CONTROLLING OUR ID WITH SELF-SOVEREIGN IDENTITIES

Who am I? An existential question that is especially hard to answer in a connected world. Proving who we are online is complicated, when our ID cards are still physical. Plus, we gave up some control over our online identities, simply for convenience. A technology that is in development could help us regain control using a special form of digital wallet: Self-sovereign identities, or SSI, use cutting-edge cryptography, including zero-knowledge proofs.

Meanwhile, Geoff meets mentalist Thorsten Havener. Will he reveal Geoff’s true identity? Inspired by this, Shuko presents some crypto magic… More Bosch podcasts: From Know-how to wow “MEMS: with all technical senses”: https://fromknowhowtowow.podigee.io/4-mems Silicon carbide semiconductors make electric cars more efficient https://www.bosch-presse.de/pressportal/de/en/bosch-poised-for-leap-in-e-mobility-technology-201158.html Beyond Bosch: https://podtail.com/de/podcast/beyond-bosch/ Mighty Micro our German Podcast all things Semiconductors: https://mightymicro.podigee.io/
