We are still using stop-gap approaches like passwords to solve this identity crisis, even though 81% of data breaches are related to passwords—“123456” being the most popular password used for the last five years, which can be cracked instantly.The other approaches for solving this Identity crisis, like biometrics, have been severely challenged by the accelerated revolution of generative AI.
We almost forget that there is a digital service that we use several times a day, which we cannot even live without, but it does not use stop-gap measures like passwords or even biometrics to identify us; we even have a name for fear of losing it—“Nomophobia.” Yes, I am talking about the mobile phones. We do not need to use passwords or any other methods when making or receiving phone calls; the mobile network identifies the user on its own.
Mobile-network has its own “Identity Layer” enabled through the SIM. This Identity Layer quietly existed since 1991. So, the glaring question is, can’t we bring in the same Identity Layer to solve the identity crisis of the internet? The answer is an astounding yes! The SIM uses cryptography to identify the user, and that too in a humanized way so that it is invisible to the human user. We can use SIM-based methods to enable the missing identity layer of the Internet and solve the identity crisis for the IoC, IoT and IoTh—and protect everyone, everything and every thought connected to the Internet.
