Digital ID App Development

As more of our lives move online, there is a pressing need for more effective digital identity management tools. Anyone who's ever had their data or their personal accounts compromised knows firsthand that identity management isn't as easy as it should be.

Fortunately, new technologies have opened up new avenues for establishing secure, transparent digital credentials. Blockchain is the most prominent example of this — beyond their use in cryptocurrency, blockchain platforms such as Ethereum, Hyperledger and MultiChain have the potential to be game-changers in the way we control our online identities.

What Is a Digital Identity Ecosystem?

An identity ecosystem is a concept used by the government and other organizations to refer to the way identities are stored, validated and managed online. It is analogous to the financial ecosystem in that, no matter where you are, you can access your account across various platforms and systems. An effective identity ecosystem will have several characteristics:

01It will be secure and self-sovereign, meaning it is de-centralized and does not store data in a single location.

02The block is broadcasted to every party in the network.

03It will be fast and easy to use and cost-effective to maintain.

04Better digital identities mean less risk of fraud and identity theft. They provide peace of mind for both individuals and service providers. Best of all, they can reduce costs and compliance issues, prevent waste and make the online experience more comfortable and accessible for everyone.

Blockchain and Digital Identity

How does blockchain help make digital credentials safer? As a secure, decentralized platform, blockchain is ideal for storing identity credentials. We cover some of the technical aspects of how distributed ledgers work on our main Blockchain page — the primary takeaway is that, as a record of secure transactions, blockchain gives digital IDs a level of integrity users can trust.

While the technology is still in its nascent stages, many major businesses have seen the potential in blockchain-based digital credentials and are currently investing in app and program design that will permit wider adoption.

Creating a Custom ID App

Blockchain-based custom ID apps are ideal for financial services, higher education, insurance and other industries. A well-designed product will put effective identity management tools at users' fingertips, making it easy to securely access services online.
