Special Report: Government-Issued Digital Identity - Implementations in the US, UK, and Europe
Digital identity programs are transforming how citizens prove who they are both online and in person. In a recent commentary in The Times, Tony Blair emphasized that embracing technology—including digital identity and face recognition—provides governments with the tools to modernize public services while countering populism and enhancing crime prevention. Governments in the United States, United Kingdom, and across Europe are now rolling out centralized digital identity cards and systems that leverage advanced verification technologies. These systems aim to enhance security, prevent fraud, and streamline access to services while empowering citizens with robust, government-issued credentials.
