The Three C’s

Create

Individuals can create a digital ID that stores verified personal data required in applications.

Claim

Users can easily show their digital ID to claim NYC programs and benefits.

Control

Users can grant data access to selected agencies in their future applications.

Self-Sovereign Identity

Digital ID owners can store their verified information such as ID, income, housing, and other records in one app. They can use this in their application process with different NYC agencies. Users have the control to only grant access to agencies of their choice.

Interagency Collaboration

Efficiency and interagency collaboration can be improved simultaneously since the distributed ledger model allows a single ID element verification to echo across many agencies. This would largely forgo the need to re-verify certain common fields such as citizenship, contact information, and family income.

Data Efficient

Only metadata is stored in the ID and the NYC agency who previously affirmed the actual data. The actual data is stored at the agency of verification in a distributed network. Duplications of work no longer exist, increasing the security of customer data and lowering its risk of falling into the wrong hands.

Dimensional

Blockchain technology brings new ways to be interoperable and trust shared data. Along with interoperability, distributed ledgers and smart contracts open the door to ideal solutions for digital identity. Digital identity, be it for people, physical assets, or digital assets, is, in fact, at the heart of blockchain technology. Self-sovereign digital IDs can revolutionize the way NYC government agencies interact with the public, bringing leaps in efficiencies and improvements in access to services that would never be possible with conventional databases.
