Healthcare has been called “the next frontier” for identity security for nearly a decade, but why hasn’t the industry moved? Jay Meier of FaceTec explains the structural, regulatory, and technical reasons behind the delay, and outlines how modern liveness and identity binding can finally close long-standing gaps.

Listen to the latest episode of ID Talk for a clear, candid conversation about the future of healthcare fraud prevention.

This week on ID Talk, hosts Tony Bitzionis and Alex Perala are joined by Leif Johansson, Director of Technology for the Siros Foundation, for a deep dive into the EUDI wallet and the future of passkeys.

Johansson details his work on the "WW wallet," a passkey-powered solution that emerged as one of the winners of Germany's official digital identity wallet competition, notably beating entries from Google and Samsung. He discusses the wallet's origins, the critical need for identity solutions to cover 100% of "edge cases" rather than just the majority, and why he believes the industry must draw a sharp distinction between true digital identity and the fungible world of cryptocurrency.

After an enormously successful Identity Week America in Washington, D.C., ID Talk is bringing listeners conversations recorded live on the show floor! Join hosts Tony Bitzionis, Alex Perala, and Dave Barclay as they chat with industry leaders in digital identity.
