We have compiled here 4 of the most frequent questions about digital identity, and we have given them answers.
- What is Digital ID?
The concept is very abstract, it refers to all the data that we are generating through the actions we carry out on the internet: records, comments, interactions, … We could associate it with our electronic fingerprint. However, we cannot understand what digital identity is without understanding its management.
Electronic ID management is a dynamic authentication technology designed for businesses that transact online. Unlike authentication based on static credentials. It’s now much more than a way to authenticate someone to access a resource. Digital identity management has matured into a more holistic and consumer-led model, driven by privacy, cybersecurity pressures and greater functional needs. The concept refers to identifying users with a network, application or system and controlling their access to resources within those systems and applications.
- How Digital ID management works?
The management is based ensuring that only authenticated personnel are authorized with access to privilege defined information and online company data. Identity management is responsible for receiving access information, sorting access information into various access groups, determining user roles and providing access accordingly.
The process of identification is the fact of knowing the identity of a user based on a set of data that is retrieved from it, Associating the data set with a person is the identification process, which until now had to be done in person, It means that Digital Identity Management only lets authenticated personnel to send access requests to IAM, which authorizes access to company data.
