Well What Then?

Please Don’t “Authenticate” Twitter Users
2

Claire Talpey

It is possible to authenticate and remain anonymous.

It is possible to authenticate and remain anonymous. There are authentic data techniques I write about that allow for users to prove they have been KYC'd and are human but Twitter never learns anything about them.

Why identity cannot be an input to vaccine passport checks or any other real-world digital authorizations — In computer systems it is common to construct digital gates around a service. The most common example is a username and password login gate that does a combination of authentication (i.e. verifying who is accessing the service) and authorization (i.e. what functions of the service can be executed). This approach…

Don’t Use DIDs

Political Solutions Never Solve Technological Problems — The W3C has been hard at work for the last four years in endless political fights over the design of the standard for decentralized identity documents and their identifiers. The end result is a design-by-committee solution that is malformed, didactic and fights adoption. It fails to meet basic requirements for…

A Unified Theory of Decentralization

All networks begin as only one thing; one neuron, one cell, one chip, one computer, or one user. One entity alone is not a network, but it is the starting point for understanding the unified theory of decentralization. One entity is fully sovereign, it has no connections to anything else…
