March 26, 2024 – Ann Arbor, Michigan and Zurich, Switzerland – Leading self-sovereign identity technology provider, PassiveBolt, and LEGIC Identsystems, a global leader in secure authentication, access management and IoT, are excited to announce their collaboration and showcase at the International Security Conference & Exposition (ISC West 2024, Booth 18019), happening April 9th to 11th in Las Vegas, Nevada. This showcase marks a significant step forward in the application of SSI technology across various industries, beginning with an innovative approach to EV charging stations.
The collaboration's first demonstration is the use of SSI technology in activating EV charging stations through verifiable credentials in digital identity wallets. By leveraging KeyShare (PassiveBolt’s digital identity wallet and SSI platform) and LEGIC’s security modules capable of processing verifiable credentials, this application paves the way for broader adoption of SSI applications for improving user experience, privacy, and security.
Following this successful integration, PassiveBolt and LEGIC are now ready to support further applications of their developed SSI library for LEGIC’s hardware:
- Hospitality Access Control: Transforming the guest experience, this application allows hotel guests to access their rooms and facilities using digital keys in their identity wallets, seamlessly presented to locks integrated with LEGIC’s security hardware.
- Workplace Security: Combining logical and physical security for more efficient workplace environments through digital credentials that enable access control and identity verification for employees.
- Smart City Applications: Facilitating access to public transportation, municipal services, and more, improving the convenience and security of urban living.
- Healthcare ID Management: Offering secure and private management of healthcare IDs and records, simplifying patient and provider access to facilities and information.
"This showcase at ISC West 2024 is just the beginning of our journey," said Kabir Maiga, CEO of PassiveBolt. "Through our collaboration with LEGIC, we’re excited to explore the vast potential of SSI technology in creating more secure, private, and seamless experiences for users everywhere."
