Siloed Identities This is a legacy system where identities are scattered across various companies. The drawbacks are clear: users juggle multiple credentials, and companies bear the high cost of managing data infrastructures. Plus, the centralized approach to data management leads to significant security vulnerabilities. Siloed Identities. In this archaic model, each company holds a separate fragment of the user's identity. This fragmentation leads to a cumbersome experience for users, who must remember a plethora of usernames and passwords, a true hassle in our digital world. Companies aren't spared either; they face the daunting task of maintaining secure, yet costly data infrastructures. Centralized data storage compounds the problem, posing a high risk of catastrophic data breaches.

Federated Identities This was an improvement, offering a more connected experience. However, user control remained limited, and companies often exploited user data without clear incentives to protect it. The reliance on central databases continued to be a security concern, and the scope for users to selectively disclose their information was minimal. As we evolved into Federated Identities, we began to see identities linked across services, offering a glimmer of integration. But this system is far from perfect. Users still lack substantial control, and the user experience is dictated by corporate strategies focused on maximizing data extraction rather than protecting user privacy. Moreover, these federated systems create large honey pots of data, enticing targets for malicious actors, which further amplifies security concerns.

Decentralized Identities

Here at Togggle, we're enabling a paradigm where users exercise full control over their identity. The need for corporate access to user data now requires explicit user authorization. Our decentralized approach to data storage minimizes security risks and corporate liabilities. Moreover, it supports full selective disclosure, empowering users like never before. Decentralized identities shift the paradigm from large, vulnerable data caches to distributed data nodes, each securely encrypted and autonomously controlled. This reduces the risk of mass data breaches and places the power of selective disclosure firmly in your hands. With Togggle, you’re not just a user; you’re an individual with a fortified, self-sovereign identity.
