Digital Identity and its Importance
Digital identity refers to how we represent ourselves in the online space. It encompasses identifiers and attributes that define who we are in digital platforms. The management and design of digital identities play a crucial role in different systems. Open standards for digital identity have been developed to ensure that individuals have ownership and control over their digital representations.
