Digital Credentials
Many governments and private service organizations are looking for ways to implement innovative digital services platforms that can improve the customer experience and allow citizens to own and manage their credentials and accreditations.
These systems can also represent other experiences and areas of our lives, such as professional reputations. Security, privacy, and data protection concerns are paramount and need to be embedded into the architecture of the system using principles such as privacy by design and technologies that can guarantee integrity, authenticity, and transparency of citizens’ records.
Credentials Represent Our Life Experiences
Digital Licences
The world is changing towards digital representations of many documents and accreditations, including digital licenses. One example is a driver’s license, one of the most used identity documents, and is widely accepted to prove citizen identity.
Digital credentials can be configured to mimic the key aspects of traditional, physical documents. At the same time, TrustGrid™ allows citizens to choose how their credentials are presented to third parties while maintaining full confidentiality of their private information.
