By joining the "One Humanity ID" platform, members magnify our collective influence, converting shared goals into tangible outcomes and playing an instrumental role in shaping a harmonious world enriched by creativity and collaborative spirit.

WISeID represents the cutting edge in safeguarding personal and corporate identities online, facilitating secure digital interactions. This dynamic digital identity system protects email communication, endows digital signatures with legal credibility, and fortifies security through dual-factor authentication and single sign-on capabilities. Embedded in the WISeKey/OISTE Trust, WISeID employs blockchain technology to disseminate identity credentials and forge interconnected ecosystems. Additionally, WISeID streamlines online KYC onboarding, OTP verification, and "hands-free" secure access via QR-Code scans with the "My WISeID" mobile app, eliminating the necessity for password input. It also furnishes digital signing services for documents and complies with OpenID Connect and OAUTH2 protocols, facilitating seamless integration to bolster cloud application security.

Individuals can readily access WISeID as a web service via the WISeID.com trust services portal, a platform where they can establish their digital identities and immediately enjoy its advantages. Concurrently, corporations have the opportunity to offer digital identities to their workforce or clientele through comprehensive identity management services. Notably, wiseid.com empowers businesses to incorporate WISeID accounts into their existing digital infrastructure, reaping the rewards of enhanced authentication and digital signature services.
