There is a need to expand the range of verification methods to be more inclusive. The current approaches to verification do not adequately address privacy concerns. We are continually exploring ways to address the digital divide while also prioritizing privacy. Here is a short introduction to identity verification methods. Additionally, read through Inji to gain insight into contemporary approaches to identity verification through the use of verifiable credentials for decentralized verification.

What can eSignet be used for?

• eSignet is a reliable login provider for a relying party application that allows access to the service without the need for additional login credentials.

• eSignet also offers a secure method for verifying an individual's identity against trusted identity providers such as national identity databases, driver's license systems, passport systems, or other reputable sources. The level of assurance is determined by the authentication factor utilized, with biometric authentication providing an added layer of user presence confirmation.

• Additionally, eSignet facilitates consented data sharing for the purpose of profile creation or meeting electronic Know Your Customer (eKYC) requirements for relying parties. When a relying party requests authentication, they can also request a specific set of attributes needed for profile creation or compliance with eKYC norms. The user's requested information is shared only after they have provided consent during the eSignet login process.
