This panel discusses the aspiration of Self-Sovereign Identity within our current systems of identity management - in social networks, hospitals, banks, government databases, or (sadly) the next data dump. Is our identifying information essential to our daily lives, or is it collected based on an unquestioned security theatre that profiles and exploits the vulnerable? Can identity be automated, decentralized, secure, and global? Must we rely on third-party custodians to define who we are? Could we regain control of our selves?

Keywords/phrases: Decentralization as the final goal: will the transition be through radical change or a gradual transformation? Disruptive innovation never works in a gradual fashion, rather punctuated equilibrium. We see this in science, technology, politics, and society. Systems build up energy until it reaches a tipping-point event. Mainstream adoption won't be done because of a whim but because of a desperate need to escape failing systems. We don't need the acceptance or permission of the old traditional systems; people will opt-in when they are ready because these technologies are useful. "Innovation from within" with large organizations doesn't happen; most get disrupted from the outside and few survive in their original form. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4COw6K-qrK8
