WebID - W3C Wiki

The W3C is still exploring better ways to do authentication, for example in the 2014 workshop on authentication. The WebID is a Community Group, and anyone can start a Community Group.

A better web

The web as it is today is, by design, ridden with hostility. The problems faced by its users fall into three main categories: ownership of identity, ownership of data, and surveillance capitalism. Websites want to own the identity of their users.

Threat Modeling with LEGO SERIOUS PLAY: Building your Digital Identity threat

W3C explored how Threat Modeling with LEGO SERIOUS PLAY can help uncover security, privacy, and human-rights threats in digital identity systems. Participants built threats from real-world harms, mapped them into shared landscapes, and discovered they are connected.

Personas - USABLE Tools

Personas, or profiles of end users, play an important role in the design process and allow developers to better understand community needs and facilitate the creation of user stories and more concrete use-cases for their products. In some of the most challenging security environments in the world, understanding the users capacity, threats, risks, and strengths can be difficult. The USABLE project has harnessed the knowledge of the digital security training community to build personas of high-risk users from around the globe. Learn more about USABLE Personas here.
