December 27, 2023 update - I strongly suggest readers skim “How Do I Trust Entities?   Different Levels of Identity & Credential Assurance - A Thought Paper”.

June 13, 2023 update - I strongly advise readers to skim these recent articles:

Premise

It isn't feasible for most enterprises to run physical and cybersecurity centers on their own. Why? The attack vector surface is too large, the expertise required is limited, there's significant resource requirements, and the pace of change is increasingly fast. That's what this post discusses.

The Incoming Technological Tsunami Wave

Skim this article:

Here's the main point - the revolution is merging offline and online worlds.

The combination of AI, AR, VR, nanotechnology and wireless is rapidly producing new products, at low price points, which can be used to attack an enterprise, both physically and virtually.

Merging of Offline and Online Worlds Brings With It New Legal Challenges

Skim these two articles to see a very different security model evolving than what's used today:

My point? There's all sorts of new security risks enterprises will want to mitigate. It requires a rethink in enterprise security models, starting with legal identity of AI systems and bots as well as humans.

Physical and Virtual Bots

Skim these articles to see what's rapidly coming towards us:

My point? Depending on risk vs reward, this tech will be leveraged by smart criminals or malicious competitors to be used against you. So, if the enterprise has a high value target, then expect completely unforseen new attack vectors to be created against you. Like what?

  • Use of micro flying bots to physically infiltrate your enterprise, record sensitive things, et al
  • Coordination of microbots with virtual bots to then target enterprise systems
  • Leveraging the above to effectively hack into your systems and then masquerade as trusted employees, aI systems, bots, etc.

To see an HR application of this, skim this article where I talk about Malicious Molly:

Summary - Pace of Change

The rapid rate of technological change depicted in this graph, means today's best enterprise IT physical and cybersecurity strategy can quickly become tomorrow's turd. The rate of change is beyond peoples' and most enterprises ability to keep up with.

The way I see it, your jobs increasingly become harder as the physical and virtual attack surfaces rapidly change. Add all of the above up, and most enterprises don't have the resources, expertise and budgets to keep up with all of it.

This is why increasing portions of an enterprise's security systems will increasingly become outsourced to specialists and security services. All of which will become yet another problem i.e., how much do you trust them?

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.

Quotes I REALLY LIKE!!!!!!:

  • We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them” – Albert Einstein
  • “Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end.” – Robin Sharma
  • “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future” – John F. Kennedy

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
