The UK Government’s 'Digital Identity Sectoral Analysis 2025' shows both progress and hurdles in digital identity adoption. Despite 44% having used a digital ID before and 75% citing faster use, privacy, accessibility, and interoperability still hinder broader uptake.
Why it matters:
These challenges are global. With fraud, AI-driven attacks, and deepfake scams rising, governments and businesses must strengthen digital trust. To stay ahead, organizations need to embrace new approaches like government-backedelectronic IDs (eIDs) as a foundation for identity verification and onboarding.
Hopae has partnered with INCERT GIE, Luxembourg’s public trust infrastructure agency, to make Hopae Connect the first officially registered Intermediary Service under the EU’s eIDAS 2.0 regulation. This strategic alliance delivers sovereign-grade compliance infrastructure for the upcoming European Digital Identity Wallet, enabling secure, seamless adoption across industries by 2027.
Matteo Frigo and Abhi Shelat from Google are leading researchers in cryptography, with deep expertise spanning algorithms, cloud infrastructure and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs).
In this interview, they shared how ZKPs are evolving from theory into real-world deployments, making digital identity systems both privacy-preserving and practical.
The U.S. NIST has issued its first full update to the Digital Identity Guidelines (SP 800-63-4) since 2017. The new framework adds support for digital wallets and passkeys, strengthens defenses against deepfakes and injection attacks, and emphasizes alternatives to face biometrics while clarifying identity assurance requirements.
Why it matters:
The update, shaped by years of input, sets a new global benchmark for digital identity. By tackling AI-driven fraud and modernizing authentication, NIST raises the standard for secure, inclusive, and future-ready identity verification worldwide.
Poland’s Ministry of Digital Affairs is launching a new EU‑funded campaign to accelerate growth of the mObywatel app. The platform allows citizens to securely access government services and recently surpassed 10 million users. With this new promotion, Poland aims to accelerate digital transformation, improve convenience for citizens, and strengthen trust in online interactions.
On August 20th, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced a new feature on Login.gov — a secure sign-in service for U.S. government websites — allowing users to verify their identity with U.S. passports. The update aims to expand accessibility, strengthen trust in government services and reduce reliance on in-person verification.
Canada’s national standards body has approved a new code of practice, CAN/DGSI 103-0:2025, to guide public and private sector organizations in implementing digital ID programs. Based on the Pan-Canadian Trust Framework and aligned with global standards like eIDAS 2.0, the standard sets out processes and criteria for building secure, interoperable, and trustworthy digital identity systems.
Financial institutions in the UK will soon be able to use trusted digital IDs for Anti-Money Laundering checks under new Money Laundering Regulations. Backed by strong support in public consultation, the move is expected to streamline compliance, strengthen fraud prevention, boost trust and efficiency in financial services and unlock billions in projected economic savings.
This event explores how digital identity can reduce fraud, strengthen compliance, and build customer trust in financial services. Bringing together 600+ attendees from banks, credit unions, fintechs, technology providers, and regulators, Future Identity Finance is the hub for innovation at the intersection of identity and finance.
