Rebuilding Trust in Identity—By Returning It to the Individual

The State of Utah invites you to attend the State-endorsed Digital Identity (SEDI) Summit—a national gathering for states to lead the way in rethinking how identity works in the digital age.

As digital transactions become foundational to modern life, trust in identity systems must be earned, not assumed. The time has come for a model where states uphold their constitutional role, and individuals regain control over their identity.

Why This Matters

Digital identity is no longer a back-office function. It is infrastructure for the digital economy, a gatekeeper of access, and a cornerstone of individual autonomy. But current approaches—often centralized, opaque, or commercially driven—fail to protect the rights and dignity of individuals.

State Endorsed Digital Identity (SEDI) offers a new path forward that is—

  • User-controlled
  • State-endorsed
  • Security and privacy by default
  • Interoperable, secure, and transparent

What You’ll Gain at the Summit

  •  Understand the SEDI Model
     See how SEDI can return power to the people while ensuring high-assurance identity for government and business services.
  • Learn from Global Lessons
     Hear analysis on digital identity frameworks emerging around the world—and the risks they pose to autonomy and democracy.
  • Access Tools & Resources
     Receive model policies, governance frameworks, and technical considerations to inform action in your state.
  • Join a Multi-State Consortium
     Be part of shaping the future. Collaborate with other states to build a trusted, scalable, and rights-based approach to digital identity.
