We are delighted to present Michael Becker (Advisor, Author and Speaker) as a Special Guest on the Good, Bad and Ugly Innovation Podcast Michael is a World Class Expert in Online ID and Authentication and is a deep thinker about the possibilities, the pitfalls and the potential of Online ID.  He talks through the possibilities and the pitfalls in this tour-de-force Podcast. We cover a wide range of topics in this Podcast: The Exponential Change that is happening now The Three domains interested in ID and their interactions: Personal, Private Institutions (Enterprises, Charities), Public Institutions (Government) Value in the transactions between domains, but there is also value for everyone at the Intersection of the Domains – the Community Commons All Domains can have self-interest as well as a Greater Good interest. “Meeting of the Waters” – an analogy of the Top Down interest in ID / Authentication / Personal Date and the Bottom Up – or personal interests and concerns Upcoming EIDAS Regulations Smart Wallets Control of your personal reputation – the algorithm is in charge of your reputation, not you Identity Theft, Fraud – this is the only area that we are protected today. The real and tragic Costs of Identity Fraud Costs of too much Self-sovereignty can also lead to anarchy and chaos. The middle path – The Identity Nexus – where Individuals, Private and Public Institutions meet. The Identity Nexus Equation Michael’s new term, and this is my favorite – Phigiverse, the intersection of the Physical and Digital Worlds!!
