In this session, we'll explore the state of decentralized identities in 2025 and how they are shaping the landscape of digital privacy and security. Standardization, technical advances, and the rise of decentralized services like Bluesky are driving increased visibility and adoption of decentralized identities.

With growing privacy demands from both users and governments, decentralized identity solutions offer enhanced control and minimize data collection. We'll address the rising threat of deepfakes and the crucial need for authenticity in digital interactions.

We'll delve into the rise of mobile driver's licenses and digital IDs, examining how they provide a seamless and secure user experience. We'll also consider concerns around decentralized identities, such as the risk of excluding individuals who lack the necessary mobile devices, and discuss potential solutions to ensure inclusivity.

Join us for an insightful and engaging discussion, complete with a touch of pop culture, as we glimpse the future of living in a decentralized identity world.
