    Advantages of ai-di for organizations and beneficiaries

    The ai-di digital wallet uses the Self-Sovereign Digital Identity Verifiable Credentials protocol, whose standards were defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

    Some of the advantages of ai-di for organizations and beneficiaries are:

      • Protection of user records and data: security, privacy, portability, retrieval and safeguarding of all information is guaranteed.
      • Ownership of the information: the beneficiaries will be the sole owners of the information.
        management of your credentials, choosing what type of information to share and with whom.
      • Generation and storage of credentials of beneficiaries: With social and economic data necessary to create the credentials that the organization considers relevant in order to contribute to the social inclusion of beneficiaries. The credentials may be used and shared with third parties and other institutions.
      • Scalability: based on the use of international protocols and universal technology, the implementation of the models to be developed is likely to be replicated and expanded in the future.
      • Digitization: digitize and computerize data and work processes.
      • Optimization: greater efficiency and speed in the management, access, information search and follow-up processes, ensuring greater traceability of information.
      • Record of behavior: Generates objective information on the behavior of the beneficiaries. If applicable, you can demonstrate a credit history and a verifiable financial and social reputation.
      • Accompanying inclusion and digital literacy processes: Training and advice will be provided on the use of digital tools, their advantages and possibilities for the beneficiaries.
      • Possibility of offering complementary services digitally and directly through the app, drastically reducing coordination and transaction costs, as well as identity validation processes.
