The Importance of Digital Identity in the Digital World
Digital identity plays a crucial role in the digital world, where almost every institution interacts with individuals through computers. Unlike the physical world, our online identities often merge different contexts, making it challenging to separate them. The goal is to have a decentralized system that allows individuals to use different identifiers for different contexts, providing more control over their digital presence. Open standards, such as verifiable credentials, are key to achieving this goal, as they allow individuals to selectively share information while maintaining privacy and autonomy.
