In a world where everyone is focusing on how to reopen, how to provide proof of vaccination or clear health status to board a plane or to enter a sporting event, digital identity is suddenly becoming very real now. In this discussion, Brian Behlendorf, Managing Director for Blockchain, Healthcare and Identity at the Linux Foundation, and Christine Leong, Accenture’s lead on Decentralized Identity, will take a step back and discuss the range of efforts and initiatives underway to develop and deploy digital identity solutions impacting not just from travel and healthcare but financial services, supply chains, government and more.
