Alongside convenience, however, comes an ever-present risk: personal data belongs to users, but control lies in the hands of centralized storage systems. As a result, personal data is copied and stored across multiple locations, turning users into targets of data leaks and information abuse. Faced with this reality, advanced jurisdictions such as Singapore and the EU have shifted toward citizen-centric digital identity models. This technology allows users to prove a specific attribute, such as meeting age requirements or holding appropriate qualifications, without revealing their underlying personal data. With a nationwide implementation roadmap starting from 2026, NDAKey is expected to become a reliable digital identity infrastructure.
