TODAQ to collaborate with Digital Identity Lab to establish a ADOT technology Sandbox for verified relationship identity and credentials
(2 min read)
TODAQ has been undergoing the process of collaboration with Canada’s Digital Identity Lab, which provides a neutral sandbox for TODAQ to support the ecosystem in Canada and globally. The Digital Identity Lab is a not-for-profit working to standardize the Pan-Canadian Trust Framework across the nation and to see it reflected across the globe. The legislation aims to protect the personal information and privacy of individuals whose digital identity is used.
The Lab provides a place for digital identity solutions to be independently verified and tested by a neutral trusted entity without being controlled by either the public or the private sector. It is designed to provide evaluation, testing and certification services against standards and norms considered useful and valid by the market without being controlled by it.
In collaboration with the Digital Identity Lab, TODAQ intends to become a sandbox sponsor to make TODA and ADOT enabled digital identity tools available for third party evaluation, testing and integration into their identity solutions. We believe our shared values with the Lab of putting privacy and security by design and personal identity ownership first will make this a successful collaborative initiative.
The sandbox will provide the ability for Digital Identity Lab subscribers and members to self-service test use of the TODA-ADOT technology to power identity solutions. The Lab’s open and neutral ‘mall of solutions’ also provides companies, the public sector and engineers a safe place to later evaluate, test, and have their solutions certified to national standards by an objective third party.
We look forward to working with the Digital Identity Lab team over this quarter to get the first sandbox in place. TODAQ intends to focus first on solving known identity problems around securely and efficient authenticating verified relationships. When done properly we can collectively remove many risks facing digital identity.
