Trust is what makes us human. 🔐
Our very own Justin Soong joined David Lee on The Identity Jedi Show to chat about digital identity, trust, and the technology making authentication more secure.
From asymmetric cryptography and passkeys to AI agent guardrails and the bigger picture of building trust in a digital world, there's plenty of good conversation to unpack.
Here's a sneak peek! To catch the full conversation, head over to YouTube. 👇

We don’t think businesses should have to predict which authentication technology will win.
Passkeys are already changing how people authenticate, digital credentials are changing how trusted information can be shared and biometrics, device signals and other methods all have a role to play. And we know this won’t be the end of the list.
That’s why we’re building Authsignal around orchestration.
The goal is to give businesses one place to bring these methods together, decide what to use and when, and introduce what comes next without rebuilding the identity stack underneath it.
The future of authentication will keep evolving. Your architecture should give you room to evolve with it.
We're giving AI agents more autonomy. But are we ready to trust their judgment?
Most conversations about agentic AI focus on capabilities and guardrails. But there's another piece of the puzzle: what happens when an agent needs to make a judgment call on our behalf?
Following instructions is one thing. Understanding intent, knowing when to exercise discretion, and establishing accountability is another.
In his latest article, Justin Soong explores three conditions that need to come together before AI agents can operate with genuine autonomy:
🔹 Judgment: Can an agent interpret intent rather than just follow instructions?
🔹 Guardrails: Where do we draw the line between flexibility and control?
🔹 Liability: Who takes responsibility when an agent makes the wrong call?
As AI agents take on more responsibility, these questions are becoming harder to ignore.

🚨 Canada's latest cybersecurity warning puts voice phishing in the spotlight.
Attackers are impersonating IT support staff over the phone, exploiting trust to gain access to sensitive accounts and systems.
It's a timely reminder that phishing isn't limited to suspicious emails or fraudulent links. Sometimes, all it takes is a convincing voice on the other end of the line.
For organizations, that means looking at how identities are authenticated and verified across the entire account lifecycle, from login and account recovery to contact centres.
We unpack Canada's latest advisory and what it means for building stronger authentication strategies

The next era of financial services is being shaped by AI agents. But as they move from answering questions to taking action, how do we make sure they operate securely, responsibly and within the right boundaries?
The Secure Agentic Finance Runtime (SAFR) framework offers a new approach to governing AI-driven financial actions, bringing together agent identity, policy controls and real-time decision-making.
It's an important step towards making agentic finance secure, accountable and scalable, without slowing down innovation.

Supporting one verifiable digital credential is the easy part.
What about five wallets? Different standards? Different markets?
And what happens when those VDCs need to sit alongside passkeys, biometrics and the authentication methods your customers already use?
Standardizing the credential was never the whole problem. Making all of this work together is where things get interesting.
That’s a big part of what Authsignal solves.
One drop-in authentication layer where businesses can accept VDCs and orchestrate different authentication and verification methods without rebuilding their underlying identity stack every time something new comes along.
Because there will always be something new.

We’ve landed in Carlsbad and Authenticate U.S. 2026 is underway. 👋
The Authsignal team is here for three days of conversations around authentication, passkeys, digital identity and where the industry is heading next.
If you’re at the event, come find us at booth 213. Meet the team, grab a hat and get a look at some of the latest from Authsignal, including our new Digital Credential Verification capabilities.

What if proving who you are didn’t mean handing over the same identity information again and again?
We’re moving from a world where businesses store and manage a customer’s identity to one where the customer can carry a cryptographically signed credential and present it when needed.
That opens up a very different way of thinking about digital identity.
Instead of asking how businesses can collect and verify more information, digital credentials create an opportunity to ask how little information they actually need.
Less data collected. Less data stored. More control in the hands of the customer. That’s one of the reasons we’re excited about where digital credentials are heading.

That’s still the reality for a lot of businesses.
Adding a new authentication method or changing how a customer is challenged can mean going deep into existing applications and identity infrastructure.
But authentication is changing quickly. Passkeys, digital credentials, biometrics and new verification methods are all becoming part of the picture.
The architecture around authentication needs to be able to move just as quickly. That means giving teams the flexibility to introduce and orchestrate new methods without rebuilding the systems underneath them.

Growth is good. Outgrowing your authentication experience isn’t.
Simplicity needed authentication that could keep pace with a growing member base, support stronger security and still feel simple for the people using it.
With Authsignal, the team rolled out passkeys, biometrics and adaptive MFA across web and mobile, with step-up protection for higher-risk actions. All on its existing environment.
Learn how the rollout came together in the case study, linked in the comments below 🔗

Big news for Authsignal: we’re now an approved digital identity supplier on the NZ Government Marketplace. 🇳🇿
As digital identity becomes a bigger part of how public services are delivered, government agencies need a simpler way to access trusted authentication and verification capabilities.
That’s where the Government Digital Delivery Agency’s (GDDA) new Digital Identity channel comes in, creating a standard procurement path for approved digital identity providers.
Authsignal is listed across:
→ Authentication Services
→ Binding Services
→ Verification Support Services
For agencies, this creates a clearer path to modernise authentication and verification while building on the infrastructure already in place.
It’s another step toward digital identity becoming core infrastructure for secure, connected public services in New Zealand.

What if verifying a mobile number didn’t require an OTP at all?
Our launch of Number Verify with Aduna has been featured in TechPartner, bringing carrier-backed Number Verification into Authsignal.
Number Verify confirms possession of a mobile number using Network-Based or SIM Card-based verification, removing the need for customers to receive and enter an SMS OTP when verification succeeds.
Authentication is moving toward experiences that are more intelligent, more contextual and less visible to the customer. Number Verify is another step in that direction.
