Dear Shri RaviShankar Prasadji,

Focus of my following earlier E-Mails, were less for creation of a “ Federated Identity for Indians “ and targeted more towards forcing Social Media to compensate their users for using their PERSONAL DATA and, in the process, making tons of money by selling that data to online advertisers :

Ø  Digital Dividend from Demographic Data [ 4 D ]…………………..... [ 14 Feb 2019 ]

 

Ø  SARAL ( Single  Authentic  Registration for Anywhere  Login )…[ 10 Feb 2019 ]

PrivacyForSale.com ……………………………………………………………………..[ 26 Aug 2017 ]

 

Now Shri Pandurang Kamat ( CTO – Persistent Systems ) has come up with a detailed architecture for a  “Federated Identity “, as described below

I urge you to invite Shri Kamat and ask :

Kamatji,

Besides enabling “ FEDERATED IDENTITY “, can your proposed architecture accommodate the idea of “  COMPENSATING USERS “ of Social Media, as suggested in the above-mentioned e-mails from Hemen Parekh ?

Parekh claims that, if implemented, his suggestion , which seems very similar to yours, could mean each user getting Rs 30,000 per month from various Social Media / E Com / Fintech / Insurance / Banking etc websites, for use of their Personal ( but Anonymized / Aggregated ) data.

If you think such enhancement is possible, I request you to send me your detailed proposal

Ø  Using one platform’s credentials to login to a host of services is known as  FEDERATED IDENTITY

Ø  A solution to this problem is to use a DECENTRALIZED IDENTITY , says Pandurang Kamat, CTO for research and innovation at tech services company, Persistent Systems [  pandurang_kamat@persistent.com ]

Ø  “Decentralized identity is a paradigm shift , where the end-user is at the centre of their IDENTITY WORLD. There would be more control on their side on who handles different parts of their identity and HOW THEY GET TO USE IT. There’s also a decoupling of IDENTITY PROVIDER and identity usage, so the provider can’t track where the end user made use of those credentials “, he says

Ø  Persistent has developed an IDENTITY SOLUTION that is compliant with the World Wide Web Consortium’s DECENTRALIZED IDENTITY STANDARDS….

Ø   “ The entire work was done by Persistent System’s tem based in India “, says Kamat

Ø  In this system, USERNAMES and PASSWORDS are replaced by UNIQUE IDs

Ø  “ It’s a user-centric identity that is created , owned, and managed by users of their free will. Each user is identified with a decentralized IDENTIFIER that is globally UNIQUE. Each identifier has associated cryptographic material that helps in authenticating users and verifying credentials that are issued to or presented by them. A distributed ledger or a blockchain, forms the backbone of this system “ , says Kamat

Ø  The technology provides PRIVACY CONTROLS to the individual

Ø  The user can choose to only share the MINIMALLY REQUIRED pieces of the IDENTIFIER with each service provider they interact with

Ø  Persistent is part of the Trust over IP Foundation { operations@trustoverip.org }, which is defining a COMPLETE ARCHITECTURE for internet-scale digital trust. Work it is doing in India is going into the GLOBAL STANDARDS and technology development  of DECENTRALIZED IDENTITY PROTOCOLS
