Relying Party

In the context of eSignet, a Relying Party refers to any external service provider or application that integrates with the eSignet platform to leverage its secure identity authentication and verification capabilities. By relying on eSignet as a trusted Identity Provider (IdP), these service providers can streamline user onboarding and access management, while maintaining a high level of security, privacy, and regulatory compliance.

eSignet enables Relying Parties to authenticate users based on verified identity data, including biometric authentication and government-issued credentials, without the need to build or manage their own identity infrastructure. This allows service providers to focus on delivering their core services while ensuring that only legitimate users can gain access.

Whether it's a financial institution verifying customer identity for KYC compliance, a healthcare provider granting access to medical records, or a digital service requiring strong authentication, eSignet serves as the central identity authority that these services trust.
