WISeKey plans new digital identify platform, SeyiD

A new Digital Identity platform, “SeyID,” will be delivered by WISeKey International Holding Ltd.

(“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY) is a holding company that operates as a cybersecurity, digital identity, and Internet of Things (IoT) innovator to the Government of Seychelles.

SeyID will be integrated with various national programmes focusing on eHealth, eTourism, and eGovernment.

Significant advancements in secure access and identity verification have occurred since the SeyID project, which is based on WISeKey’s WISeID platform for digital identity and online security, was successfully launched. When granting access to online and mobile apps, WISeID, a reliable identity provider, uses robust authentication methods.

WISeKey SeyID Platform benefits

WISeID enables efficient online Know Your Customer (KYC) onboarding, an innovative “hands-free” secure login using QR codes, and one-time password (OTP) authentication. With the SeyID mobile app, users can quickly gain secure access without passwords.

To round out their approach to internet security, WISeID also provides digital signature services for documents. Using state-of-the-art blockchain technology, WISeID strengthens the security infrastructure by distributing identity attributes and building federated ecosystems. It is built upon the WISeKey Root of Trust.

The SeyID Platform has undergone further development and now incorporates an e-wallet, allowing users to store their national ID and driver’s licence safely. This feature does away with the necessity to carry these documents physically.

The app creates an electronic ID with a QR code for safe third-party authentication (for things like opening a bank account or dealing with law enforcement). The dedication of SeyID to offering a safe, effective, and technologically sophisticated solution for digital identification and transactions is highlighted by this comprehensive strategy.

With the next upgrade to WISeKey set to launch in the middle of 2024, a “Document Wallet” will be added. This will enable the government to send citizens digital documents securely. When added to SeyID’s current document signing feature, this will significantly reduce the country’s reliance on paper documents.
