Digital Smart Card -- or Digital ID -- platform serving the Government and Identification marketplace, will be introduced at the connect:ID Expo in Washington, D.C. on March 11 and 12, 2020.  DSS will demonstrate its next-generation identity solution and highlight how disruptive technology and policy decisions are driving much-needed change. According to Biometric Update the Digital ID marketplace is expected to reach $15 billion by 2025.

We continue to listen to our customers and strive to bring innovative solutions to the marketplace.
