{"title":"PrivyID Becomes The First Indonesian Company to Join The FIDO Alliance","content":"\nAs a member of the alliance, PrivyID is now eligible to take part in global policy and market development activities through active participation in one of its working groups.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrivyID, Indonesia’s leading legally-binding digital signature and trusted digital identity solution provider, has officially become the first Indonesian company to become a member of the FIDO Alliance. Other notable members of the alliance include Google, Apple, Amazon, Paypal, Alibaba Group, and Goldman Sachs.\n\n\n\n\u201cBy becoming a member of the FIDO Alliance, PrivyID is showing its commitment to a new model in user authentication that prioritizes both simpler and stronger user experiences,\u201d said Andrew Shikiar, executive director and CMO of the FIDO Alliance. \u201cWe look forward to PrivyID\u2019s contributions to the Alliance as we work to change the nature of authentication and strengthen identity verification processes.\u201d\nFounded in July 2012, The FIDO Alliance is an open industry association with a focused mission to create authentication standards to help reduce the world\u2019s over-reliance on passwords. It aims to provide a safer alternative to passwords that is simpler for consumers to use and at the same time easier for service providers to deploy and manage. The FIDO Alliance currently has fifteen working groups, one of them the Identity Verification and Binding Working Group (IDWG), in which PrivyID plans to contribute.\n\nThe IDWG was established to provide authoritative guidance, performance evaluation, and certifications on new techniques for validating a user\u2019s identity that meet the Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements. A good example of this procedure would be the process of matching biometric \u201cselfie\u201d with government-issued identity, a solution that PrivyID has already implemented to 4.5 million of their users. Through direct partnerships with over 200 companies in Indonesia, including the nation\u2019s largest banks and IT companies, PrivyID has enabled millions of Indonesians access financial and retail services securely and conveniently.\n\u201cWe are excited to become part of the FIDO Alliance. We are certain that aligning strategic initiatives and innovations with the alliance would greatly assist us in providing a strong, integrated, and secured digital identity solution to our customers\u201d, said Marshall Pribadi, Founding CEO of PrivyID. \u201cWe look forward to participating in a globalized knowledge exchange and engagement program with other members.\u201d\n\n\n\n","link":"https:\/\/privy.id\/blog\/privyid-joins-fido-alliance\/","banner":"https:\/\/prod-blog.privy.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/PrivyID-Becomes-Member-of-FIDO-Alliance.jpg","date":"2020-03-10"}
