Chennai: Thales has launched its new Gemalto Digital ID Wallet that would enable users to access a digital version of their official documents including identity cards, health cards and drivers licenses on their smartphones.
A release from the firm says the solution uses multi-layered security techniques and sophisticated encryption to achieve robust protection of personal data, whilst offering users complete control over what information they choose to share, with whom, and when.
The new wallet will enable citizens to keep all their vital credentials in a single, convenient and secure location, said the release.
“Governments and citizens worldwide are fast-recognising the multi-dimensional benefits delivered by digitalisation of official documents, as a companion to physical documents. The Digital ID Wallet creates a future-proof, citizen-centric ecosystem in which this identity revolution can flourish, meeting the needs of verification and authentication across the physical and online worlds, and leveraging the one item we are most likely to keep within easy reach – our smartphone,” SVP – Identity and biometric solutions, Thales, Frederic Trojani.
