One of the main roadblocks when it comes to accessing new
services online is digital ID verification; it’s risky, challenging
and sometimes just impossible. SecureKey is on a mission to change
this, and they’re going about it in a unique way.
“Rather than trying to construct trust out of nothing…let’s build
on the success of what consumers already understand and what’s
already common business practice, but adapt it so it works better
online…” says Andre Boysen, who is the CIO of SecureKey.
SecureKey allows consumers to use the providers they already trust,
such as banks, telephone companies and governments, to privately
enter only the most pertinent identity information, prove their
trusted identity online and gain access to new digital
services.
There are plenty of benefits for businesses too. According to
Boysen, a business wants three things: to receive data from
authoritative sources, to know that data has not been altered since
it was written by those authoritative sources, and to know that
data is being presented by the person it belongs to.
SecureKey promises to address these needs while increasing business
integrity and decreasing the risk of data breaches by providing
less data that’s more trustworthy. Seven of the largest banks and
all of the major cell phone providers in Canada are already
connected to the SecureKey network.
