GLEIF has launched a CA Stakeholder Group to facilitate communication between GLEIF, CAs and TSPs from across the world, as they collectively aim to coordinate and encourage a global approach to LEI usage across digital identity products.

The collaboration announcement follows news last year that ISO has standardized the process of embedding LEIs in digital certificates.

In accordance with ISO 17442-2, the CA Stakeholder Group will develop and promote best practice guidelines and use cases for LEI integration across the digital identity industry.

The use of the LEI in digital certificates will deliver significant identity management benefits in a digital environment.

"This is an important step in promoting the LEI's capacity to enhance trust and add enormous value across the digital identity management systems which power the private sector," comments Stephan Wolf, GLEIF CEO. "A unified and proactive global approach to embedding LEIs in digital certificates will rapidly extend the benefits of LEI adoption beyond regulatory use cases."

"We recognize the value in the industry collaboration intended to share knowledge and coordinate efforts and actions to promote usage of the LEI within digital certificates and more widely, across the digital identity industry. We are excited to play our part."
