How often should you doubt?

If the person or organization, you encounter on the net is the one she/he/it claims to be?

If the person – once recognized - has the right to act on behalf of an organization or another person?

If a certificate, statement, permission, power of attorney the person or a robot present is real and still valid?

If your own data can be sent to a service without privacy risks?

If the AI-agent approaching you - or your AI-agent -  is legitimate? 

The solution is there. Depicted as a bicycle made for two https://www.linkedin.com/posts/bo-harald-4768b51_the-front-wheel-is-your-personal-identity-activity-7297897338537181184-yYuY?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAABPj1oB9_D7YNYACmHvY9HioUqpuULqZCo

when you  yourself have a need to act on behalf of your employer (based on Bosch/Finnish Tax/Findy/EWC test for opening a bank account from Germany in Finland). Generic steps:

1. You ask for (i) an identification credential to your ID-wallet (in the Nordics the banks - soon also issued by EU member states) and (ii) a power to act credential for matter in question from your employer’s wallet.
2. You present them to your bank’s, supplier’s, customer’s, public sector organization’s etc wallet.
3. The receiving organization asks the issuers’ wallets (bank, state, trade registry, your employer) if the credential is still valid
4. Then you can sign the contract with your wallet.

Easy as that.. And you should for sure adopt the wallets soonest - as the reason to doubt is growing exponentially.
