On this episode we spoke with Teresa Wu, Vice President of Smart Credentials and Access at IDEMIA. IDEMIA has been involved with many U.S. states for their mobile IDs, including New York, Arizona, Iowa, Delaware and more. Very few people on earth have more experience than Teresa working with governments to issue digital credentials.
We asked her what would encourage more states to launch mobile IDs and drive end-user adoption. Her response was: more relying party use cases. So, we spent most of our conversation exploring questions like:
- Should relying parties wait to adopt until standards mature and more people have digital IDs?
- How can relying parties get started now?
- How much should the industry channel its energy towards innovation vs. standardization?
- How will the wallet landscape evolve? Will operating system wallets dominate, or will there be lots of wallets?
We closed out by covering the lessons Teresa has learned through all this experience for public servants. I think this conversation will be relevant to anybody interested in digital IDs, either on the issuance or acceptance side.
You can find Teresa on Linkedin and learn more about IDEMIA on their website.
