How Does Digital Identity Work?

The new digital identity technology is interoperable, meaning that it allows users to access and operate on multiple websites and applications with a single profile. It is a more convenient and user-controlled system that offers greater security for personal data.

For a long time, users have had to relinquish their personal data to platforms, applications, and web portals. They have allowed these entities to use their data, sometimes without full transparency, and have trusted them to manage it properly. In reality, there was no other option. To use an online store or social network, users had to register with the site and generate data from their browsing activity. Although theoretically, all this information belongs to the user, in practice, only the platform collecting it can use it.

The new digital identity technology allows users to take control of their data and browse more freely. Imagine being able to access any website or application without registering or having to fill out your information each time you visit a new site. This is the concept of online identity that is emerging today.

Digital identity encompasses almost everything we do and have on the internet. Until now, it has been fragmented into multiple profiles and distributed across databases of different companies. However, there is a group of new-generation technological proposals that meet certain key requirements. Two of the most important requirements are interoperability and user-controlled data.

How Digital Identity Works

If we consider these two basic characteristics, interoperability and user-controlled data, we can explain how digital identity technology works. To begin, if you create a profile with your identity, you can access two basic functionalities:

• Authentication on multiple websites, which allows you to access all these portals or applications with a single account. This is based on information that verifies your identity and ensures that you have authorization to access a particular site.

• Control of your data, which allows you to have all the information you want to share under your supervision. In this way, no website can use data about you without your authorization, and you will always know how and who is using your information.

In summary, digital identity technology offers a more secure, interoperable, and user-controlled system for managing personal data online. With this technology, users can access and operate on multiple sites and applications with greater convenience and ease while keeping their personal data safe and secure.
