not just for decentralized healthcare but we’ll also touch on finance, the metaverse, and to the interaction of digital objects and non-digital objects in the spatial web—the “Internet of Everything.”Key Takeaways
- Cardea is an open source project at Linux Foundation Public Health and the world’s only complete, decentralized, easy-to-integrate, open-source ecosystem for verifying health data that preserves patient and traveler privacy
- Data you can’t trust is a costly risk
- The underlying technology for Cardea was open-sourced and donated to Linux Foundation Public Health by Indicio and SITA so that anyone can use it to share health data in a privacy-preserving way
- The open source projects of Hyperledger Aries and Hyperledger Indy provide the underpinning for Cardea.
- The future of online communication is decentralized, interoperable, and available today in the open source community.
