DESCRIPTION:Digital identity is sold as a path to trust\, inclusion\, and "
 digital empowerment." In practice\, it is a brittle control surface: a set
  of design choices that decide who is seen\, who is excluded\, and who can
  be targeted at scale.\n\nBorn from a landmark research project\, _The Dig
 ital Identity Event Horizon_\, this talk describes the 2025 "mask-off mome
 nt" for digital identity: the point where multiple comforting narratives c
 ollapse and the core use of identity systems as population-management infr
 astructure becomes hard to deny. Using short vignettes from New Design Con
 gress case-study work (Estonia\, the US\, Australia\, Gaza\, and others)\,
  it shows how ambiguity\, vendor incentives\, and governance theatre turn 
 identity into fraud-permissive\, coercion-ready infrastructure\n\nIn respo
 nse to this decline\, this talk concludes proposes a working model of the 
 digital self as a socio-technical system with six properties: serialisatio
 n\, custodianship\, presentation\, authentication\, authorisation\, and as
 setisation\, and offers new framing and threat models to help understand h
 ow digital identity creates brittle societies.
