Digital Identity Card to infuse multiple benefits to citizens

A digital Identity card will bring multiple benefits for the citizens of any country and many Asian countries like Singapore are also successfully using this, said Vice President, General Manager, Zoho Corporation, a global leader in technology and business solutions, Asia Pacific PAC, Gibu Mathew in Colombo yesterday.

“A Digital ID will also allow a person to do most of the translations including banking, airline and travel booking, shopping, paying utility bills and even changing a password from home. The future of Digital ID will also see it being used as a passport to travel overseas as well,” he predicted. Asked about security and data being ‘stolen or misused’ by other countries he said all governments that have introduced this system have addressed this issue successfully through high tech protection measures.
