What are the critical questions about user-centric identity and data you hope to discuss with peers at IIW?

• Leveraging our human intellect to assure our intention is achievable on the digital landscape.
• Nuanced, hierarchical, real world identity solutions
• Verifiable credentials, self-sovereign identity, FIDO credentials, fusion credentials
• Nuanced and hierarchical identity and key management
• Interoperability with decentralized identity systems, smart contract bridges to payment channels, and settling payments on payment channels connected to decentralized identities.
• Adoption of new types of secure in user friendly digital IDs
• Amenability of US healthcare to blockchain-enabled SSI
• How do we really apply the principle of least privilege to our applications
• Identity?
• How are we going to bridge the divide between corporate and personal identity. In theory, your corporate ID will be anchored to your personal ID as the means of verifying you during onboarding. But many schemes (like Android Workspaces) draw an inpenetrable barrier between the two. It seems that a new paradigm will be needed to make this work in a way that users will actuall want to use.
• How to turn the concepts into a SPAC experience that is seamless for all Parties
• How might we make the UX of user-centric identity so good your grandma could do it? What are the biggest risks and blockers that user-centric identity is facing?

• WHat are the identity centric apps that will give traction to self- sovereign approaches either short or long term?
• Standards convergence
• Privacy and cooperative solutions to identity challenges.
• What is the true purpose of digital "identity"? User-centric identity is a means to personal digital agency and freedom, which means that we must solve personal cybersecurity first. Automated decentralized key management is a critical enabler for mainstream people.

• Business cases, adoption
• Is it only about user-centric. What about enterprise-centric?
