Citizen Digital Identity

 

The technology behind South Africa’s smart ID card


Altron Security has been the trusted cryptography provider for the South African National Identity card for over twelve years.

In collaboration with Altron Fintech, we supply the complete infrastructure for the South African ID card. This smart card employs top-tier cryptography to secure the credentials it holds, making it ideal for identity verification and authentication in both government services and the private sector.

With extensive experience in citizen identity, we also collaborate with leading digital identity and identity wallet providers worldwide to introduce digital identity solutions to South African citizens.

The benefits of digital identity are vast, offering access to a comprehensive digital identity infrastructure, multiple identity wallets for various use cases, and the ability to provide only the necessary credentials for each specific use case, ensuring total control over personal information.
