The NFID Foundation, with its diverse array of founding members, including prominent companies in semiconductor, access control, biometrics, and lock manufacturing, seeks to revolutionize the ways we perceive and manage digital identities. The Foundation is focusing on unlocking new possibilities of transparency, trust, and privacy by establishing and maintaining a verifiable data registry designed specifically for the security industry.
We are facilitating the broad adoption and standardization of SSI across the security industry, addressing the unique needs of physical security applications and IoT devices. The NFID Foundation builds upon the work of leading self-sovereign identity standards bodies like W3C, DIF, ToIP, and the OpenWallet Foundation. Recognizing a need for specialized attention to firmware and microcontroller implementations—where current web-based standards bodies are lacking—the NFID Foundation bridges this gap by aligning its expertise with the unique requirements of security and IoT.
