Speaker Scott Perry will walk through a multi-level technical and governance architecture (“the Trust Over IP Stack”) that outlines greater confidence over the source and content of internet communications. He will also walk through existing ecosystems where the exchange of verified digital credentials is transforming industries and societies.

The pandemic brought forth a rise in our dependence on digital life: from videoconferencing to shop-at-home applications, to social media. It has also transitioned the crime and espionage centers from physical cities to the Internet. Kim Cameron, Microsoft’s Chief Identity Architect (2004-2019) predicted this when stating in his landmark publication Law of Identity: "The Internet was built without a way to know who and what you are connecting to. This limits what we can do with it and exposes us to growing dangers”. The centralized control on identity with every merchant, organization and government an individual interacts with has frustrated the public with the requirement to remember hundreds of account/password combinations and the loss of control of sensitive personal data. This has been perpetuated in a societal shift of individuals (with governmental support) demanding more control of their personal information. Despite the warning signs, the Internet has thrived without an architectural construct to bind transactions to verifiable identities.

To revolutionize an established Internet itself, the architectural core of Internet transactions must evolve using new governance blueprints, trust anchors, and secure smartphones overlaying a foundation of decentralized identifiers. The building blocks of this new architecture has been developing over the last nine years and is ready to explode on a global scale.
