| Identity is basically a combination of certain Verified Claims about yourself, signed by some third parties. Given enough of these, you can uniquely identify one or a few people in a given population. These are all things that we should have a say in how they is used, instead of unilateral usage by third parties such as credit reporting agencies, social networks and banks. We need to fund tech that gives us the power over our own identity! Like telling friends who you are on some networks and not others, instead of Instagram and Telegram assuming all your FB friends or phone contacts should know. I like Mozilla’s fund too. I like NIST’s NSTIC grants. We need more! Identity is important for reputation and so on. But we have to unbundle the claim verification service from the certificate, we should make it so you can’t be tracked between domains. One Government ID or Facebook ID for everything may be one of the least libertarian and least secure ways to do it.
