Why is digital identity so vital?

Paper and plastic-based identity management processes can be cumbersome, costly to maintain, and prone to slow identity information update. It is even harder in today’s digital world, where information must be shared across multiple systems and organizations.

Tethys is introduced as a ubiquitous digital solution that can easily integrate into organizations via smartphones and CRM access to facilitate information gathering and sharing at the highest security levels. In addition, Tethys digital identity aims to modernize traditional identity management systems.

How many ID documents do we really need?

Current systems are not shared across organizations and departments. This leaves citizens with multiple forms instead of a single, useful identifier that can provide identity information everywhere it’s needed.

Why don't we have a secure ID for everyone?

Security against data breaches and privacy violations is a growing concern. Theft in Canada increased by 43.5% from 2016 to 2019. Paper and plastic systems are vulnerable because documents can be lost, stolen, or even copied.

Why is updating our data such a tedious user experience?

Multiple identification systems cause another problem: keeping information current. How many organizations and departments does a person need to inform when they move house? Why should the number be greater than one?

Why can't we build a secure system?

The most common form of theft is new account fraud. Criminals use readily accessible information to open a new account in someone else's name. Victims may be unaware of these accounts for months, or even years because the criminals leave no sign of their behavior.

What about the hassle of showing ID documents?

Surveys show the average person has to produce their driver's licence 1-2 times per week. People use other paper documents, such as passports, health cards or employee cards, frequently as well.

Why can't we use information efficiently and helpfully?

How can government services, businesses, and organizations identify usage patterns without info? Paper and plastic cards don't provide any info to track without even more manual paperwork.

How Can Organizations and Government Services Use Tethys for Digital ID Management?

Governments and large organizations can use Tethys to identify individuals with a single ID number each person can share across government departments and with private organizations.

Tethys Makes Digital Transformation Possible

Tethys works by using biometric information collected through facial captures to identify and recognize individuals. AlphaLabs makes it possible to connect health cards, driver's licenses, passports and other identification documents to one universal medium available in smartphones.

Unique Biometric Digital ID for Everyone

Tethys creates a unique identity for each user. It links each identity to biometric data for the person to eliminate the possibility of duplication or identity theft. The Tethys e-ID also stores basic data points such as Name, Address, and Date of Birth.

Simple Access Management and Analysis

Tethys works with a lightweight scanning app. Simply install the Tethys scanner on any compatible device and begin digital ID verification and access analysis. Tethys is compatible with smartphones and tablets, and hsas interoperability with QR and barcode scanners.

Dashboard Data Visualization

Dashboards bring data to life with clear visualizations. Dynamic dashboards help organizations understand usage and demographic trends. When organizations possess this solid information, they can make better resource provisioning decisions.

Scalable Up to Millions of People

The Tethys system can manage digital ID for millions of people. The ecosystem's backend was designed to scale for the at the need of users. Individuals register once and can use their e-IDs to accepting locations.

Census and Demographic Data Collection

Citizens can provide their information in real-time through smartphones. Most census data collections are operated via paper or online surveys. These data need to be aggregated in various ways to be available for analysis. Tethys offers a system simplifying the data collection, allowing a faster turnover for analysis.

Protect Budgets with Efficient Administration

Adding new users costs pennies. There is no complicated paper bureaucracy to maintain. People can update their personal information electronically with no increase in the administrative burden for the government or organization.

Is Tethys Better for Individuals?

Absolutely. Imagine a society where people can prove their identity with a quick scan instead of a hunt through the car or their purse for a piece of plastic. Imagine a time when digital records move seamlessly with everyone and no one wastes time filling in repetitive forms. That’s the promise of digital identity systems.

Tethys is the first and best digital identity system to be commercially available across Canada.

Tethys is Secure

Paper and plastic cards can be easily lost, stolen prone to identity theft. Biometric data collected through facial recognition ensure every digital identity is connected to the right person.

Tethys is Convenient

Individuals present a piece of identification 1-2 times per week on average. Tethys offers one more option to identify individuals digitally. The digital options reduce the need to carry materialized paper and plastic IDs and share information more conveniently.

Tethys is Efficient

Identity verification process can be tedious and complex due to the lack of centralization between the competent organizations. The Tethys Ecosystem creates a knowledge hub connecting the competent organization together allowing a safer and faster exchange of information.

Tethy is Eco-Friendly

Single-use ID cards weights 30 to 40 grams of plastic. At global scale there are hundreds of millions tones of plastic thrown away every year by lack means of reutilization. Tethys can help protect the environment by creating a long term digital solution allowing communities to move away from plastic waste to embrace a global dematerialized solution.
