# E4: SSI vs Federation, with Steve Wilson

Episode 4 of a podcast, listed elsewhere under the name Breaking Silos and dated March 2020, in which analyst Steve Wilson of Constellation Research argues that Australia's national identity framework has basic flaws and links them to why federated identity systems have failed elsewhere. Its relation to KERI is not stated in the listing found. Described from a search listing, not from the linked page.
