UK Government Advances Digital Identity Certification, Reports Geeky News
Nov 24, 2023
Surrey, United Kingdom Nov 24, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Geeky News is pleased to announce the publication of its new article. Titled "UK Government Enhances Digital Identity Certification Guidelines for RTW, RTR, and DBS Checks," the article delves into recent updates made by the UK government to its digital identity certification guidelines. The main focus of these guidelines is on right-to-work (RTW), right-to-rent (RTR), and criminal record checks (DBS).
In an effort to bolster digital identity certification, the UK government, effective from 8th November, has rolled out updated guidelines encouraging employers and landlords to leverage only authorised digital identity services providers (IDSPs). The revisions also include the addition of two new certified IDSPs, detailed in Section 6 of the guidelines.
These guidelines align with the UK Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF), a compilation of regulations for companies to adhere to when offering secure and reliable identity or attribute verifications. To achieve certification against RTW, RTR, and DBS schemes, IDSPs must meet the criteria outlined in the latest DIATF edition released in January.
From the government's perspective, the Right to Work, Right to Rent, and Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) initiatives hold significant importance within the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) trust framework's testing process.
The evolution of DBS checks, formerly known as CRB checks, is highlighted in the article. Originally conducted through physical verification of identity documents, the process transitioned to video calls during the pandemic. Since the termination of the temporary free support service on 11th May, the government now mandates the use of digital ID verification technology for background checks.
As of 6th April, landlords and employers are mandated to leverage certified IDSPs such as Yoti for DBS checks. However, RTW and RTR checks can still be verified manually, providing flexibility for these specific processes.
The certification process for IDSPs seeking approval is rigorous and involves specifying the desired scheme--RTW and RTR, DBS, or both. The DCMS undertakes thorough on-site audits and desk assessments based on the scope of the preferred certification scheme. Only upon meeting all the requirements of the chosen scheme will the certification request be approved.
In terms of transparency, the DCMS commits to reviewing the outcomes of the assessment process. If all requirements are met, the name, contact details, and certification status of the IDSP will be publicly disclosed, as per the guidelines.

Anthropic raises alarm over elite hacking ability of Chinese firm Z.ai’s GLM-5.3
The US artificial intelligence giant Anthropic has warned of the potential danger posed by Chinese firm Z.ai’s GLM-5.3, with the open-weight model showing a troubling mix of powerful hacking abilities but weak safety constraints. GLM-5.3 almost matches Anthropic’s most advanced model in terms of its cyber capabilities, but has far weaker safeguards, meaning there is greater potential for the model to be co-opted by bad actors, according to the San Francisco-based firm.
