Regula and Indicio Partner to Transform Identity Verification With Verifiable Credentials
RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Regula, a global developer of identity verification (IDV) solutions and forensic devices, enters a strategic technology partnership with Indicio, a market leader in Verifiable Credential technology and decentralized identity solutions. Together, the two companies will deliver a breakthrough in portable digital trust by issuing document and biometric identity verification solutions as tamper-proof Verifiable Credentials. Regula x Indicio: the two tech leaders join forces to turn trusted identity checks into secure, portable Verifiable Credentials, bridging the gap between physical documents and digital trust. Share This collaboration between Regula and Indicio delivers a holistic infrastructure for creating, storing, and verifying digital identities, underpinned by the most robust verification technologies available today. After decades of forensic expertise and innovation in document and biometric verification technology, Regula has the most complete set of ID authenticity checks and most trustworthy server-side document NFC verification available in its Regula Document Reader SDK. The solution is backed by Regula's proprietary world's largest identity document template database, which currently includes over 15,000 templates of IDs issued in 252 countries and territories. With Indicio's field-leading and award-winning decentralized identity technology, the validation of identity documents by Regula can now be transformed into user-held, tamper-proof Verifiable Credentials for instant, seamless verification. This enables both companies to provide the deepest and widest range of globally-interoperable, digital identity solutions for business and governments. By joining forces, Regula and Indicio could deliver a solution that enables companies to deploy Verifiable Credentials across a wide range of formats, including those specified by the European Union's Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI), Digital Travel Credentials (DTC) following International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) specifications, W3C credentials and the mobile document-mobile driver's license format (ISO 18013-5, mdoc/mDL). Indicio will offer their mobile wallet SDK customers Regula's industry leading biometric and document verification technology to provide the highest level of identity assurance to take a leap forward in the kind of strong, seamless authentication needed for KYC, payments, digital finance, and, of course, travel and hospitality. The combination of Regula and Indicio technology is also capable of tackling the latest challenges in biometric identity fraud and generative AI deepfakes. 'This partnership transforms the way we share and verify data,' said Heather Dahl, CEO of Indicio. 'The breadth and depth of Regula's technology in document authentication is unmatched, and to be able to issue, share, and verify these documents as Verifiable Credentials provide the world with the breakthrough in digital trust it needs. We are tremendously excited to be working with Regula.' 'The global shift towards decentralized digital identity is here today, but it will bring tangible benefits only with the right technology behind it. Our partnership with Indicio bridges the gap between today's physical documents and tomorrow's trusted digital credentials.

Aviation security leaders call for digital identity
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has called for the rapid adoption of digital identity technologies to enhance aviation security and operational efficiency. Leading government and industry stakeholders in aviation security participating in the Sydney Leaders Week Conference supported this position, emphasising the need for collaboration in implementing Verifiable Credentials (VC) and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). Sydney Leaders Week, hosted by Qantas, is being attended by industry experts and government representatives from Australia, Canada, China, New Zealand, the UK, and the US. It is widely accepted that digital identity can bring the following benefits to aviation security: • Stronger document integrity: Reducing fraud and unauthorised access. • Global trust: Enabling secure, cross-border, interoperable identity verification. • Operational efficiency: Streamlining document verification for a smoother passenger experience, strengthening regulatory oversight, and optimising resource allocation. "Global cooperation keeps flying secure. Adopting Verifiable Credentials and Decentralized Identifiers standards is a natural next step in reinforcing security, trust, and efficiency. Every aviation stakeholder wants flying to be even more secure—which crosses geopolitical divides. The technology is ready and proven. We now need to take the momentum of this meeting and work towards obtaining a recommendation at the upcoming ICAO assembly later this year,' said Nick Careen, IATA's Senior Vice President, Operations, Safety and Security. Strengthening security through digital transformation Aviation security leaders at the conference also identified key actions for governments to drive the industry's digital transformation: • Fast-track technology integration: Incorporate VC and DID technologies into national and international security frameworks, aligning with ICAO Annex 17 and Aircraft Operator Security Programs (AOSP). • Prioritise Aviation Digital ID Use Cases: Integrate aviation digital identity solutions into national digital strategies to enhance global cooperation. • Invest in capacity building: Allocate resources to equip industry stakeholders with the necessary knowledge and infrastructure for seamless implementation. • Increase Stakeholder Engagement: Promote awareness and industry-wide adoption of digital identity solutions through targeted education and outreach. Industry is working to support governments As part of this effort, IATA's One ID initiative promotes globally interoperable digital identity standards, enabling passengers to verify their travel documents before departure and move through the airport using biometric recognition instead of physical documents. One ID works in harmony with ICAO's Digital Travel Credential ensuring security and efficiency while maintaining privacy and compliance with global regulations.
