Frequently Asked Questions
How is reusable digital identity different from one-time verification?
One-time verification proves identity for a single service event; reusable identity lets the user present a previously verified identity or attribute to other services.
What technologies support reusable identity?
Mobile wallets, verifiable credentials, reusable KYC platforms, identity provider networks, and trust frameworks can all support reusable identity.
What are the benefits and risks?
Benefits include less friction and fewer repeated document checks. Risks include over-collection, correlation across services, governance failures, and weak revocation.
