Vendor Brief — Verifiable Credentials & Consent Management Platform
Affinidi Pte is a Singapore-based digital identity technology company with CEO Glenn Gore at the helm and backed by Temasek, focused on decentralised identity and trusted data exchange. Built on self-sovereign identity principles and global open standards, Affinidi enables individuals to securely manage, share and verify verifiable credentials through digital wallets. Beyond credential portability, Affinidi delivers Verifiable Trust Infrastructure (VTI) and Verifiable Trust Containers (VTC)—enabling the orchestration, packaging, and exchange of trusted data, credentials, and policies across organisational boundaries. This allows governments and enterprises to move from one-time verification to continuous, reusable, and policy-driven trust, supporting seamless onboarding, workforce mobility, and cross-agency collaboration while reducing verification costs and strengthening privacy and security.

Glenn Gore brings over two decades of enterprise technology leadership to Affinidi. As the former Chief Technology Officer for Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Asia Pacific, Glenn led AWS's technical strategy across the region — overseeing cloud architecture, enterprise adoption, and emerging technology programmes.
At Affinidi, Glenn is driving the vision of a "Holistic Identity" — a future where individuals own, control, and benefit from their personal data, rather than corporations. His enterprise background gives Affinidi credibility with large financial institutions and government agencies considering identity infrastructure at scale.
Affinidi offers a comprehensive suite of developer tools and enterprise products built on open identity standards.
Passwordless, privacy-preserving authentication using Verifiable Credentials. Replaces traditional username/password flows with cryptographically verified identity.
A personal data vault giving users sovereign control over their identity data. Users decide what to share, with whom, and for how long.
Granular consent management enabling organisations to request, record, and honour user consent in compliance with global privacy regulations.
Full SDK and API suite enabling rapid integration of Verifiable Credentials into existing applications — with sandbox environments for testing.
Enterprise-grade tooling for organisations to issue W3C-compliant Verifiable Credentials — from KYC verification to professional qualifications.
Real-time verification of Verifiable Credentials — checking cryptographic signatures and revocation status without contacting the original issuer.
Affinidi's platform maps directly to the key requirements identified in this proof of concept.
Affinidi's credential issuance tooling supports the identity setup stage — enabling accredited issuers to issue W3C-compliant credentials to user wallets.
The Consent Manager product directly integrates with ConsentX and the HR based PoC's consent request and management requirements — offering the user a granular, auditable consent record.
Affinidi supports selective disclosure of credential attributes — ensuring only the minimum necessary data is shared with relying parties.
With Temasek backing and Singapore headquarters, Affinidi has strong awareness of Asia Pacific regulatory environments including Australia's Digital Identity Act 2024.
Glenn Gore's AWS background ensures the platform is architected for enterprise scale — critical for deployment across large financial institutions.
As a Singapore-headquartered company, data residency and sovereignty requirements for Australian deployments will need to be confirmed and contractually addressed.
