Digital Identity: The Overlooked Crisis in Internet Infrastructure

The internet's evolution into the backbone of modern life has left digital identity systems lagging behind. Where early web interactions relied on trust, today's online activities demand robust identity solutions that remain conspicuously absent.

Current verification methods fall short of true digital identity needs. Proving key ownership or biometric matches doesn't address Core requirements for portability and composability across platforms. This gap becomes increasingly dangerous as AI systems emerge as unchecked gatekeepers of digital access.

Proposed solutions like age-verification tools and surveillance systems create more privacy concerns than they resolve. The path forward lies in cryptographic identity solutions - self-owned digital passports leveraging zero-knowledge proofs to enable trust without sacrificing privacy.
