The way organizations handle digital identity is rapidly evolving and nowhere is this more visible than in Brazil’s booming Open Finance and Open Insurance ecosystems. To explore how verified financial data can be transformed into reusable digital identity credentials, Dock Labs recently hosted a live podcast: How to Turn Open Finance Data into Digital ID Credentials and Connect IAM Silos.The session was led by Nick Lambert, CEO of Dock Labs, and featured industry leaders shaping the future of identity in Latin America:- André Facciolli, CEO of Netbr, a consultancy specializing in end-to-end identity management solutions that works with Brazil’s top 10 banks.- Alan Kim Mareines, CEO of Lina, a technology provider delivering Open Finance and Open Insurance infrastructure across Brazil.- Rodrigo Azevedo, Developer at Netbr, who built and presented the live proof-of-concept demo showing how Open Finance data can be issued as verifiable credentials and used across real-world scenarios like hotel check-ins or age verification at a pub.Together, the panel explored the challenges large enterprises face with siloed IAM systems, the benefits of combining Open Finance with verifiable credentials, and the broader implications for user privacy, security, and business innovation.(05:52) – Live demo of turning Open Finance data into digital credentials(13:57) – Proof of concept completed in just two weeks(15:02) – What were the biggest takeaways from building the PoC?(21:10) – What are the top IAM pain points for large enterprises?(25:05) – Where does Open Finance data come from and how reliable is it?(29:22) – What other use cases excite you?(33:09) – What advantages do organizations gain with trusted credentials?(36:55) – What are the simplest high-impact use cases to start with?(40:31) – Where will organizations see ROI from credentials?(44:03) – What new use cases emerge from Open Insurance data?(47:30) – Who holds liability when data is shared via credentials?(52:02) – Is Open Banking data cryptographically verifiable?(53:12) – Could credentials evolve into user-owned data stores?(55:24) – How do credentials align with Brazil’s data privacy law (LGPD)?📚 EXPLORE:Dock Labs - https://www.dock.io/Netbr - https://www.netbr.com.brLina - https://linaopenx.com.br👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 FOLLOW:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/docknetwork/

Mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs) and mobile identity documents (mDocs) are rapidly moving from pilot projects to mainstream adoption. With more than five million mDLs already in circulation and half of U.S. states announcing plans to issue them, the identity community is asking an important question: what do these standards really mean for privacy, interoperability, and real-world implementation?To explore these issues, we hosted a live podcast featuring two leading experts. Andrew Hughes, VP of Global Standards at FaceTec, has spent more than a decade shaping international ISO standards for digital identity, credentials, and biometrics. Ryan Williams, Program Manager of Digital Credentialing at the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA), leads the subcommittee responsible for translating ISO standards into North American implementation guidelines.Moderated by Richard Esplin, Head of Product at Dock Labs, the conversation offered a rare opportunity to connect the dots between how the ISO standards are written, how they are being interpreted in practice, and what identity practitioners need to know as mDLs roll out worldwide.(0:00) – Welcome & Introductions(2:20) – What is AAMVA?(4:10) – Quick Primer on ISO 18013(5:10) – Privacy Concerns & “No Phone Home”(7:28) – Device Retrieval vs. Server Retrieval(10:20) – Why Server Retrieval Was Added(15:35) – AAMVA’s Role in Real-World Implementation(17:14) – Why Server Retrieval Is Controversial(23:20) – Certification and Conformance Challenges(26:32) – User Consent and UI Limitations(29:22) – AAMVA Guidance on Consent & Data Sharing(32:38) – Should Server Retrieval Be Controversial?(35:26) – ISO’s Plan to Remove Server Retrieval (2026)(43:08) – Issuer Keys and the Digital Trust Service (DTS)(49:09) – Derived Credentials vs. mDLs(51:18) – What’s Coming in ISO 18013 Edition 2(57:57) – How AAMVA Aligns with ISO Updates(59:22) – State of Browser & Standards Implementation(1:02:24) – Can Wallets Prevent Server Retrieval?(1:04:33) – Accessing DTS via API or SFTP(1:06:24) – Closing Thoughts & Key Advice📚 EXPLORE:Website - https://www.dock.io/👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 FOLLOW:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/docknetwork/

AI agents are getting smarter and soon they’ll be booking flights, submitting forms, and signing contracts on our behalf. But how can a payment provider, merchant, or financial institution verify that an AI agent is truly acting on behalf of a legitimate user? And how can they know what the agent is actually authorized to do?Vouched is introducing a new identity layer for AI agents: MCPI, the identity extensions to Anthropic’s MCP protocol. In this session, CEO Peter Horadan will walk us through how "Know Your Agent" works and what it means for the future of identity, delegation, and trust.(00:00) – Intro(03:35) – Why AI agents are exciting but risky(06:25) – The security problem with giving agents your credentials(10:33) – What’s missing from MCP: Identity and delegation(12:00) – Five problems we must solve for agent identity(16:30) – How MCP-I works: Agent shows up, user grants permissions(19:31) – Demo(30:12) – Why developers haven’t focused on identity for agents(31:04) – Real-world privacy risks with current agent behavior(32:36) – Can existing IAM systems adapt to agent delegation?(33:45) – Role of reusable credentials and digital IDs(40:03) – Do higher-assurance use cases need added safeguards?(41:41) – Stopping agents from rotating DIDs to avoid detection(43:59) – Peter’s advice to enterprise CTOs(46:24) – Audience Q&A(56:00) – AI agents will force every business to rethink workflows📚 EXPLORE:Dock Labs - https://www.dock.io/Vouched - https://vouched.id👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 FOLLOW:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/docknetwork/
