Geneva, Zug, Switzerland – May 25, 2022 –
WISeKey International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”, SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ:
WKEY), a leading cybersecurity, IoT and AI company, today announced
the launch of its Trusted Identity Metaverse at Davos with a human
centric approach designed to ensure the potential of Web 3.0 in
improving the lives of everyone, not only as consumers but also as
humans. The objective of the WISeKey metaverse is to bring
together leaders and innovators in the global blockchain, Defi, NFT
and metaverse communities, content creators, social commentators,
entrepreneurs, and investment institutions to gain a deeper
understanding of where this technology is taking us and to help
chart a path forward.
WISeKey Metaverse showcased in Davos how
identity Avatars will allow us to navigate the metaverse using its
WISeID technology delegating our presence on the Metaverse to
authenticated versions of ourselves created via machine learning
that would navigate and do all sorts of transactions on our
behalf.
WISeID first generation acted as a trusted
identity service that enables access to the web and mobile
applications with strong authentication techniques. WISeID supports
online KYC onboarding, OTP and digital certificate login, and an
innovative “hands-free” secure login based on QR-Codes which users
can read using the WISeID suite of mobile applications without even
having to type any passwords.
Additional security services include digital
signature services for documents. WISeID implements standards such
as OpenID Connect and OAUTH2, that can be easily integrated by
customers to enhance the security of their cloud applications.
WISeID can also be combined with Microsoft Active Directory,
facilitating integration with corporate applications.
The WISeID second generation Digital Identities
in Metaverse includes an identification module that its built into
the protocol, while supplementary applications will be developed.
Users will have autonomy over their identity, meaning that they are
in full control of their personal identification information and
hence, need not to rely on any central entity or third party for
identity verification. With a truly NFT identity, users can create,
sign and verify claims, while parties who interact with a user will
be able to prove their identity. Additionally, users will be able
to selectively disclose their information.
Users can establish a reputation on Metaverse
through digital identities, improving the way we exchange value.
Value is exchanged through digital signatures, requests for
verification and transactions; these transactions then allow a user
to gradually build a reputation which can be inspected and verified
by other digital identities and value intermediaries. You can
download your ID from WISeID.com.
