The Tokyo-headquartered firm started offering its DNP Decentralized ID Management Platform in August last year. Aside from issuing Verifiable Credentials, the platform issues digital credentials based on decentralized IDs (DID). Consumers can use the platform to manage their ID information and verify their identity with a smartphone. The Asia Pacific Digital Identity Consortium was launched in December last year with the goal of establishing collaboration on cross-border digital identity solutions in the region. According to Takumi Aoki, DNP’s senior marketing analyst, the consortium will gather a group of partners working on interoperability and use cases within the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
