Registered for the next #IIW in October -- the premier event for the movers and shakers in digital identity and self-sovereign identity. It is the 37th time!

How many events do you know who have a track record of 37? With more people coming these days than ever before? Wouldn't be surprised if it sold out again because the venue is full.

@reneestephen @pre @jerry you two should come to the #IIW.

I'm increasingly getting the feeling that one of these days I need to reactivate LID -- Light-Weight Digital Identity -- my entry into #identity and #iiw created more or less by accident in 2004. Then folded into the larger #OpenID movement. Some of its more interesting features were adopted by other identity protocols over time, but some others are still unique and would be very useful now that the decentralized, user-owned, social web is waking back up.

Learning about #WebAuthn at #iiw.

@judell The Computer History Museum facility is basically at capacity now, this is how big #iiw has grown,.

Ran a session on user-centric identity and the #fediverse at #iiw today. Lots of problems that could be solved more nicely than they are in the fediverse today. But lots of work, some technical, most community building.

Really grateful to everyone who showed up for my session at #IIW. Great discussion. Great minds. Gratitude to each of you.

I'm at #iiw - if you're here and want to meet, let me know randy@spritely.institute

At the #iiw opening circle, this is the 36th unconference on identity. Been a long time since the first back in Berkeley. The community is as strong as ever.

I just ordered passes for #IIW and #RSAC in April! I'm particularly interested in IIW, I've never been before but I heard a lot of good conversations happen there 😇

Anyone else going to either conference?

Considering a touch-based meta-android no-app platform for #Linux. Anyone interested in talking about it? #fossware

"The biggest mistake that I made was not understanding the asymmetric nature of the parties involved in identity" ~ Kim Cameron (#IIW Keynote in 2016)

Kim was a giant in the #digitalidentity ecosystem, not just for his technical brilliance but for his willingness to be open and collaborative in bringing disparate parties together. He is sorely missed!

Back in 2016, the organizers of IIW @Identitywoman, Doc Searls and Phil Windley asked Kim to give a keynote on the lessons learned from the "Laws of Identity" 10 years later https://www.identityblog.com/?p=1631

I was in that audience and there was a critical point that Kim made that remains highly relevant to the current conversation on #digitalwallets and #VerifiableCredentials.

There was no video or audio recording of the keynote, so I had to go back into the live-tweets from back in the day and piece that point together (see image)

The current discussions in the #VC/#DID ecosystem continues to ignore this point on asymmetric power relationships when it comes to the nature of who has the agency and decision authority regarding what #digitalwallet will be used and how that is choice is surfaced to them.

I absolutely believe that the choice should be in the hands of the individual and not be left in the hands of the Issuer (identity provider) or Verifier (Relying Party) via the use of the 21st century version of the NASCAR page, which is QR Codes on the Issuer or Verifier site -- for all the reasons noted by Kim in his keynote!

Which is why the conversation regarding the Credential Handler API (#CHAPI) and the #FedCM today at the @w3c is so important!

Plotting about personal data, identity, ending surveillance capitalism and the like. This week at #iiw Internet Identity Workshop with @doc Chris Heuer and Michael Grossman.

I think I might win the “who helped the community by taking the most notes at the Internet Identity Workshop” this week. So far, I’ve taken notes for “Digitized vs Digital Credentials”, “FedCM 101”, “IdP Discovery and the edu Use Case”, “Privacy-Enhancing Mobile Credentials”, and “OIDC Session Management”. If you’re interested, notes will be available here after the conference is done: https://internetidentityworkshop.com/past-workshops/. #IIW #digitalidentity #credentials

Session Wall for day 1 #iiw

First day of #iiw got off to a great start. Lots of people. Lots of great sessions.

#IIW live on Mastodon! #identity

@windley Does #iiw have a #mastodon presence?

Huge turnout for Internet Identity Workshop 35! #IIW #IIW35

The 35th #iiw unconference is about to start. Not many conferences run as long as this ... and it supposedly has the most attendees ever!
