Fake news mitigation architecture – Identity repository
Nov 19th, 2016 by Jesper Kråkhede
A challenge to manage is the identity repository. Everyone has an agenda. It´s as easy as that. That creates a problem on whom to trust. But as the solutions is built on putting the power to the receiver the problem with owning the repository is a bit smaller.
The central repository is actually just an identity administration point using a federation service where other identity repositories could connect. BankID would be one but any corporation or organisation could connect, as long as the identity process is vetted. Facebook would for example not be allowed as the identity is not vetted.
