Yes, the key challenge to providing identity assurance at scale is removing the need for direct trust agreements between ID services providers and those who rely on IDs for their business processes. OIX is a membership community for all those involved in the ID sector. Vendors and clients, regulators and influencers connect and collaborate to develop the rules, tools and confidence to create Trust Frameworks for identity in order to accept universally trusted identities.
