This way, every time you access a service, you will be able to choose which digital identity to authenticate with and you will be in full control of your privacy.
You can handle all the identities you need.
In addition to Main Identity, you may need access to specific services for your business: for such reason IDer provides you with a section to create secondary digital identities relating to your business activities.
Additionally, if you want to access leisure services and you prefer to keep your real or corporate identity confidential, or you want to create a fantasy avatar, you can create one or several secondary identities, editable and erasable as needed.
The Personal Identity created during the registration process is critical to the proper functioning of the service. Your actual data allows you to associate or retrieve your profile on other devices, demand technical support and optimize your experience with IDer.
Before scanning the QR Code, select the digital identity with which you want to authenticate. Registration and access procedures work identically, regardless of the digital identity you choose to use.

security
The IDer QR Code differs from QR Codes commonly used due to the innovative security system that characterises it. IDer QR Code does not enclose any sensitive or personal data and is digitally signed, so it can not be used by third parties to compromise user’s safety.
Digital Signature is the digital equivalent of a traditional signature: it presents features of authenticity (guarantees the identity of the subscriber), integrity (ensures that the document has not been changed after the subscription) and ‘non-repudiation’ (meaning it gives full legal validity to the document, which therefore cannot be rejected by the subscriber).
IDer uses the digital signature within the QR Code in order to make it verifiable, unmistakable and impossible to counterfeit. It avoids forgery because, by scanning a QR Code IDer, you will always know who released it (IDer), excluding fraudulent intentions.
Data provided by users, which compose their digital identity, is fragmented and split into multiple encrypted databases; This way, nobody can rebuild the entire digital identity of a user from a single database, preventing the dangers of data theft.
Your data is stored in several decentralized and encrypted databases. Your information is only shared when the you want to access a service: in fact, you decide whether and when to share yor data, accepting the terms and conditions during the registration phase.
IDer acts as guardian of your digital identity. Yu own your data and you decide independently whether to give it to a partner company in order to join its services. The transfer of data is only made with your explicit consent.
IDer will never sell nor transfer the personal data of its users, except with their explicit consent. The IDer system uses the OAUTH2 Authorization Protocol, which requires the explicit consent of the user in order to transfer his data to a third party service.
A User behavioural data is shared only with the companies the user registered to, in an anonymous manner. IDer keeps data relating to users activities in encrypted and unmodified form.
Each user has full control of the history of his activities and can access this information from the “Tasks” section of the App.
