The Internet, Safer!
TheTrusted Identity Network was conceived in 2007 by Tom (Treyeshua) Tomeny. He has presented it's fundamentals several times in Silicon Valley at the Internet Identity Workshop. The consensus early on was that current technology was not ready to support the computing and bandwidth overhead of the TrustedNet on top of the existing internet. Now, in the 2020's we have the technology to make all of this come to pass!
The fundamental concept of the Trusted Identity Network is that it is unsafe to access any internet site indepedently, since they can and do steal your personal information. Instead, all access is through a VPN connecting you with a Trusted Identity Provider. The TIP conceals your private information, and only provisions it as necessary to third parties. The TIP's collectively administer the entire Trusted Identity Network as they compete for to be your Trusted Identity Provider.
Your TIP is in a unique position to provide you with a myriad of services. Things like single sign on, educational services, and banking services. The TIPs will become some of the most profitable enterprises in the world. A requirement for TIPs is that they be owned and operated by a Trusted Person. Becoming a Trusted Person is a matter of developing widely renowned personal integrity. TIPs will compete to be the most trusted, thereby helping to create a worldwide culture and sociality based upon trust.
