In a recent blog, we discussed the impending arrival of digital identity wallets and speculated that this innovation could drive a significant increase in the adoption of high-trust digital signatures by enhancing their usability and their usefulness simultaneously.

Every new technology follows a predictable adoption curve. Innovators lead the charge, early adopters follow, and eventually, once a technology takes root, even the most reluctant users embrace the change. The pace of adoption varies, depending on prevailing social attitudes and the intrinsic usefulness and usability of the technology—telephones took nearly a century to become ubiquitous, televisions 30 years, and smartphones less than a decade.

In a digital economy, verifying the identity of businesses and organisations is critical. Enterprises, governments, and Trust Service Providers (TSPs) require robust mechanisms to establish trust, ensure compliance, and mitigate financial risks.

Trust Service Providers (TSPs) play a crucial role in developing the digital trust industry, but they face significant challenges. Their solutions need to be scalable and robust, while ensuring compliance with regulations in an industry that is constantly evolving.

As Governments worldwide are prioritising digital transformation to enhance efficiency, security, and transparency, they face increasing demands for efficiency, security, and transparency, public service entities face the dual challenge of streamlining workflows and maintaining trust.

Governments and organisations around the world are under pressure to enhance efficiency, reduce costs and meet increasingly stringent compliance standards.
