The milestone marks the successful completion of the first phase of the initiative, which aimed to develop a scalable and secure digital identity framework that can be easily integrated into various devices, applications, and services. The framework, known as AbrahamID, is designed to provide individuals and organizations with a unique digital identity that can be used to authenticate and authorize transactions, access services, and protect sensitive information.
"We are thrilled to announce this major milestone in our initiative to deliver digital identity to over one billion people," said Carlos Moreira, Founder and CEO of WISeKey.

The AbrahamID framework is designed to be highly scalable, secure, and user-friendly, making it accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds. The framework is built on a decentralized architecture, which allows for greater control and ownership by individuals and organizations.
The initiative is part of a broader effort to promote digital inclusion, financial inclusion, and cybersecurity globally. The partners believe that digital identity is a critical component of these efforts, as it enables individuals and organizations to participate fully in the digital economy and protect their personal and financial information.
The next phase of the initiative will focus on deploying the AbrahamID framework across various industries, including finance, healthcare, and education. The partners plan to work closely with governments, organizations, and individuals to promote the adoption of digital identity and ensure its secure and responsible use.
"We are excited to be a part of this historic initiative," said Dr. Mohamed El-Rashidi, CEO of Abraham House. "The AbrahamID framework has the potential to revolutionize the way we think about digital identity and its applications."
The partners believe that the successful deployment of the AbrahamID framework will have a profound impact on global economic development, financial inclusion, and cybersecurity.
