This is just as true about identity as it is about the Internet of Things. That's why we call it self-sovereign identity.

But they are stuck in a paper world because many of the solutions that have been proposed for solving it, lead to central systems that require near-universal buy-in to work. Protocol-based solutions are the antedote to that and, fortunately, they're available now.

Estimates show that we lose one language every two weeks, and half of our 7,000 languages will be extinct by the end of the century, so preserving these tongues and the cultural identities that go with them is crucial.

Creating an identity system that is flexible enough to support the various ad hoc scenarios that the world presents us with can only be done using a decentralized system like Sovrin that allows multiple credentials from various authorities to be shared in the ways the scenario demands.

Summary: Token-based identity systems move us from talking about who, to thinking about what, so that people can operationalize their digital lives. Token-based identity systems support complex online interactions that are flexible, ad hoc, and cross-domain. Account- and token-based identity are not mutually exclusive.

That scenario is similar to the state of digital identity today. We have identity providers (IdPs) like Google and Apple who control a closed ecosystem of relying parties (with a lot of overlap). Fixing this requires the equivalent of an acceptance network for digital identity. Acceptance networks implement metasystems.

Summary: The architecture of an identity system has a profound impact on the nature of the relationships it supports. Introductory note: I recently read a paper from Sam Smith, Key Event Receipt Infrastructure , that provided inspiration for a way to think about and classify identity systems. More succinctly we ask: who controls what?
