As #DigitalIdentity ecosystems scale globally, having strong, independent, and internationally recognized conformance test programs for #Standards is essential for #interoperability and #trust across jurisdictions and implementations.

I do believe we will get to the point where e-voting becomes practical and reliable. That said...key management be hard!

If you're in the NYC area, and like talking about moving from #MFA to #StrongAuthentication, the #DigitalCredentials and #DigitalWallets revolution, #passkeys, or the acronym soup in #DigitalIdentity, you might be an #IDPro.
And you need to be at todays #Identibeer.

A couple of weeks ago, at the Better Identity Coalition + FIDO Alliance + Identity Theft Resource Center - Nonprofit hosted “Identity, Authentication and the Road Ahead 2026” policy forum, the Chief Privacy Officer for the State of Utah gave a talk about #SEDI, and it's potential for the #DigitalIdentity and #Privacy ecosystem. It's worth digging into.

Bad actors are creating browser extensions that claim to be ChatGPT productivity tools, but that steal your account credentials and hijack sessions instead.
While researchers can find and warn us about these malicious extensions, it’s important to recognize that we’re about to enter an era where this kind of behavior is actually relied on by good actors (read: agents) as well. It’s imperative that we work on developing alternatives to this.

Windows 11 recently improved its passkey experience, part of a broader pattern worth paying attention to. We've been working hard within the FIDO Alliance to remove friction around passkeys, since improving usability is one of the most important drivers to boosting passwordless adoption in both the consumer and enterprise worlds. Moves like these help passkeys become just as operationally viable as they are technically sound.

There’s also a benefit to this architectural pattern that people miss at first glance that enables passkeys to really scale in real-world environments. Check out my blog to learn more.

The FIDO Alliance has launched a new Digital Credentials Initiative, expanding on its mission to help create a future where #DigitalIdentity wallets and #VerifiableCredentials are as seamless, trusted, and interoperable as #passkeys are becoming.

Government-issued verifiable digital credentials (mDLs, digital passports, etc) have the potential to transform our online (and even IRL) experiences dramatically, and for the better. But with any such technology, their power and ease-of-use also runs the risk of being used in ways that aren't optimal, intended, or even appropriate. That's why I love that the Better Identity Coalition is working on a voluntary Code of Conduct for verifiable digital credentials aimed at preventing overuse. They're looking for feedback and comments, so please take a look and help shape the VDC ecosystem.

A New Approach to Address Concerns About Overuse of Digital IDs

The Better Identity Coalition has released an initial straw man of a “voluntary code of conduct” for the digital identity ecosystem to restrict inappropriate or overly invasive requests for identity information from verifiable digital credentials.
