Jermoluk: Full sovereign identity. You should be in charge of your own identity. It is yours after all.
I have a new startup idea "My Identity" (or something like that), which would work like this:
- This needs a mobile app, which stores identity information.
- A website shows it's QR code for registration.
- Users scans the QR code with the mobile app, and checks which information is requested and Approves or Deny.
- When pressing Approve, the identity is sent to the website, which use it for registering the user.
- User should be able to fully control logins from the app, e.g. show a list on logged in websites, force logout.
- close04 6y ago> the identity is sent to the website So it's more or less glorified autofill? It should at most give the site a token. Imagine how signing in with Apple, Facebook, or Google works right now but instead of having your identity with those 3, you have it in that app (or somewhere) and it's all your own. Which means you have to replicate on the user side some of the functionality that they offer and package it in a "fit for a user" format. I mean in the end you're holding on to your whole online identity so extra caution is needed.
- jtvjan 6y agoAn app like that exists and it's called Civic Secure Identity. WikiHow allows you to sign up and log in with it.
