Digital identities are electronic representations that refer to distinct entities within the ecosystem & parties wishing to interact with each other. Identities consist of information that uniquely identifies an entity in a given context .

*Link to Thales* Thales on Digital Identities:

"We are swapping office spaces for virtual collaboration tools; bricks and mortar shopping for online retail; and, of course, adopting social media to augment our offline recreational activities. Being able to prove identity quickly and conveniently is essential to use a service and to protect it.  To deliver a service securely, it’s imperative for a provider to know that they are delivering it to the right person. When individuals are unsure that their identities are protected, they are reluctant to engage with new products."
