Digital Identity Assurance

You need to use the Internet almost every day.

• Can you survive without using the Internet? The answer is simply: "No, it is not possible to survive in this modern world without using the Internet."

Why is it not possible to live without accessing the Internet?

• There are many requirements in cyberspace. We access our emails, and online banking services, buy items from online stores, and avail of a variety of online services provided by the government and private corporations.

• In most of all cases, we need to create user IDs and passwords and log in to the online portals. The user IDs and associated passwords authenticate our digital persona to the online portals.

The user IDs and associated passwords constitute our digital identity.

• We are responsible to protect the digital sanctity or data security and privacy of our digital identity.

• Safeguarding digital identity is a must on the Internet.

Protecting your digital identity is most important

=> Suppose you lose your digital ID and associated passwords.

=> What should you do?

• Maintaining multiple digital IDs and passwords is a difficult task. So, some of us (or most of us) keep the login passwords for multiple digital IDs the same.

• What could the problem be if you use the same password to log in to multiple online accounts? How does that affect your personal cybersecurity?

If the single password you use for multiple accounts is stolen by a cyber criminal, you lose all your online accounts associated with it.

• Cybersecurity experts suggest using a password manager, which is a software application that can manage multiple passwords for multiple online accounts with a single master password.

What is the problem with using a password manager?

• If the hackers can steal the master password of your password manager application, they can access all your online accounts managed by the password manager.

• Using a password manager is equally vulnerable as using the same password for all your online accounts.

=> Therefore, protecting your digital identity from cyber attacks is a prime task.

Digital identity assurance and democracy

It is now clear that every Internet user requires a foolproof solution to this problem of protecting digital identity.

• Your digital identity must be assured with a reliable method.

• You must be accessible to handle the security credentials of your digital identity in a democratic manner.

• That means you will enjoy the full authority to change, modify, and access your digital identity at any time from your own computer devices.

=> How to own your digital identity with complete assurance and democracy?

You need to have a solid strategy, a hard-to-hack authentication solution.
