Description

Digital identity is more than just a buzzword. As platforms and online transactions are skyrocketing, establishing, deploying, and managing digital identity becomes essential. With villains lurking and trust being a fragile good, services providers and operators want to get it right. Authentication, attribution, and signature are just a few functionalities where digital identity plays a key role. Facial recognition, fingerprinting and other unique identifiers are often used. This session addresses how some of the major industries deal with challenges and how legal systems struggle to create legal certainty and facilitate cross border solutions.
