OIX wants a global standard for digital identity data to underpin interoperability

While digital IDs are becoming increasingly popular, data standards for digital identities and credentials are still inconsistent, and sometimes non-existent. The non-profit argues in its research, titled “Data Standards for Digital ID Interoperability,” that achieving global interoperability across different jurisdictions and ecosystems is a major challenge. Its suggestions include creating a single-protocol independent data standard called the Global Protocol Independent Data Standard. In July, OIX also called on digital ID service providers to improve identity proofing by integrating mobile telecommunications data.
