I was given the opportunity to interview two people deep in the decentralized digital identity world. Many people are not knowledgeable or concerned about what digital ID and ownership of personal data brings. Or, they may bring their set-in-stone pre-conceived notions and beliefs about digital ID being used for surveillance and/or enslavement. This eye-opening interview took many of the bits and pieces I knew about decentralized ID and reputations systems and put them together for me in a cohesive whole. We are entering into an inevitable digital world, it is up to us to protect our data and our sovereignty over that data. Humpty and Philip explain how Ontology and Bright ID are helping to shape this realm, and working to bring awareness to the importance of decentralized ID for just about everything in our near future.
