LONDON - March 30, 2018 - s4story -- The third Internet of Agreements^® conference (London, 10th April 2018) sponsored by Mattereum addresses the theme of "Identity". It will focus on tricky issues around the new digital identity standards, including blockchain-based self-sovereign identity. It will be a long and challenging day, full of deep insights into the challenges to unlocking the full potential of trade on the blockchain.

Commerce relies on trust. Blockchains are disintermediating trade, enabling millions of new transactions every day and boosting the global economy. But the growing number of participants in the blockchain economy face new risks: how can we trust blockchain trading partners? Without real-world information about them, how do we know who we're dealing with? We need to know their identity.

Self-sovereign identity systems allow people to generate a number of names for themselves. Emerging third party attestation is starting to bind these abstract identities back to the physical world, but with all the hazards of handling personal data on a global scale, and with the complications of intersecting with local regulation jurisdiction by jurisdiction.

The conference brings together leading identity innovators in the blockchain space for a full day's discussions on the current state of the technology, future directions, and the potential and actuality of collaboration. It is possible to interconnect the real world and the blockchain world in a way which serves the needs of both domains. We look forward to exploring these topics together.
