As per reports, Digital Identity New Zealand Executive Director Colin Wallis confirms that the country’s digital trust framework is live, marking the first move toward safeguarding what has until now been an unregulated national digital identity industry.
The framework, the enabling legislation for which went into effect on July 1, is intended to give New Zealanders additional protection from scammers and phishers, and to make it easier for users to verify their identity with digital credentials housed on their smartphone in order to access services or prove their age.
