Biometric Update Podcast connects with ADVP

In this episode of the Biometric Update Podcast, host Joel McConvey talks to representatives from the Association of Document Verification Professionals (ADVP), a trade group that has quietly been around since 2018 – but has become more public with their activity in the wake of the Gov.UK Wallet announcements.

Liaison Officer Alan Gooden explains how the group came to be, and its early strategy of keeping a low profile. David Crack, the recently elected chairperson of the ADVP, speaks on how philosophies about sovereign identity – and new government plans – are fueling new questions about what the future of digital ID should look like. Will providers certified under the UK Digital Identity and Attributes Framework (DIATF) now be smothered by the government that encouraged innovation, or by the titans of Big Tech? Is there a way to foster an ecosystem of providers that can live in harmony with digital driving licenses and Apple wallets?
