THE ROLE OF DIGITAL IDENTITY IN THE CONNECTED ECONOMY
CHAPTER 1.
Within developed and emerging economies, individuals use the Internet as the main communication engine between themselves, as well as between themselves and other organizations or governments.
This enables digital identity to be a strategic opportunity for the public and private sector across the globe.
The current fragmentation in the market has generated issues for citizens and consumers, as they struggled to manage multiple digital identities.
For enterprises, digital identity in the connected economy means better customer service, deeper consumer insights and understanding, personalized service and product delivery or targeted marketing.
At the basis of digital identity, privacy and security stand in the way of mass adoption.
THE BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE

Currently, identity providers span across several services:
• National ID card or Passport
• Banking credentials
• Health card
• E-Commerce identities
• Social network accounts
• Email account (private and
corporate)
Identification / Registration: the process that allows an entity
to obtain a digital identity;
Authentication: the verification process of the identity’s
attributes;
Authorization: the process that allows an entity to use the
digital identity in electronic transactions.
A Digital Identity holds three main components:
Bank credentials are one of the most known and trusted digital identities today.
Even though a bank identity is limited, allowing access only to financial accounts, it has the potential to grow and serve more use cases and industries.
Digital Identity has been identified as a potential game changer in all major sectors.
Each of them will face different challenges in implementing and drawing value from online identities and services in the following years.
