Talking the Future of Tech
Distributed ID is a web three concept of being able to use zero trust and identify users without having a central authority.
In this conversation, we talk about critical concepts like Open ID trust government actions, and how this could be influential and important in a web three and IoT context.
We really drill into how the system works, and I know you will enjoy the conversation

How do we handle distributing identity? DID stands for distributed identifiers, and today we talk about Web3 as well as distributing identity.
Distributing identity is not just about people and personal identity, but also about things and how we identify and track different things in a distributed way without a centralized infrastructure. That’s fundamental to what Web3 is talking about.
How do we break down the centralization that we have been building over the last 15 years of what Web3 people call Web2, and look at ways to do it in a decentralized way where the trust is between the parties involved? Where it’s set up in a way that you don’t have to have a centralized trust authority.
We spend a lot of time talking about this, what the spec is, what it means, and looking at it in a broader context.

Rob’s Hot Take:
In the July 21st episode, Rob Hirschfeld explores the world of decentralized identifiers (DIDs), a crucial technology emerging from W3C specifications for web three. The conversation underscores the significance of laying the groundwork for web3 protocols and establishing bridges between current and future technologies. While the disruptive impact of web3 remains uncertain, the episode emphasizes the importance of widely adopting, testing, and integrating these new specifications into present-day technologies to shape the next generation of digital frameworks.
