Update: Conversation with Phil Windley & his new book: Learning Digital Identity

Updated from our previously planned meeting (formerly Jan 31)

Join us for a conversation with Phillip J. Windley, author, Learning Digital Identity: Design, Deploy, and Manage Identity Architectures.

The discussion will be hosted by Sam Curren.

About the book:
Why is it difficult for companies to get digital identity right? If you’re still wrestling with even simple identity problems like website authentication, this book has the answers you need. Author Phil Windley provides conceptual frameworks to help you make sense of the protocols, standards, and solutions available, with suggestions for where and when you can apply them.

By linking current social login solutions to emerging self- sovereign identity issues, this book explains how digital identity works, gives you a firm grasp of what’s coming, and shows how you can use it to solve your most pressing identity problems. Developers, product managers, directors, and VPs will learn how to effectively leverage identity inside applications and across their businesses.

This book helps you:

• Understand the purpose of digital identity and why it’s fundamental to your business strategy
• Learn why “rolling your own” digital identity infrastructure is a bad idea
• Differentiate between core ideas such as authentication and authorization
• Compare the properties of centralized, federated, and decentralized identity systems
• Determine the right authorization methods for your application
• Understand core concepts such as trust, risk, security, and privacy
