What Happens to your Digital Assets, and all your Passwords, When You Die?

When you die, what will happen to your digital assets? Importantly, what will happen to your passwords and online accounts? Some of these need to be handed over to work colleagues. Some of these need to be handed over to spouses and children. Some may be needed to be handed over to your estate attorneys. And some maybe just die with you.

There are many complex issues regarding data privacy, disclosure, data privacy, rights management and the crypto and business systems that need to align underneath.

The day after the Internet Identity Workshop, Phil Windley is hosting “Digital Death Day”, a workshop that is going to examine these questions, and discuss proposed solutions and technical and legal hurdles.

    Actually Digital Death Day is being hosted by Kaliya Hamlin. I happen to co-produce IIW with Phil which precedes Digital Death Day.
