Demystifying Blockchain Identity (Identity at the Center Podcast)

As originally posted at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6twEHvxrvUs

I joined the Identity at the Center podcast (episode #250) to talk through blockchain identity — cutting past the buzzwords to what it actually means for identity and access management. We get into where decentralized identity genuinely helps, where traditional IAM is still the right tool, and how to reason about the tradeoffs without getting swept up in the hype.

A few of the threads we pull on:

• What "blockchain identity" really refers to — and the difference between a credential, a wallet, and an identifier.
• Where decentralized identity adds value versus where it adds complexity.
• How security and risk leaders should evaluate digital-identity claims from vendors.
• The practical questions to ask before betting an IAM program on any of this.
