Our Own Decentralized Identity Network

• websites
• big video

Another one of these?

• Own our own keys
• Facebook likes, Airbnb ratings, LinkedIn connections.. all of these are owned and live at those services and can only be trusted only when served by them.
• (not mine, not ONE-OF-US.NET's, not nerdster.org's)

• Not accounts on services
• Support open auditing of a full cryptographic signature chain starting from you (or even someone else).
• Bonus: no fake accounts, no bots

• Let tech play nice togeter, get us on the same page.
• Break the algorithm monopoly of our metadata silos.

• No hierarchy, no power center.

Why?

• Same people across services (NYT comments, Airbnb hosts, people you know!)
• Could authenticity change your mind?
• Change how we hehave?
• Our human network already exists. Reputations and identities exist IRL (opt-in)

A different paradigm

• We build our own identity network in our own
• Instead of having services give us accounts to act the identity they manage for us, we give them accounts that represent our own identities.

ONE-OF-US.NET and the Nerdster are not connected

• Different domains
• No special access to each other's data

Demo browsing

• Show how people got here
• Show who has what keys, who vouched for whom

Demo some Nerdster actions

• Submit (Establish Subject)
• Dismiss, snooze
• Comment, like, dislike, censor
• Demo FYI (LGTM). Same applies to ONE-OF-US.NET identity app. It's all signed, public, portable

Change Point of View

• Tom's name different
• My (the demo identity currently signed in) stuff gone (Tom did not (will not) vouch for Demo)

Notice the names

• Demo phone shows me (the Demo user) as "Me"
• I (Demo user) called me (me) Tom, and so it sees me as Tom
• Everyone sees everyone as how their network named them
• You are who my network says you are. I am who your network says I am

Show a few screens: PEOPLE, SERVICES, EXPORT, ..

SERVICES: me@nerdster.org - that's the key I handed the Nerdster to use it as a tool to state stuff on my behalf.

keys and signed, published, portable statements

• Portable.
  Trusted because they're signed, not because of where you found them.
  You can't use your Facebook likes on Twitter or Airbnb.
• Litter the Internet with signed instead of anonymous data.

HabloTengo.com

• Click on Tom's node. Try and access Tom's contact info on HabloTengo.com - Access Denied!
• The Nerdster is fully open and transparent. No need to trust it; everything is signed an published, and so it can be verified, audited.
• HabloTengo shows that our decentralized identity network can also protect our information and privacy. Get access to data only when
  1. prove your identity (that you posses the private key)
  2. you're trusted by the data owner
• It does need to be trusted to do things correctly and protect your data.
• The data remains portable, same identities as everywhere else, same auditable signatures.

No accounts

• No Nerdster account. I own the delegate key I let the Nerdster use to sign content on my behalf.

I can remove the Nerdster's account on my own, just clear this delegate statement.
• No ONE-OF-US.NET account. We vouch for each other

Important

• Real identities everywhere
• Open = ours, everybody's
• Decentralized = yours
• More on site and in big talk
