When talking about digital issuance, it is important to understand the three key roles it plays and the functionality it provides. As the identity landscape evolves, understanding what digital issuance is and isn’t can help cut through the confusion. Digital issuance offers numerous benefits across the ecosystem, with four primary areas of focus: convenience, security, privacy, and interoperability.
