My Presentation at Who Is Real Online?
On May 4, 2026, a speaker presented at Georgetown University’s “Who is Real Online? Personhood, Privacy, and Trust Infrastructure in the Age of AI.” The talk, titled “Decentralized Trust: Three Generations of Digital Identity Protocols,” traced the evolution from centralized identifiers to federated single sign‑on and finally to decentralized self‑sovereign identity. It introduced the emerging Digital Trust Graph as a framework for linking credentials without a central authority. A readable version of the slide deck has been published for public reference.
