Accountable Identity Online
summary
Spec published (v1.2) and a commercial implementation already exists; pilots ran in November and with Hitachi in April, and work on Spec 2.0 and an ADI interchange launches are underway. System uses PKI + verifiable credentials, FIDO for human binding, and a hash-based decentralized identifier derived from name DOB SSN to prevent duplicates. A blockchain-based global directory holds service registrations and certification, and a cloud wallet with delegated recovery unlinks identity from a single device while preserving privacy and issuer-governance.
