Change & Risk Require New Enterprise Tools

As AI systems, bots (both digital and physical), AI agents, and IoT devices invade your enterprise, it increases the pace of change and risk. This brief article focuses on why you should be deploying TODA, EMS and graphs in your enterprise architecture to mitigate risk.

First, Lets Set The Stage

Consider the arrival of human AI agents:

Next, consider the arrival of hundreds, then thousands and tens of thousands of AI agents within your enterprise, doing tasks faster, cheaper and better. Skim these two articles to understand the challenges associated with this:

TODA

I was introduced a few years ago to Toufi Saliba. He's Global Chair of IEEE's International Protocols for AI Security, who, together with Dan Toliver had produced a new protocol called TODA. I’ve inserted many links about this at the end of this section for you to review.

The short version is it works at transactional speeds, leveraging Merkle math and cycles, able to prove that a transaction, from end point 1 to end point 2, occurred on X date, at Y time, containing a TODA file (which can be anything) with a hash of the file as well.

I knew when I saw this I was looking at a new foundational piece for not only rethinking legal identity but also enterprise identity. I could see the TODA file could contain unique identifiers and credentials. This could be securely written to the entity's source code. I also saw enterprises creating TODA “capability files” able to specify what authorization rights an entity has.

i also liked the fact TODA works at transactional speeds. Why? Consider an AI system on the planet. it has the abilities today to create digital bots at speeds of thousands to millions PER SECOND, WHICH IN THE NEXT INSTANCE CAN BE OPERATING ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET. Thus, TODA has the ability to deal with this.

Further, Dan and I talked about hives and the ability to cross ink TODA files. So, MedBot1 might belong to AI system hive 1234. Both of them could have TODA capability files written to them containing their relationship. Bear in mind that a “hive” could easily be a combination of AI systems, digital bots, physical bots and increasingly smart IoT devices.

The TODA Protocol

So, TODA is one piece of your new entity management security strategy. But on its own, it’s not enough. Why?

EMS - Entity Management Systems

Let’s use Nurse or Doctor Jane Doe as an example. She interacts with not only many different hospital staff and patients, but also with many different emerging new types of entities like AI systems, bots and smart AI leveraged digital identities of people. As well, she’s also interacting with an increasing number of IoT devices.

It requires an authoritative source for all entities, which I’ve called a new “Entity Management System” or EMS. Skim this article, “Entity Management System".

THE EMS MUST ALSO DEAL WITH RAPIDLY EMERGING SMART, AI AGENT IDENTITIES OF US

Thus, deep within your enterprise authoritative source "bowels", will need the ability to enter smart AI leveraged digital identities against the physical identity of the employee, contractor or customer. Skim this enterprise architecture article addressing this, ?“Part I AI Systems, Bots, AI Agents, IoT Devices, & Identity Architecture”

?Yet, having a new EMS on it's own isn't enough. Why?

Identity Relationships & Graphs

The relationships Jane Doe has with AI systems, bots (both digital and physcial), other humans, their smart AI leveraged digital identities and IoT devices, might last years, months, days, weeks or seconds. Some of them can be very fast changing. Our old database toolkits aren't good at managing all of these complex one to many and many to many identity relationships. Skim “Hives, AI, Bots & Humans - Another Whopper Sized Problem”.

LDAP TOO NEEDS TO BE SUPPLEMENTED OR REPLACED BY GRAPHS

In the 90's when HR departments were getting going creating enterprise identity systems, LDAP was selected because of:

  • it's speed at doing fast lookups
  • Ability to leverage the tree shaped architecture to hive off portions of it allowing say a geographic area to do local identity lookups

All of this was leveraged to the hilt by IAM vendors and architects to build on top of LDAP their IAM systems. Yet today, it's not going to work well anymore.

Why? The fast changing, multiple, one to many and many to many, identity relationships described above. LDAP is crappy at a performance level in handling this.

Graphs are very good at doing this. Thus, your enterprise needs to rapidly adopt graphs to manage fast changing identity relationships with one to many and many to many authorization relationships.

I strongly suggest readers acquaint themselves with 3Edges, a graph based authorization product, recently acquired by IndyKite. It can easily map and manage many to many relationships with low coding.

Rapid Rate of Change Requires Out of the Box Thinking For Our Out of the Box Times

I have a friend, Pat Scanell, who a few yeara ago created this diagram which I absolutely love. It shows in one pic, the logarithmic rate of tech change and our inability to keep up with it cognitively, socially, business or politically. This is the diagram you folks should be showing your C-Suite with this article.

All around the C-suite is rapid change coming at them from all directions. Yes, it’s darned complicated. It's not a simple tweak and twiddle architectural change your enterprise can make. The old toolkits are no longer up to the tasks of today's new age we're rapidly entering. I suggest your C-suite and board skim ?“Getting Your Company Ready for AI/tech- What Boards Need to Know”.

New Security Model

For the last several years, I realized our old corporate security models weren't going to work well against the incoming tech tsunami wave. You might want to skim “New Physical/Cybersecurity Security Model” to see my vision and thoughts.

All The Above Is Crying Out For A Rethink Of Enterprise Architecture

Enterprise CISO's Take Note

The chances of most local jurisdictions rapidly adopting the legal identity architecture is slim to none. Thus, last fall, I put myself in your shoes, asking myself, "What should i be doing to rapidly leverage the incoming tech tsunami wave, while mitigating risk?"

Skim these two articles to see my answer:

Your Enterprise Is Entering A Major Paradigm Shift

Where your old ways won't work well anymore. Thus, it requires out of the box thinking for our out of the box times. That's what the new architectures provide.

I do short-term consulting to get C-suites into a new transformation roadmap. One of the key parts is creating the beginning guts of a new enterprise architecture which this article highlights.

About Guy Huntington

I'm an identity trailblazing problem solver. My past clients include Boeing, Capital One and the Government of Alberta's Digital Citizen Identity & Authentication project. Many of my past projects were leading edge at the time in the identity/security space. I've spent the last eight years working my way through creating a new legal identity architecture and leveraging this to then rethink learning.

I've also done a lot in education as a volunteer over my lifetime.?This included chairing my school district's technology committee in the 90's - which resulted in wiring most of the schools with optic fiber, behind building a technology leveraged school, and past president of Skills Canada BC and Skills Canada.

I do short term consulting for Boards, C-suites and Governments, assisting them in readying themselves for the arrival of AI systems, bots and AI leveraged, smart digital identities of humans.

I've written LOTS about the change coming. Skim the?over 100 LinkedIn articles?I've written,?or my webpage?with lots of papers.

A 100,000-Foot Level Summary Of Legal Human Identity

  • Each person when they’re born has their legal identity data plus their forensic biometrics (fingerprints, and later when they can keep their eyes open – their iris) entered into a new age CRVS system (Civil Registration Vital Statistics - birth, name/gender change, marriage/divorce and death registry) with data standards
  • The CRVS writes to an external database, per single person, the identity data plus their forensic biometrics called a SOLICT “Source of Legal Identity & Credential Truth).?The person now controls this
  • As well, the CRVS also writes to the SOLICT legal identity relationships e.g. child/parent, cryptographically linking the SOLICTs.?So Jane Doe and her son John will have cryptographic digitally signed links showing their parent/child.?The same methodology can be used for power of attorney/person, executor of estate/deceased, etc.
  • The SOLICT in turn then pushes out the information to four different types of LSSI Devices “Legal Self-Sovereign Identity”; physical ID card, digital legal identity app, biometrically tied physical wristband containing identity information or a chip inserted into each person
  • The person is now able, with their consent, to release legal identity information about themselves.?This ranges from being able to legally, anonymously prove they’re a human (and not a bot), above or below age of consent, Covid vaccinated, etc.?It also means they can, at their discretion, release portions of their identity like gender, first name, legal name, address, etc.
  • NOTE: All consents granted by the person are stored in their SOLICT
  • Consent management for each person will be managed by their PIAM “Personal Identity Access Management) system.?This is AI leveraged, allowing the person, at their discretion, to automatically create consent legal agreements on the fly
  • It works both locally and globally, physically and digitally anywhere on the planet
  • AI systems/bots are also registered, where risk requires it, in the new age CRVS system
  • Governance and continual threat assessment, is done by a new, global, independent, non-profit funded by a very small charge per CRVS event to a jurisdiction to a maximum yearly amount.

A 100,000-Foot Level Summary Of The Learning Vision:

  • When the learner is a toddler, with their parents’ consent, they’ll be assessed by a physical bot for their learning abilities.?This will include sight, sound, hearing and smell, as well as hand-eye coordination, how they work or don’t work with others, learning abilities, all leveraging biometric and behavioral data
  • All consents given on behalf of the learner or, later in the learner’s life by the learner themselves, are stored in the learner’s SOLICT “Source of Legal Identity & Credential Truth”
  • This is fed into a DLT “Digital Learning Twin”, which is created and legally bound to the learner
  • The DLT the produces its first IEP “Individualized Education Plan”, for the learner
  • The parents take home with them a learning assistant bot to assist the learner, each day, in learning.?The bot updates the DLT, which in turn continually refines the learner’s IEP
  • All learning data from the learner is stored in their LDV “Learner Data Vault”
  • When the learner’s first day of school comes, the parents prove the learner and their identities and legal relationship with the learner, via their LSSI devices (Legal Self-Sovereign Identity)
  • With their consent, they approve how the learner’s identity information will be used not only within the school, but also in AI/AR/VR learning environments
  • As well, the parents give their consent for the learner’s DLT, IEP and learning assistant bot to be used, via their PIAM (Personal Identity Access Management) and the learner’s PIAM
  • The schools LMS “Learning Management System” instantly takes the legal consent agreements, plus the learner’s identity and learning information, and integrates this with the school’s learning systems
  • From the first day, each learner is delivered a customized learning program, continually updated by both human and AI system/bot learning specialists, as well as sensors, learning assessments, etc.
  • All learner data collected in the school, is stored in the learner’s LDV
  • If the learner enters any AI/AR/VR type learning environment, consent agreements are created instantly on the fly with the learner, school, school districts, learning specialists, etc.?
  • These specify how the learner will be identified, learning data use, storage, deletion, etc.
  • When the learner acquires learning credentials, these are digitally signed by the authoritative learning authority, and written to the learner’s SOLICT.
  • The SOLICT in turn pushes these out to the learner’s LSSI devices
  • The learner is now in control of their learning credentials
  • When the learner graduates, they’ll be able, with their consent, to offer use of their DLT, IEP and LDV to employers, post-secondary, etc.?This significantly reduces time and costs to train or help the learner learn
  • The learner continually leverages their DLT/IEP/LDV until their die i.e., it’s a lifelong learning system
  • IT’S TRANSFORMATIONAL OVER TIME, NOT OVERNIGHT
