Can the blockchain solve ‘identity’, with Jonathan Camilleri Bowman (Sekuritance)

<p>It’s weird: when I moved house, the world suddenly stopped while everyone waited for me to get a new utility bill, at which point we resumed normal service with me once again a verified real-life person. We've said it on this show before, but there has to be a better way to prove identities than a utility bill, a signature, and an unchangeable government-issued number of some sorts…</p> <p>And of course, there is, but none of the ones we’ve discussed to date felt complete, which is why I was keen to speak to <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/joncbowman/'>Jonathan Camilleri Bowman</a>. Having got too-often bumped into issues when trying to verify identities for his earlier business, he founded <a href='https://sekuritance.com/'>Sekuritance</a> as a CeFi and DeFi RegTech ecosystem that could provide a one-stop-shop on all compliance needs.</p> <p>So in this episode we chat about what that means and whether the auditable nature of the blockchain might offer a solution to solving the identity problem.</p> <p>You can learn more about Sekuritance on their homepage - <a href='https://sekuritance.com/'>www.sekuritance.com</a> - and while their academy is not up yet, you can find more details on <a href='https://www.sbs.ox.ac.uk/programmes/executive-education/online-programmes/oxford-blockchain-strategy-programme'>the Oxford University Blockchain course here</a></p> <p> </p> <p>You can learn more about myself, Brendan le Grange, <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendanlegrange/'>on my LinkedIn page</a> (feel free to connect), while you can find my action-adventure novels on <a href='https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0133U3HGC/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_6VS5451P6XEAX61A9G5J'>Amazon, some versions even for free</a>.</p> <p>If you have any feedback, questions, or if you would like to participate in the show, please feel free to reach out to me via the contact page on this site.</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Brendan</p> <p> </p>
