I'm working to aggregate some common questions about #passkeys, both from non-technical and technical perspectives. These will be used in an end user facing site in the future. Any and all feedback is welcome. forms.gle/wmaydkzmUp2e... (also would appreciate some reposts to widen the audience)

In this video from EIC 2025 I explain why EUDI's use of traditional PKI instead of W3C DIDs results in an architecture that is less flexible and open. I'm excited about #EUDI and I hope that future iterations will leverage technologies that go further to empower citizens in the use of digital data.

This video by @mkbhd.com is peak. I'm now convinced that buying one will improve my focus.

This blog post explains how verifiable credentials improve the flexibility of an #IAM architecture while also embracing zero trust principles. User identity wallets allow identity architectures to incrementally evolve and reduce dependence on fragile centralized systems. #digitalidentity

@techaltar.bsky.social A question for Friday Checkout: Google plans to require developer registration for side-loaded Android apps, effectively disabling open source stores like fDroid. How does closing Android impact the mobile market? Is iOS thereby more competitive? Will regulators push back?

Today's update to #fdroid added an announcement about Google closing the #Android ecosystem. Such a short sighted move would erase Android's big benefit over iOS. I hope that the #opensource developer community can help Google find a way to be simultaneously secure and open.

I hope that #IAM professionals benefit from this presentation on how to introduce a #digitalidentity wallet into your architecture without ripping out what already works. It includes a breakdown of specific wallet patterns, implementation tips, and a conversation about necessary trade-offs.

As someone who has followed free #climbing since the 90s, I'm really impressed with this nuanced analysis by Hannah Morris Bouldering. I'll be watching more of her channel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbJE...

@techaltar.bsky.social 's Friday Checkout is great. This week's episode on @nebula.tv closes by speculating that one day large manufacturers may preinstall #Linux. Dell sells desktops and laptops with Linux preinstalled. I've been happy with them for over 10 years. www.dell.com/support/kbdo...

This series on the history of Lebanon is a masterfully crafted recounting of a complicated story. It makes clear that no single group is responsible for the suffering in the region. It makes me reflect on human nature. I highly recommend you watch it, starting with this prelude. #HistoryMatters

Spent the last two days playing with #linux toys. I upgraded to Pop!_OS 24.02 and adopted the Cosmic Desktop as my daily driver. I was nervous it wouldn't be ready for prime-time, but it's generally been a smooth update. I'll share some thoughts in the thread. Thank you @system76.bsky.social !

Mirko Mollik from @sprind-de.bsky.social answered an hour's worth of questions about #Germany 's work on digital identity. He covers the current state of #EUDI and what is needed to be ready for the 2026 deadline to offer a #DigitalIdentity wallet to all citizens. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9mn...

These are fun exercises in #AI prompt #security: gandalf.lakera.ai/baseline gandalf.lakera.ai/agent-breaker

I'm once again dealing with awful #NVIDIA drivers on #Linux and wondering why I didn't save myself pain by buying #AMD. An excellent breakdown of the current state of affairs: www.linuxnest.com/amd-vs-nvidi...

Not all #digitalID is dystopian. Next week my team will host a free "Intro to Decentralized ID" workshop where we will explain how #digitalidentity can be user-centric and privacy-preserving. We'll cover the basics and provide time to answer questions. Register here: www.dock.io/introduction...

Here is a recent discussion the mDL standard (ISO 18013) and #onlineprivacy. Andrew Hughes and Ryan Williams shared insights from developing and implementing the standard. We discussed the concerns from the #NoPhoneHome statement and how privacy will improve in the future versions. #digitalidentity

I appreciated this thorough but digestible breakdown of the recent #Utah legislation restricting children's use of digital devices and apps in app stores. I still have concerns, but I'm better informed because of @familytech.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbC_... #onlinesafety #kids

Trump's CFBP will reconsider Rule 1033 on Open Banking “with a view to substantially revis[e] it and provid[e] a robust justification.” Another loss for the average American against big business. #openfinance #opendata

An excellent guide to #t-mobile 's changes to their #privacy policy: ozamora.com/2025/07/t-mo... tl;dr: #tmobile is not one of the good guys

I am excited that next week I will be attending Netbr Overflow in São Paulo, Brazil. I'm going to learn the latest #identity best practices from some of #LATAM 's technology leaders. www.netbr.com.br/overflow-sao... Let me know if you are in the area and would like to meet up! #IAM #Brasil

I'm in Berlin and excited for the start of #EIC2025. Today I'm practicing my talk for Wednesday on #VerifiableCredentials and #Biometrics. I hope to see you there! Anyone willing to join me for a morning run?

I can't claim any special expertise, but for 20+ years I've laughed about this article from @theonion.com : theonion.com/congress-thr... The punchline is here: www.latimes.com/archives/la-... And the story continues: www.chicagotribune.com/2002/06/13/c...

An interesting discussion about #Amazon 's plans for adopting mDLs in 2025. I found his point about VC's enabling self-serve account recovery to be very interesting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYFe... #digitalidentity

The latest video by @cogitoyt.bsky.social taught me a lot about the exploitation of Puerto Rico by the United States. It's so much worse than I expected. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sPR...

On top of all the other damage these antics do to our democracy, it's maddening to see DOGE training people to respond to phishing emails.

My talk is accepted at the Kuppinger Cole European Identity and Cloud Conference (EIC 2025). www.kuppingercole.com/sessions/584... Let me know if you'll be in Berlin in May. I would love to meet up and discuss #DigitalIdentity and #Biometrics.

Another problem with #GoogleChrome during meetings with #GoogleMeet: sharing my screen will sometimes throw a generic error. Trying again doesn't help, I have to close the window and rejoin the meeting. I haven't yet detected a pattern. Anyone else seeing this on #Linux ? #TechHelp

Is anyone else seeing lots of zombie #chrome processes on #Ubuntu #Linux? The number of processes seems correlated to the number of meetings I've held with #Google Meet since my last reboot. Any tips?

Ridgetop Research hires me for a consulting gig. Their fine print says they partner with Dots.dev for payments. "Please note there is a 3% processing fee that is applied to each payment." What‽ You are charging me to receive the money you owe me‽ #DoNotRecommend

The most relatable character in the #StarWars universe is middle-aged Ben Kenobi: jaded, cynical, disillusioned, out-of-shape, afraid, and disappointed in his student. I assure my kids that they will one day appreciate his courage to leave the cave and do his duty when sufficiently cajoled.

This argument in favor of #tariffs was more informative than I expected: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LJi... Lots to think about.

In #151 of Darknet Diaries, @jackrhysider.bsky.social asks whether content warnings are useful. When I listen to the podcast in the same room as my kids, they often enjoy the stories. Your warnings help me know when to screen an episode before sharing. Please continue. Thank you for a great podcast!

Every member of a #tech team can benefit from @blackgirlbytes.bsky.social 's sagacious advice for #career growth.

That was an insightful talk about #opensource strategy and how to build a defensible business. It has lots of instructive examples. Thanks for sharing!

We posted a short video explaining our new cloud storage for our #digitalidentity wallet. In 2025, we are going to use this cloud wallet as the foundation for making identity easier for people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=59YJ...

This story is a great example of how to have influence in a collaborative industry. #opensource

I think we are getting better at explaining how verifiable credentials solve current #digitalidentity problems, as shown in minute 5 to 15 of this presentation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXhX...

Considering that buying plane tickets to the UK might be easier than waiting two months to see #Paddington in Peru.

But projects on #Telgram baffle me. Aside from the annoying interface, the system is designed for scams and spam. Maybe that's why so many #cryptocurrency projects are there.

It pains my #opensource heart that #discord seems to be winning for project communication. But at least it's functional, and the boost business model is an innovative way to do crowd funding.

I added @ultraquamfy.bsky.social to my list of Digital Identity Builders. I'm looking forward to having updates on #cheqd in my feed. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Lot's to think about here, and in the original blog from 2017: www.vox.com/the-big-idea...

May God have mercy on us and save our democracy from the consequences of our decisions.

I added the 2024Q4 plan to Dock Lab's public roadmap page. (And we are only 1/3 through the quarter!) It's nice to check so many "item completed" boxes. Our documentation is getting pretty good—we have a link for every recently completed item. www.dock.io/roadmap #digitalidentity

Dusk looking down Little Cottonwood Canyon from Red Pine Trail while #hiking in #utah #outdoors

I need a mental break in the #outdoors: First snows on the slope above Red Pine Lake in Little Cottonwood Canyon. #utah

I'm sad to see Sovrin sputter, but I'm hopeful that cheqd will make it easy for projects that previously used Sovrin to move forward building on firmer #digitalidentity foundations. cheqd.io/blog/sovrin-...

I'm taking a mental break to reflect on the view last Saturday from the summit of Box Elder Peak in #Utah looking North towards Little Cottonwood Canyon. #outdoors

I enjoyed being part of TBD's conversation about #digitalidentity on Twitch. Thank you for inviting me @blackgirlbytes.bsky.social ! www.twitch.tv/videos/22732... (also on YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-n8... )

This short essay was insightful on many levels. It was definitely worth the read.
