Hi all, Before I respond to Chris Edwards (a highly regarded technology journalist), does anyone have any comment, knowledge or view on the question? Thanks in advance. KR., John Moor Managing Director, IoT Security Foundation Make it safe to connect: Build Secure – Buy Secure – Be Secure Mobile: 07739 982327 - Head Office: +44 (0)1506 374 237 https://iotsecurityfoundation.org<https://iotsecurityfoundation.org/> Date: Monday, 20 May 2024 at 10:25 To: John Moor <john.moor@iotsecurityfoundation.org> Subject: Identity and security Hi John, I hope things are going well. I’m doing some stuff on digital identity and things like the Trust over IP Foundation’s work, primarily for NE in the short term. Is the IoTSF engaged in any way with the work going on with vLEIs and the ToIP’s verifiable indentifier (VID) – basically an IP address with a mechanism for checking the identity of a node? It might be a bit outside the scope of the IoTSF but OTOH might be something the organisation is beginning to track. The vLEI is somewhat more finance-oriented right now but looks as though it might have some value for the IoT/edge-computing space (basically to help check provenance of data or of software containers that a remote user might try to run on an edge node).
