A digital world
Technology
We want to help create a world where personal data is both controlled and accessible. The best way to do this is to put the control in the hands of the people to whom the data matters most: each citizen. Tethys e-ID is an alternative solution to paper and plastic IDs that enables users to carry health cards, drivers' licenses, and passports on smartphones.
Security
Tethys takes the identification systems to a new level of security. The solution is designed to share specific information to designated trusted partners across multiple countries. Like using a physical ID card, the user decides to present the digital document. Any personally identifiable information is protected with the latest encryption methods during the transaction. We want to protect identities while making information sharing and ID verification easier for everyone.
Communities
We want to help our communities by providing a simple e-ID solution for everyone. e-IDs benefits people in important ways:
- Improve service provisions through data-driven decisions.
- Save maintenance cost compared to legacy ID schemes.
- Increase efficiency by eliminating reliance on paperwork.
Convenience
We believe the future should be easier. Getting an ID should be an easy process. Using identification at multiple venues and for various reasons should be easy. Tethys makes ID more convenient by creating a secure, digital ID that can be used across any partner organization. The ability to carry health cards, drivers’ licenses and passports on mobile is the innovative solution citizens need.
Governance
We believe good governance is impossible with poor quality data. An effective e-ID solution will help governments collaborate with citizens to connect data points. As relevant data points are connected, service provision, government responsiveness, and budget efficiency will improve. The streamlined governance system helps lighten the bureaucratic load shared between citizens and government entities.
Environmental Stewardship
Plastic ID cards are wasteful due to their planned obsolescence. Billions of plastic IDs are created every year and nearly as many are thrown away. We aim to reduce the amount of plastic making its way into our environment by providing a digital alternative to legacy identification systems.
