Gimly's focus is on self-sovereign identity and secure data exchange as pivotal building blocks for the future of internet, supply chain, finance, and health care.

11:30- 11:35 Michael Kubach, Team Identity Management at Fraunhofer IAO, TRAIN (ESSIF Lab subproject). The trust management architecture that TRAIN enables more secure, trustable digital interactions. At the same time a classical hierarchical CA-type structure is avoided – limiting fraud, chaos and the pure dominance of the economically strongest actors in the system.

The world faces complex and interrelated issues that can only be addressed by real-time secure digital co-operation between diverse organisations. How can we enable effective co-operation between autonomous actors and institutions without sacrificing digital sovereignty? The answer is a new kind of open source/open standards platform, with a unique social enterprise driving its development.
