Show Notes

This episode, we define Single sign-on (SSO) solutions for identity management, and we’re thrilled to get some help from a very special guest. Dr. Geoffrey Goodell is a senior research associate in the financial computing and analytics group at the department of computer science at University College London. Furthermore, Dr. Goodell is the lead researcher at the Peer Social Foundation, our non-profit partner focused on education, research and open-source initiatives aimed at decentralizing identity and access for people, business and government.
