**Digital Identity**

## Your digital identity is a collection of personal data about you that exists online.

There’s no definitive, technical definition of digital identity across the globe, as many important organisations such as the World Bank and the World Economic Forum have their own descriptions of the concept.

Here at OneID®, our definition of a digital identity is made up of 3 simple components:

- The first part of your digital identity is your digital attributes. This is any personal information that identifies you. This could be things such as your name, address, or date of birth.
- Next, those pieces of personal information go through a verification process that makes sure the information is connected to you. This verification is done by a certified party, like us, and an example of this is using your bank-verified information.
- The final piece of the puzzle is you and your authentication details. Don’t worry, it’s simpler than it sounds. Authentication just means how you prove that you are the person this verified information belongs to, and could be a password, a PIN or your fingerprint/ face ID.

So essentially, your digital identity is made up of digital attributes that identify you as an individual. This information is then verified to be true and accurate and is accessed by you whenever you need to use it through usernames, passwords, PINs or fingerprint/ face ID login.

If you have all three of these components to make up your digital identity, then it can always be used to prove who you are online safely and securely.
