Establishing a Trusted Identity in Cyberspace

The digitalization of the world economy has created demand for privacy enhancing identity solutions that support civil liberties and improve security. Running parallel to the need for trusted identities in cyberspace is the need for identities to be interoperable so that individuals can manage multiple credentials and choose which to use for a particular transaction or activity. The demand to establish a more secure identity ecosystem requires solutions to be user friendly and convenient including equitable access to the tools that establish this online identity credential for everyone, not only the affluent.
