WISeKey, Microsoft and the OISTE Foundation cooperates to reduce the gap in the new Digital Identification Divide by issuing 20 million Digital Identities at WSIS.

Tunis (ots)

As part of its support to the World Summit on
Information Society, WISeKey in cooperation with Microsoft and the
OISTE Foundation will be providing a Digital Identification
Infrastructure designed to support a network of 20,000 Certification
Authorities. Each of these Certification Authorities operating from
189 countries will be authorized to issue a minimum of 1,000 Digital
Identities each supported by the WISekey-OISTE Trust Model creating a
de-facto global digital identity community of 20 million users.
WISeKey will be selecting organisations participating at WSIS as
potential participants in this program and will provide with one
CertifyID Blackbox for issuance of eIDs to their top clients and
members participating at WSIS.  Carlos Moreira, President of WISeKey,
commented: "The purpose of the Digital Identity is to restore the
ease and security human transactions once had when business was
conducted only face-to-face. In today's world, a networked world, we
are often conducting sensitive business and personal transactions
over vast distances without ever meeting or even speaking. Digital
Identities are required worldwide so we ensure global participation
and we exclude the exclusion" Jan Muehlfeit, Vice-President Public
Sector Europe, Middle-East and Africa, Microsoft Corporation
commented: "Information security and the extension of workflow to
include citizens and companies are key components of e-government. We
look to partners such as WISeKey to ensure that solutions based on
Microsoft technologies are delivering value for the unique needs of
the Public Sector."
Mr. Nitin Desai,  Special Adviser of the United Nations
Secretary-General to WSIS commented "The Digital Identification
project foreseen by the OISTE Foundation using WISekey technologies
will assist governments participating at WSIS to understand that
Digital Identification is not just about technology and electronic
service delivery; it is about using security, legislation,
information and communications technology to improve the delivery,
quality and accessibility of public services built around the needs
of the citizen and customer. It will mean doing things in radically
new and different ways and will accelerate the process to bridge the
digital divide gap."
Mr. Carlo Lamprecht, State Counsellor, Minister of Economy, Labour
and Foreign Affairs, State of Geneva, Switzerland, commented " The
work carried out by WISekey and partners in the area of Digital
Identification will have profound implications in the way the
Internet will work in the future. Geneva as the birthplace of the
World Wide Web and headquarters of WISekey is the ideal place to
continue these discussions at the Geneva World Security Forum, an
event designed to continue the work of WSIS in this area". This Forum
planned for 2006 aim to be the world wide focal point for all
security related issues and solutions.
WISekey is pleased to invite organizations participating at WSIS
to visit the WISekey Digital Identification Center  Stand 2202 Swiss
Pavilion  ICT4all Platform - WSIS 2005, Tunis and get a free Digital
Identification.  View full Article at:
