Ajay Bhalla is chief enterprise security solutions officer for Mastercard. He leads the team that develops product solutions to ensure safety and security for consumers, merchants, partners and governments in their global network. (He serves on the company's management committee.) So when he talks about digital identity, he is worth listening to.
"What we need instead is a verified identity that is accepted globally and across multiple digital touchpoints."
From "The future of digital identity verification will be as simple as saying 'Hi, it's me' | City A.M.".
Ajay is right about this, as you might expect. But I disagree that we need “a verified identity”. What we need, of course, are “verified identities” that we can choose from on a per transaction basis.
To illustrate the point, an anecdote. I was reading Ajay’s article.
