The UK government is urged to advance its digital wallet strategy and ensure clear guidance on cross-sector digital ID integration, according to the Open Identity Exchange (OIX). They advocate for leveraging the Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF) to enhance the UK’s digital identity infrastructure, which could significantly boost GDP and streamline business processes.
OIX suggests the government should support the creation of digital credentials for various uses, ensure interoperability with the EU’s digital ID systems, and extend digital ID integration across both public and private sectors. Quick implementation and alignment with international standards are essential for fostering global trade and enhancing digital trust.
