Carlos Moreira, WISeKey’s Founder and CEO, during his presentation highlighted the need to use decentralized technologies related to Digital Identity and Blockchain which are in line with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals aiming on providing every person on the planet with a solid and tamper-proof digital identity based on common, interoperable standards by 2030.
A digital identity under the control of the person is a fundamental human right which is not currently protected neither understood. It is also an endangered right due the exponentiality of the technology. Current digital technologies track and scrutinize us by taking into consideration only our consumer identity and not our human identity.
The digital economy considers every click, search or like as an asset to be monetized. Our lives, reflected in cyberspace, are plundered for behavioral data for the sake of a system that converts our freedom into profit. We are quietly being domesticated into accepting as normal that decision rights vanish before we even know that there is a decision to make.
WISeKey is a leading global cybersecurity company currently deploying large-scale digital identity ecosystems for people and objects using Blockchain, AI, and IoT respecting the Human as the Fulcrum of the Internet.
