    Digital identities have evolved from the proverbial audible challenge that was called from the castle gates, “Who goes there?” There was little to be able to discern the validity of the identities provided. Jumping through time to 1962 we saw the advent of the password protected system. We were still in a state of being unable to verify the user identity of the password. Moving to biometrics, multi-factor authentication and passwordless technology has demonstrated that tools to authenticate digital identities are improving. When we factor nefarious technologies such as deep fakes and conversely future looking technology such as DNA data storage, we see that the need for governments to take the lead on digital identities is of paramount importance.
