Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Thomas Mayfield – Building Interoperable Web3 Identity with the Veridian Platform
Q: How does Veridian address interoperability problems and move beyond walled gardens?
By providing a universal interoperable layer and extensible components that can be added to existing systems, Veridian enables organizations to bridge their current identities to a universal standard without stopping production, while offering a pathway to fully KERI-based infrastructure if desired.
Thomas Mayfield – Building Interoperable Web3 Identity with the Veridian Platform
Q: What is new in the Web3 or decentralized identity world, and how does Veridian differ from other digital IDs?
Veridian is an interoperable, multi-layer platform that bridges Web2 and Web3 and is built on the KERI protocol, making it future-proof, globally interoperable, and capable of handling both human and non-human identities with real-time security features.
Teresa Wu - Driving Mobile ID Adoption at IDEMIA
Q: What is the ideal wallet landscape for MDLs?
There will likely be a mix of state wallets, native user wallets, and private sector wallets; trust will be established through certifications and governance, with decision criteria based on risk and need for trust across different use cases.
Teresa Wu - Driving Mobile ID Adoption at IDEMIA
Q: How should adopters think about standards and timing?
Adopters should view standards as a baseline for interoperability but recognize that innovation will continue; they should start with practical integrations, learn quickly, and plan for backward-compatible evolutions rather than waiting for perfect standards.
Teresa Wu - Driving Mobile ID Adoption at IDEMIA
Q: What drives adoption among relying parties today?
Relying party adoption is driven by practical use cases (age verification, onboarding, step-up verification) and the ability to reduce friction in identity checks, along with government pilots and trusted infrastructure that lowers integration risk.
