Revised Laws of Identity
Guy Huntington
Trailblazing Human and Entity Identity & Learning Visionary - Created a new legal identity architecture for humans/ AI systems/bots and leveraged this to create a new learning architecture
This article is my homage to Kim Cameron. He was a visionary identity thought leader in the 90's and 2000's creating the "Laws of Identity" who sadly recently died. However, since he created the laws, over the last two decades, much has changed in the identity world including:
Here's my main point - legal identity is different than that of "identity". A legal identity must have the ability, in a court of law, to legally differentiate that it’s Jane Doe 1 who’s involved, and not Malicious Sally who’s masquerading as her, nor it’s not Jane Doe 2,3,4.5 etc. who are DNA identical human clones of Jane Doe 1.
Thus, in homage to Kim, I believe the laws of identity need to be updated.?So, I’ve sat down and created 18 principles covering identity.?It’s out of the box thinking, for out of the box times.?
Note: At the end of the principles, I have referenced different architecture, cost and problem docs laying it all out. Since I'm very passionate about learning, you'll see me leveraging the rethought human and AI system/bot legal identities to rethink learning.
Principle 1
A human and/or AI system and bots can have multiple identities.?
Principle 2
From birth on, a human can only have one legal physical identity and at least one legal digital identity. Multiple digital legal identities are possible.?
Principle 3
A human’s legal physical identity MUST be biometrically tied to their legal identity registration using forensic biometrics (which are not able to profile a person like DNA) e.g., fingerprints and iris.
Principle 4
A person’s biometrics used in legal identity SHOULD be revocable and re-issuable.
Principle 5
A human legal identity MUST use forensic biometrics able to legally and scientifically differentiate human clones e.g., Jane Doe 1,2,3,4,5 etc.
Principle 6
The authoritative sources for a human’s legal identity i.e., the CRVS (civil registration vital statistics) system, MUST be to global data standards and able to be queried to confirm a person’s legal identity.
Principle 7
A person’s death, after confirmation by the local coroner, should result in death notifications being digitally sent out to either registered parties or, to a global notification system.
Principle 8
The legal identity of each person MUST be in control by them e.g.,
Principle 9
A person must be able to provide claims about their legal identity, biometric, behavioral and neuro-data, from their SOLICT/LSSI devices, which are digitally signed by an authority.?The person should be able to choose which portions of the above to produce in a claim.
Principle 10
A person, or a bot, MUST have the ability to prove portions of their legal identity and some types of credentials anonymously (e.g., above or below age of consent, human or bot, Covid vaccinations, etc.), either physically or digitally.
Principle 11
Not all digital identities require legal identity registration. However, where risk requires it, a person’s smart digital identities of them MUST be legally registered and tied to the underlying legal physical identity of the person.
Principle 12
All consents given by a person, from cradle to grave, MUST be recorded in their SOLICT, which they control.?This gives the person the ability to later go back, determine which consents they gave and, if local laws apply, request removal from the databases.
Principle 13
A person/bot should have a PIAM (Personal Identity Access Management) system able to create legal consent agreements on the fly, between the person/bot and other third parties.
Principle 14
Depending on risk, different levels of informed consent for releasing portions of a person’s legal identity, biometric, behavioral and neuro-data should be used.
Principle 15
An AI system/bot legal identity must be able to be created, checked, and verified instantaneously on the planet i.e., it requires a global legal framework locally managed.
Principle 16
To mitigate the risk caused by this curve - https://hvl.net/pdf/PatScannellHockeyStickShapedCurve.pdf, the legal identity framework (i.e., governance, business processes, tech infrastructure and end users), must be continually threat assessed, by a global, independent, non-profit, The non-profit will continuously issue threat assessments which, depending on severity, MUST be responded to by all parties in a similar manner e.g., a very high risk MUST be responded to within hours.?This brings industry best practices to the world of legal identity.
Principle 17
The global, independent, non-profit MUST have mechanisms to prevent malicious parties from accessing or affecting their internal data.?As well, it must have governance mechanisms to in effect watch and check the non-profit i.e., watching the watchers.
Principle 18
A person MUST have the ability to live privately in a non-private world.?This requires laws and regulations requiring a person’s consent for their legal identity, biometric, behavioral and neuro-data to be used to identify them.?It also requires the technical infrastructure the laws above spell out i.e., SOLICT, LSSI Devices, PIAM that allow a person to control their legal identity and their forensic biometrics.
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.
