In a recent webinar Trinsic co-founder and Chief Product Officer Michael Boyd explored the growing importance of digital IDs and how the Trinsic platform is shaping the future of identity verification. Here’s a summary of the key insights from the session:
Introduction to Trinsic and the Digital ID Landscape
Trinsic is revolutionizing how businesses verify user identities by offering solutions that leverage the growing number of digital IDs around the world. With over 2.5 billion digital IDs in use globally today, Trinsic’s platform allows businesses to accept digital IDs faster, reducing verification times and streamlining the onboarding process for users.
The Need for Digital ID Verification
Michael highlighted the increasing threat of online fraud and the challenge of ensuring security without creating friction for users. Trinsic addresses these concerns by providing APIs for reusable identity credentials. With the rise of mobile driver’s licenses and other government-issued digital IDs, Trinsic is positioning itself to help businesses verify these digital identities easily and securely.
Regional Adoption of Digital IDs
The webinar emphasized the fragmented nature of the digital ID ecosystem, with different regions adopting various digital ID schemes. Some key highlights include:
- North America: Leading with the adoption of mobile driver’s licenses, driven by government and private initiatives.
- Europe: The eIDAS regulation and country-specific systems like Italy’s SPID.
- Asia: High adoption rates, particularly driven by India’s Aadhaar system.
- Global Reach: Trinsic’s platform is already well-established in North America and Europe, with expansion plans for Southeast Asia, Australia, and Latin America.
Trinsic’s Approach to Digital ID Verification
Trinsic simplifies the process of accepting digital IDs by aggregating different identity schemes into one network. This allows businesses to integrate Trinsic’s SDK and access multiple ID schemes through a single API, ensuring global coverage. The platform checks whether users already have verified IDs, reducing the need for repeated identity checks and improving user experience.
Key Benefits for Businesses
- Improved User Experience: By allowing users to bring their own verified digital IDs, businesses can improve onboarding flow and boost conversion rates.
- Fraud Prevention: Cryptographically secured digital IDs reduce the risk of fraud compared to traditional physical ID checks, especially in an era where AI-powered fraud is on the rise.
- Future-Ready: With global digital ID adoption increasing, Trinsic’s one-integration solution ensures businesses stay ahead of the curve, ready to support new schemes as they become available.
The Future of Digital IDs
Michael showcased the technical capabilities of Trinsic’s platform, including the ability to verify users with existing digital IDs through an iframe, pop-up, or redirect flow. The company is also exploring biometric authentication and liveness checks as add-ons for businesses requiring higher levels of assurance.
Conclusion and Q&A
The webinar ended with a Q&A session where attendees discussed Trinsic’s integration capabilities, pricing, and potential for expanding into government-driven identity verification methods. Trinsic continues to focus on simplifying identity verification workflows, making it easier for businesses to adopt digital IDs and ensuring compliance with global standards.
