- alexhawket 15y agoStandardized identity as a service with a distributed client/server approach like email. Companies can offer their own service and customers sign up to their chosen provider. Users are supplied with controls to determine what components of their identity third parties can access. A "work" profile, a "friend profile" etc. Third parties integrate the standarized identity profiles but have no control over what specific data they can access.
