The Linux Foundation Member Summit 2023

The Trust Over IP Foundation (ToIP) is focused on the centerpiece of the ToIP stack: the trust spanning protocol that will do for identity interchange what the Internet Protocol did for data interchange. This panel will explore how this will enable ubiquitous, trusted, interoperable identity exchange. The internet was designed without a trusted identity layer to connect physical entities to the digital world. This layer is now emerging in the form of decentralized digital identity systems based on digital wallets and digital credentials. ToIP was founded by a pan-industry group of leading organizations with a mission to provide a robust, common set of standards forming a complete architecture for internet-scale digital trust. At the center of the ToIP Technical Architecture Specification is the ToIP Trust Spanning Protocol. This protocol will do for identity interchange what the Internet protocol did for data interchange. This interactive panel, moderated by ToIP’s Executive Director, will explore the views of its member organizations for a lively and engaging debate on how we finally establish trust in the digital age.
