WISe.Social network allows WISeID users
to share information on a newsfeed-style social platform using
strong user identification
ZUG, Switzerland – February 23,
2021 – WISeKey (NASDAQ: WKEY; SIX Swiss Exchange: WIHN,
NASDAQ: WKEY), a leading cybersecurity, AI and IoT company, today
announced that its WISe.Social, a new authenticated
social-networking site, allows users with a WISeID digital identity
to share links and discuss articles through a newsfeed
platform. The new social network will not use advertising or
collect data from users. It is designed for people and
organizations wishing to share data among their ecosystems without
the concern of algorithms tracing them and their data.
WISe.Social is based on WISeID, WISeKey’s
platform for personal identity and security services based on
digital certificates and other innovative technologies, with a
strong focus on Trust. WISeKey defines digital trust as the
confidence users have in a social media platform to protect their
information and provide a safe environment for them to create and
engage with content. With the identity verification services of
WISeID, users can now securely exchange information with partners
based on their identity validation level. WISeID enables three
levels of identity validation: “Basic,” where only the email is
validated, “Validated,” where the full name is confirmed against an
identity document, and “Validated Pro,” where also the professional
details are validated. WISeKey offers free of cost “Basic” accounts
and the availability to upgrade the account with different pricing
models.
The objective of WISe.Social is to integrate
identity management and cybersecurity features on a social network
platform to effectively control fake information originated by
unverified accounts. To that effect, WISeKey developed a new
paradigm for social networks embedded with digital identity
technology, which employs decentralized processes to create trusted
networks and secured ways to exchange information between users
through a better mechanism designed for trusted social
networks.
The new features of WISeID integrated with
WISe.Social offer access to the web and mobile applications with
strong authentication techniques. WISeID supports OTP and digital
certificate login and an innovative “hands-free” secure login based
on QR-Codes, which users can read using the “My WISeID” mobile
application without even having to type any password. WISeID
implements standards such as OpenID Connect and OAUTH2, which can
be easily integrated by customers to enhance their cloud
applications’ security. WISeID can also be combined with Microsoft
Active Directory, facilitating integration with corporate
applications.
WISeID is based on the WISeKey/OISTE Root of
Trust and integrates innovative technologies to distribute the
identity attributes and build federated ecosystems. WISeID is
accessible as a web service via the wiseid.com trust services
portal and enterprise standard APIs that allow integration with
business applications. WISeID provides users with a Digital
Identity that can be used to secure email communication and
digitally sign documents with legal validity. It is complemented
with features such as dual-factor authentication and single
sign-on. The WISeID web services and mobile applications are
available for download and use. Several offers, such as digital
certificates to secure the email or the strong authentication
capabilities, are available free of charge, while others require a
business subscription in order to get full access to validated
identities and document signature capabilities. You can register
