- Governance Orchestrators - The orchestrating required to bring together decentralized identity ecosystems is today's biggest gap for Commercial SSI. By this I mean the Trust over IP Level 4 governance authorities that are required to make something commercially real. We have the approaches, the principles, the technologies and the standards down. There is also clear market demand for data ownership and privacy-preserving digital interactions. We've have also seen great enhancements on mobile devices for authentication methods such as biometrics and continuous authentication. So the question is: how we make decentralized identity more of a reality in our day-to-day lives? How can we create a place in which a bank, a gig economy company or a start-up can all simply plug-in and begin using verifiable credentials? There is a glaring need for Commercial SSI Governance Authorities. As we know, half of the battle in decentralized identity, especially in government regulated industries, is governance. We require governance entities to help in the formation of ecosystems, the setting of rules, the making of markets, the monetization strategies, the dispute strategies, etc. More entities are required to manage the bits of a trust framework that are commercial decisions.

While the majority of industries are welcoming and adopting the technological innovations that are revolutionizing the way Canadian businesses operate, legal services providers have been typically reluctant to rely on digital channels to identify and verify client identity. However, all of this is changing with a new service by SecureKey, called Verified.Me. In this podcast, Greg Wolfond, CEO of SecureKey talks about what legal professionals need to be aware of the specific solutions that are available to help them to verify the identity of their clients. He talks about how digital verification through Verified.me allows for the streamlining of processes, allowing clients to securely prove they are who they say they are on a strict timeline and through an efficient workflow.

Digital identity is one of the most solution resistant challenges to online commerce and, indeed, our online lives. It is basic to online trust, an elusive condition undermined by data breaches, abuse of our data by service provider, and fraudsters. That’s not say we aren’t trying. Providers of all stripes are applying their value add to the problem. Smartphone makers have a role. Fraud management providers see themselves as having a role because they see so many users visiting their merchant customers’ websites or using their apps. Networks do, too, as evidenced by Mastercard’s recent interest in identity services. Then there are specialists in identity who play a role between the end user and the party granting access to a service, i.e. a bank. Today’s podcast is with SecureKey, a Canadian firm that has built a system to generate online trust while not sharing too much data between the parties. Blockchain technology has increasingly gotten the attention of those in the identity space because the idea of having an immutable database as a single source of truth for identity credentials just seems so obvious. Well, it’s not exactly as simple as putting your drivers license on a blockchain. SecureKey has partnered with IBM to use blockchain technology in support of its function as a provider of identity services. SecureKey’s Verified.Me service gives the user the ability to quickly identity themselves and to share only the personally identifiable information they consent to share. Customers include Canadian banks CIBC, Desjardins, RBC, Scotiabank and TD. BMO and National Bank of Canada will be available later this year. Take a listen to this conversation with Andre Boysen, SecureKey's Chief Identity Officer, and Glenbrook’s George Peabody and imagine the power of coupling a service like this to strong authentication services that use biometrics.

Scott discusses the revolutionary new digital ID service in Canada offered by SecureKey, Verified.Me. He is joined by Greg Wolfond (CEO of SecureKey), Stevan Lewis (SVP Digital Transformation at Sun Life Financial) and Franklin Garrigues (VP Digital Channel at TD).

Have you ever thought about how many millions of transactions and transmissions of sensitive information are going on each and every minute around the world? Have you ever thought about how devastating identity theft, or getting hacked can be? This is something that impacts consumers and businesses, and is particularly important to be mindful of when working in fintech or payments. Our guest this week had so much to share about digital identity and security, because he works for a business leading the way in innovation around these topics. Andre Boysen is the Chief Identity Officer for  SecureKey, one of the leading identity and authentication providers that simplifies consumer access to online services and applications. Listen in as Scott and Andre explore this fascinating topic! Find show notes and more at: https://www.soarpay.com/podcast/

One of the main roadblocks when it comes to accessing new services online is digital ID verification; it's risky, challenging and sometimes just impossible. SecureKey is on a mission to change this, and they're going about it in a unique way. “Rather than trying to construct trust out of nothing…let's build on the success of what consumers already understand and what's already common business practice, but adapt it so it works better online…” says Andre Boysen, who is the CIO of SecureKey. SecureKey allows consumers to use the providers they already trust, such as banks, telephone companies and governments, to privately enter only the most pertinent identity information, prove their trusted identity online and gain access to new digital services. There are plenty of benefits for businesses too. According to Boysen, a business wants three things: to receive data from authoritative sources, to know that data has not been altered since it was written by those authoritative sources, and to know that data is being presented by the person it belongs to. SecureKey promises to address these needs while increasing business integrity and decreasing the risk of data breaches by providing less data that's more trustworthy. Seven of the largest banks and all of the major cell phone providers in Canada are already connected to the SecureKey network. To learn more, tune in and visit securekey.com.

Digital identity is a crisp sounding term that belies a complex layer of concepts. There is identity proofing. Identify verification. Identity assurance. Each addresses one element of the many questioned raised by digital identity. How does a bank really know the digital presence at its banking portal is associated with the accountholder? How can you, as an individual, release only the amount of data necessary to satisfy the parties to the transaction? We share more than we need to. I still get carded at a bar to prove I’m over 21 (what a waste of time!). When I show my license, the barkeep also sees my address, license number, and more. Definitely a case of oversharing. If parties such as utilities, government, and financial institutions vouch for that digital presence, should any of them be responsible for proving that digital presence is right and true? Simplifying complex problems for multiple stakeholders should be a formula for success. SecureKey is a long time player in the identity ecosystem, having built a federated identity platform linking Canadian citizens to government resources using bank-issued credentials. SecureKey has evolved its system to make use of a mobile app as well as a blockchain-based database that securely points to data stored by banks, utilities, and government entities, all in a zero liability arrangement. This conversation between Glenbrook’s George Peabody and SecureKey’s chief identity officer Andre Boysen dives into identity concepts, how SecureKey’s Verified Me system works, and its use of blockchain. For more on digital identity concepts, look at NIST’s excellent set of Digital Identity Guidelines.  

To celebrate Canada’s upcoming 150th birthday (on July 1st), I interviewed Canadian Blockchain entrepreneur Greg Wolfond. Greg is the CEO & Founder of SecureKey – an identity and authentication provider. He’s also a serial entrepreneur with over 30 years in FinTech, security and mobile solutions. Here are some of his accolades: Founded Footprint Software – a financial software company that he sold to IBM Founded 724 Solutions – a wireless infrastructure software provider he took public Entrepreneur of the Year Canada’s Top 40 Under 40 Named 100 Top Leaders in Identity In this episode, Greg and I discuss why Blockchain was a logical choice in building SecureKey’s digital identity network, the future of digital identities, and how two of Greg’s friends got their identities hacked and had mortgages put on their homes!

In this podcast, part 2 of our conversation with Andre Boysen of SecureKey, we explore the specifics of how ledger-based cryptographic systems like blockchain can empower digital identity. Learn how he envisions strong identity across the Internet without risking personal data, breaches or privacy.

In this podcast, Andre Boysen of SecureKey talks about his company's work with the Digital ID and Authentication Council of Canada (DIACC) and IBM to develop a digital identity network using blockchain technology. He believes the world must transition from user name and password based authentication to secure methods that put the user in control of personal information. He says SecureKey's triple blind approach coupled with blockchain is an ideal solution.

The term identity gets used a lot whenever internet payments and security are discussed. Knowing who we transact with is still the knotty problem. Strong authentication is required. Identity verification is required, too. A means of sharing the fruits of that work among the parties involved, especially those taking on risk, could save everyone a lot of cost and effort. That’s the notion behind federated identity and other means of securely sharing identity attributes without undermining privacy. That tall order is the subject of this podcast with Andre Boysen, Chief Identity Officer of SecureKey. Join George and Andre as they talk about trust on the internet, SecureKey’s approach, and the company’s use of blockchain technology via a partnership with IBM.

Many consumer-facing e-commerce implementations depend on 1960s technology to identify and authenticate customers. SecureKey is bringing authentication down to the device and chip level in order to combat fraud. It also is working to share digital IDs across an Identity Federation. securitycurrent's Vic Wheatman speak with SecureKey's CEO Charles Walton who talks about these timely issues.

While large-scale password breaches are almost common occurrences these days, the Heartbleed bug caught everybody by surprise. "The Heartbleed breach has demonstrated that everything we thought was secret on the internet is in fact not secret," says Andre Boysen, executive vice president of marketing at SecureKey. "That's really what is interesting is that Heartbleed has lifted the veil on the security model of the internet and there's been a collective gasp of disbelief." Regarding ID's Gina Jordan spoke with Boysen about the bug, it's impact and how it may lead to multi-factor authentication.

There are many discussions surrounding the multiple user names and passwords individuals must remember to gain access to accounts. Countries across the globe are investigating ways to make it easier for people to securely access information. In Canada, SecureKey Technologies will be enabling individuals to use bank cards for access to government sites, says Andre Boysen, executive vice president of Digital Identity and Authentication Services at the company. "The challenge for governments in Canada and the U.S. for that matter is that consumers don't deal with the government that often, so when you get a special purpose government account to interact with you've often forgotten the user ID and password since the last time you've used it," Boysen says. "So the government's idea here is really to take advantage of a credential that you have already and make it easier for you to get online with using that credential rather than having a special purpose one just for government."
