In February 2021, the UK government unveiled a policy paper on a trust framework for digital identity. Aimed at building trust between transacting parties, be it individuals or enterprises, the UK Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework details the principles, policies, and standards that must be followed by organizations providing or using digital identity services. Establishing trust and transparency between transacting parties is critical to the growth and evolution of the digital economy. The proposed framework expects to streamline the fragmented and proprietary digital identity verification landscape into a foundational digital identity infrastructure, promoting interoperability between service providers and letting people confidently identify themselves. |
