How to sabotage Europe?
Skare initiative: everything can be used against you
Divide: lack of standards (Bable) interchange of profiles
Stop differentiation between differences (generations, approach, gender, method of thinking,...)
Happening from… ?
FB apps with apps with apps with apps: unethical conclusions (Sherlock Holmes)
MAC addresses are on every communicating device

Where are we now?
Artificial Intelligence & Blockchain: technologies out of control ? open source ?
From structured data models to deep learning (centralized - decentralized)
A lot of obsolete jobs... so what will be the jobs of the future ?
(easy pay, winwin, added value, ...)
Scared to be on the internet - existing tools have a bad reputation (proxy)
Scared of other generations (teachers, 50+, …) = slow change

Generations not on FB, but FB is more safe than email
Janin China = social misbehavior = no more life
Insurance, elderly disease, voting, …
To buy a tent = cheap or adventurous or festival lover ?

More than Privacy
Non Profit - Non Gov and generating value out of your profile (anti theft system)
One login = one member = no fake IDs = not for illegal use (GEEtiquette)
“à charge” (I did) but even more “à décharge” (I did not)
Search for excellence
Empowering

Privacy by Design from the start (2014):
Safe login and membership
End to end encrypted cloud (sharing) - Geens members and G4B
Caravan = privacy by design blogging tool
Ecosystem: healthnomads, geepoll,...
Blockchain on top
GDPR: data owned by the users and full encryption = no “issue” 9

Blockchain
Hurry: will not be like web apps or websites
Token is key: reward for partnership = first class seats are limited
Actual models to ambitious?
A “bubble” ? Uber ? Dotcom 2 ? Let Europe fall asleep ?
Danger: no working implementations ?
Amazon ready to take the lead as the new “bank” ?

B->l->o->c->k->c->h->a->i->n
Disruptive technology
Coins, sharing, agreements
Trusted parties from the past (notables of the village)
Middleman:
Clear conditions (smart contracts - insurance)
Automated: Internet of Transactions = TCP/IP * TCP/IP

Blockchain - some issues
Compare with torrenting (everybody shares and checks) with reward on top
Still in startup phase - huge ambitions in ICO’s
No “right to be forgotten”
Actual encryption and algorithms: safe on the long run (privacy) ?
Now (only) successful for money (security - bitcoin) and time-stamping
to save = energy = no update possible
1 GB content on Bitcoin blockchain = cost is double digit Million USD 14

The login is the key to everything...
ID and authentication (now no encrypted passwords… a lot !!)
GET-in (opt in) <-> GET-out (opt out)
- Forbid me to buy alcohol, to enter a casino, ...
- Remind me my pill,...
Governments or Private sector?? USA, China or Europe??
Realise your weakness to be strong… SAP did it !
Log in with “geens” - encrypted wallets on the platform: a good way to go ?

Blockchain: Tool for a new ID ?
By definition: one ID everybody can “control” = missing element
Should be “European” - cross border ?
Combination of technologies?
Research in “multi-signatures” wallets
Still need for a trusted party
Interoperability between blockchains obstacle for extra-community operations

Geens.com approach to Self-sovereign ID
Member of EEMA.org (eldentity)
Combination of unique login (KYC), the encrypted cloud platform, (encrypted)
notifications from the platform (opt-in) and blockchain
Trusted party: the NPO is also non-gov (Ethical Committee)
GEE privacy token (bartering) (1 Euro = 1 GEE) will create value to the profiles
Open source development with option of trusted party in case of loss
A PERMANENT EXERCISE !!!
