Can We Really Have Zero Trust with a Federated Identity Architecture? With Justin Richer (MongoDB)
Most organizations say they are doing Zero Trust. Many still trust their IAM directory implicitly, protect it with a firewall, and call that a modern identity architecture. That is a perimeter by another name. In this session, Agne Caunt (Dock Labs), Richard Esplin (Dock Labs) and Justin Richer (MongoDB) work through what Zero Trust actually requires at the identity layer, why federated architectures tend to recreate the problems they were designed to solve, and what a more structurally sound approach looks like. 0:00 Introduction and guest overview 3:48 Zero Trust: origins and core principles 10:26 Why Zero Trust is still unnatural 11:45 Zero Trust in what?

From Federation Sprawl to Unified Identity: How to Make Verified Identity Reusable Across Systems
Identity fragmentation isn’t usually the result of bad architecture. It’s the natural byproduct of growth. New apps get added. Business units operate independently. Acquisitions bring in new identity stacks. And over time, even well-designed IAM environments start to sprawl. In our recent masterclass, Richard Esplin (Head of Product) and Agne Caunt (Product Owner) walked through what this looks like in the real world and, more importantly, how organizations can evolve toward a unified identity architecture without ripping out the systems they already rely on. The session explored the limits of traditional federation, the shift toward reusable digital ID credentials, and a practical, phased path teams can use to reduce duplication, improve flexibility, and move closer to a zero trust model.

Inside World ID: How "Proof of Human" Works [Live Event]
AI agents are rapidly changing the shape of the internet. What started as an effort to keep bots out is quickly becoming a much more complex challenge: distinguishing humans from machines, enabling safe automation, and doing all of it without forcing users to overshare their identity. Against this backdrop, “proof of human” is moving from a niche concept to a foundational requirement for many digital experiences. To unpack what’s really happening, and what the identity ecosystem needs to do next, we hosted a conversation with Ajay Patel, Head of World ID at Tools for Humanity, and Kim Hamilton Duffy, CEO of a stealth startup and former Executive Director of the Decentralized Identity Foundation. The discussion explored the rising pressure created by AI-driven abuse, the risks of over-identification, the role biometrics can play when implemented carefully, and why interoperable, narrowly scoped credentials may be the path forward.

To explore how verified financial data can be transformed into reusable digital identity credentials, Dock Labs recently hosted a live podcast: How to Turn Open Finance Data into Digital ID Credentials and Connect IAM Silos. The session was led by Nick Lambert, CEO of Dock Labs, and featured industry leaders shaping the future of identity in Latin America: - André Facciolli, CEO of Netbr, a consultancy specializing in end-to-end identity management solutions that works with Brazil’s top 10 banks. - Alan Kim Mareines, CEO of Lina, a technology provider delivering Open Finance and Open Insurance infrastructure across Brazil. - Rodrigo Azevedo, Developer at Netbr, who built and presented the live proof-of-concept demo showing how Open Finance data can be issued as verifiable credentials and used across real-world scenarios like hotel check-ins or age verification at a pub. Together, the panel explored the challenges large enterprises face with siloed IAM systems, the benefits of combining Open Finance with verifiable credentials, and the broader implications for user privacy, security, and business innovation.

mDLs, Privacy, and User Tracking: What You Need to Know [Live Event]
Mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs) and mobile identity documents (mDocs) are rapidly moving from pilot projects to mainstream adoption. With more than five million mDLs already in circulation and half of U.S. states announcing plans to issue them, the identity community is asking an important question: what do these standards really mean for privacy, interoperability, and real-world implementation? To explore these issues, we hosted a live podcast featuring two leading experts. Andrew Hughes, VP of Global Standards at FaceTec, has spent more than a decade shaping international ISO standards for digital identity, credentials, and biometrics. Ryan Williams, Program Manager of Digital Credentialing at the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA), leads the subcommittee responsible for translating ISO standards into North American implementation guidelines. Moderated by Richard Esplin, Head of Product at Dock Labs, the conversation offered a rare opportunity to connect the dots between how the ISO standards are written, how they are being interpreted in practice, and what identity practitioners need to know as mDLs roll out worldwide. (0:00) – Welcome & Introductions (2:20) – What is AAMVA? (4:10) – Quick Primer on ISO 18013 (5:10) – Privacy Concerns & “No Phone Home” (7:28) – Device Retrieval vs. Server Retrieval (10:20) – Why Server Retrieval Was Added (15:35) – AAMVA’s Role in Real-World Implementation (17:14) – Why Server Retrieval Is Controversial (23:20) – Certification and Conformance Challenges (26:32) – User Consent and UI Limitations (29:22) – AAMVA Guidance on Consent & Data Sharing (32:38) – Should Server Retrieval Be Controversial?

Know Your Agent: Solving Identity for AI Agents [Live Event]
AI agents are getting smarter and soon they’ll be booking flights, submitting forms, and signing contracts on our behalf. But how can a payment provider, merchant, or financial institution verify that an AI agent is truly acting on behalf of a legitimate user? And how can they know what the agent is actually authorized to do? Vouched is introducing a new identity layer for AI agents: MCPI, the identity extensions to Anthropic’s MCP protocol. In this session, CEO Peter Horadan will walk us through how "Know Your Agent" works and what it means for the future of identity, delegation, and trust. (00:00) – Intro (03:35) – Why AI agents are exciting but risky (06:25) – The security problem with giving agents your credentials (10:33) – What’s missing from MCP: Identity and delegation (12:00) – Five problems we must solve for agent identity (16:30) – How MCP-I works: Agent shows up, user grants permissions (19:31) – Demo (30:12) – Why developers haven’t focused on identity for agents (31:04) – Real-world privacy risks with current agent behavior (32:36) – Can existing IAM systems adapt to agent delegation? (33:45) – Role of reusable credentials and digital IDs (40:03) – Do higher-assurance use cases need added safeguards? (41:41) – Stopping agents from rotating DIDs to avoid detection (43:59) – Peter’s advice to enterprise CTOs (46:24) – Audience Q&A (56:00) – AI agents will force every business to rethink workflows 📚 EXPLORE: Dock Labs - https://www.dock.io/ Vouched - https://vouched.id 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 FOLLOW: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/docknetwork/
