Some of the key topics covered during this episode with Drummond are: Does the new ToIP Technology Architecture Specification address the questions posed by Kim Cameron in his 2005 whitepaper? If we agree that one identity system cannot rule them all, how then can an identity metasystem solve interoperability across identities, identity systems and contexts? (hint: a trust spanning protocol!) What are the leading contenders for becoming the trust spanning protocol? What are some examples of trust tasks, other than credential exchange, that are possible to unlock? How does a trust spanning protocol x trust tasks lead to advancements in how we manage our relationships, and help us move away from phone numbers and emails as our most valuable identifiers? Where can governments participate within the hourglass model framework to accelerate digital trust on the open internet? Where to find Drummond?
