Digital Identity New Zealand (DINZ) publishes and contributes to papers, research, reports and submissions that help advance an open, interoperable digital identity ecosystem for Aotearoa New Zealand—grounded in strong governance, legal certainty, and public trust.
DINZ sits at the intersection of technology, law, policy, and practice. Our role is not to promote a single solution, platform, or vendor, but to steward the conditions under which a trusted ecosystem can emerge and scale safely. We champion trust by design, not by promise—including privacy-enhancing approaches such as reference architecture, selective disclosure, and verifiable credentials, so people can prove only what is necessary without oversharing personal information.
