The Discussion: Digital Identity - State of the Nations #15

In this episode of The Discussion I’m joined by digital identity thought leader Dave Birch and Senior Principal at Liminal, and host of the State of Identity podcast, Cameron D’Ambrosi to discuss the digital identity landscape. We cover the push towards integrated identity platforms, the vision for reusable identity and the differences between centralized and decentralized systems and how those often reflect national culture. What is the state of Digital ID in the UK? Will the wallets offered by Big Tech win out in the USA? And how might eIDAS or the EUDI approach evolve across the EU? Also to what extent do the public really understand (and trust) these identity systems which look like they are about to become part of our everyday lives?Liminal website 2023 Digital Identity Landscape from LiminalThe State of Identity podcast Cameron D’Ambrosi on Twitter @dambrosi Dave Birch’s website https://15mb.ltd/Dave’s Substack https://dgwbirch.substack.com/Dave’s books The Currency Cold War and Identity Is The New MoneyRead him on Forbes Dave Birch on Twitter @dgwbirchA New National Purpose : Innovation Can Power The Future of Britain 3min: An overview of the digital identity landscape with Cameron D'Ambrosi7min 50: The use of reusable identity13min: Differences and similarities between centralized and decentralized systems14min 30: State of digital identity in Europe17min 40: State of digital identity in America24min: Dave Birch discusses social media verification29min 40: State of digital identity in the UK32 min: Dave Birch gives an overview of the state of digital identity in the UK50min: Cameron D'Ambrosi's thoughts on the state of digital identity in the UK
