#1: You Don't Own Your Identity.mp3

The Digital Identity Podcast by SelfKey | Blockchain | Digital Identity | Decentralization |

How many identities do you own on the internet? From your Instagram handle to online banking username, there are various constructs of your identity that form who you are. But you don't own any of them, and that presents many problems when it comes to establishing trust, protecting that information, and making sure you don't fall victim to a data breach.
