Episode 50 - Internet identity, privacy, and a blockchain - SecureKey

The term identity gets used a lot whenever internet payments and security are discussed. Knowing who we transact with is still the knotty problem. Strong authentication is required. Identity verification is required, too. A means of sharing the fruits of that work among the parties involved, especially those taking on risk, could save everyone a lot of cost and effort. That's the notion behind federated identity and other means of securely sharing identity attributes without undermining privacy. That tall order is the subject of this podcast with Andre Boysen, Chief Identity Officer of SecureKey. Join George and Andre as they talk about trust on the internet, SecureKey's approach, and the company's use of blockchain technology via a partnership with IBM.
