Ditto

Ditto is the rebranded identity of Uniken, a two-decade-old authentication vendor whose REL-ID platform was previously recognized by Frost & Sullivan for mobile-first identity and access control. In March 2026, the company relaunched entirely as Ditto, repositioning around cryptographic, privacy-preserving identity rather than traditional password- and OTP-based authentication — a shift timed to the EU’s eIDAS2 regulation and the rollout of the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet framework, which pushes banks, telecoms and other regulated businesses toward reusable, user-controlled digital credentials.

The platform is split into four components: Ditto ID for onboarding and mobile-security orchestration, Ditto Verify for document and biometric identity verification, Ditto Protect for behavior-based mobile threat defense, and Ditto Authenticate, which implements the company’s patented split-key cryptography for passwordless sign-in. The underlying claim is that zero-knowledge-proof techniques let a business confirm an identity attribute (age, account status, KYC completion) without the underlying personal data ever being exposed or centrally stored — a materially different security posture than credential-vault-based IAM.

Ditto’s legacy customer base runs through system integrators and core-banking platforms — Temenos, Infosys Finacle, LTI Mindtree and Orion Innovation are listed as partners — reflecting Uniken’s original go-to-market in India and Latin American retail banking before expanding into the U.S., EMEA and APAC. For CISOs at banks, payment providers and telecoms, Ditto is worth watching less for its market share today than for its early, patent-backed bet on decentralized identity architecture ahead of EU regulatory mandates that will force many of its prospective customers to adopt something like it regardless.
