MOSIP on AWS: Transforming digital identity for modern governments

The article discusses how MOSIP (Modular Open-Source Identity Platform), in collaboration with AWS, is transforming digital identity systems for governments, addressing critical challenges of identification for millions of people globally.

• Approximately 850 million people lack official identification, hindering access to essential services
• Cloud-based digital identity systems offer significant advantages over traditional on-premises solutions
• MOSIP on AWS provides scalable, secure, and cost-effective digital identity platforms
• Deployment options include hybrid, split security, sensitive data protection, and AWS Outposts models
• Cost savings range from 60-70% in upfront costs and 40-50% in ongoing operational expenses

The solution enables governments to modernize identification systems, improve service delivery, enhance citizen inclusion, and focus on public services rather than infrastructure management.
