Nothing is as fundamental to human beings as identity. Our identity is, literally, who we are: a combination of personal history, innate and learnt beliefs and behaviours, and a bundle of cultural, family, national, team, gender or other identities. However we understand it, identity and who we are always matters. The combination of the Globally decentralised Secure Identity and the Verify Me service affords a unique opportunity for humanity to build a trusted existence within a digital world.

As more people, devices and associated personal data move into a digital world, there is growing focus on a foundational element of this new digital environment – our identities. The ability to prove who is real and who are fake, will increasingly determine our opportunities to establish trust with each other and to carry out meaningful interactions within a digital economy.

As digital services explode, and billions of elements in our everyday lives become connected to the a digital existence , individuals are losing control of how they are represented digitally in their interactions with institutions and anonymous parties. Others lack any digital identity at all, essentially excluding them from a digital world. The result is a challenge to the social contracts that govern the relationships between individuals in a digital world. The Verify Me, security protects individuals, from exposing their identity and data via unauthorized data sharing and potential human rights violations.

If we act wisely today, verifiable digital identities can help transform the future for billions of individuals, all over the world, enabling them to access new economic, political and social opportunities, while enjoying digital safety, privacy and other human rights.

Within a digital world, the advance of "Deep fakes" means that it is increasing impossible to verify any entity or object in a digital world...

The Verify Me service, provides a legally non-repudiable(1) proof, that a carbon based human is bound exclusively to a Secure Identity, without the need for any party to expose any privacy related information, or the need for any third party.

People can now participate in a digital world with the knowledge that the secure identities within Digital world are bound to Humans whcih they know and trust in the physical world today.

Notes

1. Non-repudiation in a court of law refers to the assurance that the document certainly came from the origin – e.g. it was not forged or corrupted in any way. Within the context of Identity it provides evidence that a court of law may consider in relationship to the binding between a Secure Identity and Human entity.
