In 2013, the Cloud Identity Summit [the precursor to Identiverse] hosted the seminal “Hope or Hype?” session, a humorous yet insightful examination of emerging standards like OAuth, OIDC, JOSE, and JWT. The recently late but forever great Vittorio Bertocci described the session as "hilarious & very informative!" in praise that the humbled presenter has aspired to live up to every day since. In tribute to Vittorio, this session will strive to be funny and informative as it takes a retrospective look at the pronouncements made in 2013 and considers similarities to today's hope and hype surrounding wallets and credentials.
