Building Trust in Digital Government with Verifiable Credentials
As governments modernize their digital services, they face growing challenges around trust, security, and citizen experience. Traditional identity and credential verification processes are often slow, costly, and vulnerable to fraud. Verifiable Credentials offer a new way forward—delivering secure, trusted connections that empower citizens while streamlining government operations.
Join Government Technology and Portage CyberTech for a live webinar to explore how governments can issue, manage, and verify digital credentials at scale, creating trusted interactions between agencies, citizens, and third parties. Attendees will gain practical insight into how this technology enhances efficiency, protects privacy, and fosters interoperability across jurisdictions.
Key topics we’ll cover include:
- Verifiable Credentials 101: What they are and why they matter for governments.
- Citizen-Centric Control: How citizens can store, manage, and selectively share their credentials with confidence.
- Cross-Government Interoperability: How verifiable credentials enable secure verification across departments, municipalities, and even across borders.
- Fraud Prevention: How instant, cryptographic verification reduces risk and strengthens trust.
- Privacy by Design: How verifiable credentials improve privacy by bringing to life selective disclosure that ensures only the minimum data required is shared.
- Real-World Example: A look at how governments could issue verifiable credentials and how citizens can use them to seamlessly access services.
Join us to discover how verifiable credentials can help your government deliver faster, safer, and more citizen-friendly services—while building a trusted foundation for the future.
