Protect privacy and build trust in digital transactions

An e-wallet holds the digital equivalent of all the paper and plastic cards we carry around in our physical wallets: proof of age, airline tickets; retail vouchers and so on. Most people would not leave their house without their smart phone, making it the perfect home for their e-wallets. With DXC, virtual e-wallets also can be hosted in the cloud. 

Our Distributed Identity Framework provides a platform that uses a blockchain to hold a cryptographic record of a credential that was issued or validated by a trusted party — such as a digital driver’s license issued by the government. Importantly, an individual’s personal data is not held on the block chain — only an immutable record that the credential or attribute was validated by the trusted issuer. Personal data remains in the user’s e-wallet, protected with strong cryptography and their biometrics.

Whether in the physical or digital world, you decide when and with whom to share the verified credentials and attributes you store in your e-wallet. Your privacy is protected and your journey through interactions, such as sharing a proof of entitlement with multiple parties at one shot, is accelerated. So, too, is filling out forms — whether online or in a physical location — that require a trusted delivery address, or presenting your status to a local agency as a veteran or person with a disability who qualifies for discounted services.

Onboard digital or remote employees with speed and confidence with DXC Decentralized Identity proofing. New employees just hold up a photo ID to a web camera to have the contents captured and validated. Match the captured document photograph against the live-capture facial image of the new hire to validate that the individual is, in fact, the one you hired. You can also ensure that digital forms completed — such as those that specify the individual's compliance with local right to work legislation — are verified.  

Digital ID proofing is equally effective for identifying a “known” customer or supplier, or for use in any situation where someone has to present an ID card in the physical world or fill out a form online that can be verified. DXC supports thousands of document types from around the world for integration with identity platforms to product high-assurance identity governance and access management.
