For years I’ve been on record proclaiming that identity centralization is good and synchronization is bad. I reasoned it is better to re-engineer processes to share identities than to distribute and fragment them.
I still believe this to be true. However I have come to realize that centralization of identities will not happen — during our lifetimes. The reasons are numerous, obvious, and beyond the scope of this post.
Where does this leave us on the essential question, i.e. how do we maintain identities now they must be distributed across the known universe?
The answer to this question will included within a series of blog posts. Stay tuned…
