Digital identities promise to transform our lived experiences both online and in the real world, yet trust has remained elusive. The building blocks for truly trusted digital identity are all here now. Passkeys are eliminating passwords and phishing. Verifiable Digital Credentials are enabling portable, privacy-preserving identity proofs. The Digital Credentials API and modern wallets are creating the connective tissue that allows these technologies to work together.
To unlock the full potential of this ecosystem, we need to bring this all together in a pragmatic manner. We need interoperability to be prioritized and incentivized, clear guidance on how to implement these technologies with security and privacy in mind, and frameworks that respect the individual’s rights while ensuring global accessibility.
Join Nishant Kaushik, CTO, FIDO Alliance, as he explores how these pieces can come together to create an ecosystem where every participant can operate with confidence. We’re so close to a future where digital identity isn’t just convenient, but trusted by all.
