Conference of Purpose

ID-Legal conference brings together identity technologists and lawyers, academics and & public policy experts to explore and map the gap between the two fields.

This mapping will :

  • Enable drafting of better regulation and policy being made to support safe use of online and digital identity.
  • Enable design of improved identity technologies that minimize risks, maximize protections and support policy based remedies.
  • Ensure consideration of the user experience of online and digital identity so that people have realistic expectations about the legal implications of their use.
