Why it matters
People cannot confidently trust digital services or information if they cannot verify who or what they are interacting with.
What we enable
Digital Trust Canada enables the trust infrastructure that supports secure and reliable digital interactions for individuals and organizations. This includes registries and trust anchors that make trusted information discoverable, verifiable, and interoperable across systems and jurisdictions.
These foundations enable:
- confidence in the authenticity and provenance of digital information
- digital credentials that allow people to share only what is necessary, preserving privacy and choice
- secure access to services without centralizing control
- federation across organizations and borders while respecting sovereignty
Strong trust infrastructure empowers individuals, reduces fraud, and supports Canada’s participation in trusted global digital ecosystems
