What if there were a better way to prove your identity online, one that gives you greater control over the information you share in a secure way, without sacrificing access or participation?
Join us on Thursday, April 16 for the Digital Identity Symposium: Towards User-Owned Identity, featuring the public launch of the KeyRing wallet, an open source application that demonstrates how technology can enable individuals to take control of their digital identity in a secure and portable way. This half-day symposium will include discussions on the motivations behind this work, a live demo of KeyRing, and conversations about the future of user-owned identity systems.
This is an in-person event at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society for Harvard ID holders. Registration and an active Harvard ID are required.
