Federal agencies have a hard enough time already trying to develop a strong digital identity system. These systems often sit at the nexus of security, risk-based management, and user experience. Ryan Galluzzo, the digital identity lead for the Applied Cybersecurity Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST),...
NIST's work is vital. We all know that. The requirement to safeguard sensitive data while ensuring it remains accessible is critical, particularly with the constant wave of cyberattacks. Here's the question that keeps me up at night: Is this balance truly achievable? Are we, in pursuit of a marginally improved...
Is NIST’s new guidance on identity security truly forging the path toward a more secure digital future? Or is it simply another episode of tech buzzword bingo doomed to sink straight to the bottom? As someone who's spent years navigating the exciting, and sometimes treacherous, waters of DeFi and NFTs,...
Healthcare identity theft. Just hearing the name makes me cringe. It’s not just the financial aspect — it’s your life, your medical information, your life blood being commandeered.

Now, picture having that happen, as you awaken, with no electricity. Not in a brief temporary outage, but in a long-extended blackout paralyzing hospitals, blocking transportation, and predisposing communities to disasters. This is not some dystopian fantasy, it’s a present danger. Our increasing dependence on decentralized, physical infrastructure networks, or...
The dirty little secret about DePINs though? They’re sitting ducks. All that new decentralized infrastructure, humming away, is ripe for attack as anyone can spoof an admin account and cause chaos. We’re not talking about just theoretical doomsday scenarios – but real-world consequences like compromised energy grids, hijacked sensor networks...
Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINs) are changing the way we think about managing physical infrastructure by combining blockchain technology with decentralized, web-enabled IoT devices. These networks are decentralized and dependent on a web of connected IoT devices. Yet they have unique challenges in securing these qualities of security and accountability....
Hello blockchain and crypto enthusiasts! Jason back again, bringing you even more dank insights from Calloutcoin.com. Today, we're diving deep into a critical area for the future of decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs): security.
