Digital Identity in the Modern Era: Navigating the Nexus of Security, Privacy, and Social Inclusion (Published)
Digital identity systems have become central to the functioning of modern digital economies and governance structures. With the proliferation of national ID programs and global digital identity initiatives, questions of data security, user privacy, and social inclusion have risen to the forefront. This paper explores the evolving landscape of digital identity, examining the balance between technological advancement and ethical responsibility. It presents a comparative view of global identity programs, including India’s Aadhaar and the EU’s eIDAS framework, alongside emergent models like decentralized and self-sovereign identity (SSI). Emphasis is placed on the role of identity transformation in enterprise cybersecurity and the integration of governance automation to ensure scalable, compliant, and inclusive identity architectures. The paper concludes with strategic considerations for designing equitable digital identity systems that respect individual rights while meeting operational demands.
