TRUSTECH Asks: What Digital Identity Future Do We Want?

The forthcoming TRUSTECH conference at Paris Expo – Porte de Versailles (29 November - 1 December) will focus on two main themes – identification solutions and innovative payments, which together go a long way to address the question of what digital identity future do we want – and what will we actually get?

TRUSTECH is the international event dedicated to innovative payments and identification solutions. The event was first held over thirty years ago under the name ‘CARTES Secure Connexions’ to promote the new-born technology of smartcards. In 2016, it was re-named TRUSTECH to better reflect the way the industry was evolving towards trust-based technologies.

‘After being increasingly formatted around data, as a consequence of the Open Banking movement, and further digitisation through the revolution of mobile wallets, the prospect of future retail digital currencies from central banks leads us to consider the possible paths of an all-digital identity future’, it states.
