The humanized internet
summary
Claims a workable path to give 1.5 billion people a persistent, privacy-controlled digital identity using phone-first credentials and cryptographic digital lockbox attestations rather than central registries. Cites refugee-center use cases, the ID2020 UN forum, and Estonia e‑residency as precedents. Proposes biometrics such as thumbprinting and retinal scans, transient attestations, and federation of proofs; flags hard problems in ciphers, provenance, and recovery. Notes 230 million children lack IDs and that pilots and standards work are ongoing rather than a single deployed system.
