Ontology in the Media

The Times Of India — “Digital identity is the new modern identity”

“We’ve seen how the pandemic has accelerated the need for robust, dynamic digital identity protection. Over the past two years we’ve needed to access all sorts of services, while to do so, we’ve used different means to share personally identifying information. This is not without risk: some of the methods used do not lend themselves to strong credentials verification, and cybercriminals will look for ways of misappropriating people’s personal information, which highlights the need for reform.” 

The emergence of DID technology allows Internet identity and personal sensitive data to be protected. Users can flexibly log in to various dApps and platforms based on DID, and quickly access Web3. The Ontology OWN infrastructure centered on the decentralized identity framework will enable applications to fully protect private data and help users manage data and assets independently.
