For most of us our ID is our email address, but email is an old and insecure protocol. It can be encrypted, but few people do that. Encryption keys are more secure and can use signatures to verify them. Services like Keybase make them easier to use.

Thank you for your comment @steevc :) I will look at Keybase, but I am refereing to things like CIVIC which assist with secure online identity verification
I'd not heard of CIVIC. I still see companies verifying identity with paper documents that can easily be manufactured. Cryptographic identity is much harder to fake.
