Work in decentralized digital trust. Co-authored “Self-Sovereign Identity” (Manning, 2021). Building the trust layer for the Internet. Film buff. Writer.
Finally meeting MIT professor Ramesh Raskar in person at the #NANDA “Internet of AI Agents” event in SF. This is a very exciting vision for AI agents that fits perfectly with the #FirstPersonProject. We need to start now if we are going to harness #AIagents to work for people and not vice versa.

At the Global Digital Collaboration event in Geneva, the first session is on the #EUDI #digitalwallet initiative. Without question, this is the project that has brought open standard digital wallets into the mainstream. Congrats to the EU for their leadership on this #digitaltrust infrastructure.

At the start of the first Global Digital Collaboration conference in Geneva. It’s the largest event in the #decentralized #digital #identity and #trust infrastructure space. Many exciting possibilities for the #FirstPersonProject to explore in the next two days.

#Decentralized #identifier (DID) expert Markus Sabadello holds an Internet #Identity Workshop session on DID SCID - a new DID method for all types of self-certifying identifiers. This is what #cryptography needs to break fully into the mainstream.

The woman’s wisdom end of the #DIF dinner hosted by @kimdhamilton.bsky.social the night before #IIW 40 (yes, the 20th anniversary of the twice-yearly event). Super excited about tomorrow.

There are no words for this. Sanctioning political violence against your own democracy is a moral outrage. What does this say to the Capital police officers that lost their lives or their livelihoods on #January6? What does this say about us to the world? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

The opening circle of the 39th #InternetIdentityWorkshop at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. At twice a year, it means we’re going on 20 years. But this one is the largest ever. I think we’re finally in sight of the tipping point in #digitaltrust.

One of the anchor panels on the second day of the #BhutanInnovationForum is led by DHI CTO Jacques von Benecke and features Secretary Jigme Tenzing, both of whom were instrumental in the groundbreaking #SSI based Bhutan #NationalDigitalIdentity infrastructure.

Taxiing in the Delhi airport on my flight to the #BhutanInnovationForum, I spotted this slogan written on a portable plane stairway outside an #IndiGo flight: “Escaping patriarchy at 30,000 feet”. WOW! Go girl!!!

After 8 mos working with the Government of Bhutan in 2022 to help draft their National Digital Identity Act based on #SSI ( #self-sovereign-identity ), I finally have the chance to visit in person Oct 1-3 at the Bhutan Innovation Forum. A dream trip! www.bhutan-innovation-forum.org/gVaxoo?refid...
