DIGITAL IDENTITY FOR SMEs
Case studies: ITSME, Alastria, Thales and The Global Tech Players.

Digital identity: we can't really have digital money without digital identities, an issue finally being worked through at high level by the United Nations and regional bodies. Alastria leads the way on decentralised identity.

Take Aways:

• Digital identity projects will continue to be led by nation states
• Governments are now thinking of how to digitalise identity for small businesses along with citizens
• The early success and adoption of decentralised identity alliances led by bank/telco partnerships should be closely followed
• Blockchain finds a role in securing digital identity
• There is a deep conflict brewing between alliance-led models and privately-led models such as the US model
