The DIATF Certification – What is it?
The UK Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF) is a set of standards and best practices designed to enable the creation and use of digital identities for a wide variety of applications. Its purpose is to provide reliable digital identity or attributes to the third party that knows nothing about the individual. This is a key priority of the UK Government’s strategy and has been designed to enable innovation, competition and provide transparency, service providers can become independently certified.
ShareRing Earns UK DIATF Certification
ShareRing, Australia’s gold standard of self-sovereign digital IDs, has officially earned accreditation under the United Kingdom’s Digital Identities and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF). This achievement is a massive step forward in our commitment to delivering a secure, reusable ‘Digital Me’ solution that’s both private and effective.
With this DIATF certification, ShareRing is now fully equipped to support digital ID verification in the UK, including specialized applications like land registry. This means businesses can access a seamless, end-to-end digital ID solution for everything from financial KYC, customer due diligence, and age verification to venue management and corporate identity needs—all through a simple, intuitive platform.
Empowering Businesses and Individuals
ShareRing’s ‘Digital Me’ tech enables businesses to verify customer IDs through a web platform while customers can manage their personal information with the ShareRing Me app. This ensures that users retain complete control over their data, making it shareable only as needed. It truly is a synergistic solution: ShareRing Link and ShareRing Me.
Our identity verification solution is dual-powered. ShareRing Link is the business interface, while ShareRing Me enables customers to manage their Digital Me effortlessly. Together, they create a complete solution for digital identity, perfectly in sync.
For businesses, it’s all about control and choice. Imagine you need a customer’s name and photo—using ShareRing, customers can share a ‘ShareRing Verified’ ID without handing over more data than necessary. This minimal-data approach means businesses handle only what’s required, and customers keep control of sensitive information.
Building Trust with DIATF Standards
The DIATF is backed by the UK government and serves as a stringent framework to foster secure and trustworthy digital identity systems. Certified companies like ShareRing must adhere to high standards to protect data integrity, privacy, and reliability while reducing identity fraud risks.
“Digital IDs are essential to reducing business friction and driving efficiency across industries,” said Tim Bos, Founder of ShareRing. “The UK is leading digital ID regulation, and now ShareRing is perfectly positioned to support partners in both Australia and the UK.”
A Secure, User-Controlled Digital Identity System
Powered by blockchain technology (Tendermint PoS and Cosmos SDK), ShareRing’s self-sovereign identity solution provides a tamper-proof environment. Unlike vulnerable, traditional identity systems, our approach ensures personal data remains securely under user control and is only shared with third parties upon explicit consent. In the past year, ShareRing has transformed KYC and identity verification for numerous businesses across Australia and beyond, replacing outdated processes with reusable digital identities.
Looking ahead, ShareRing aims to partner with UK and Australian investment funds, nightlife venues, F&B locations, and hotels, helping these sectors guard against identity fraud, streamline operations, and cut costs.
