Federal Digital Identity
One of the key tools needed for effective implementation of e-government services is the ability to authenticate the identity of citizens online. However, widespread adoption of the technologies will only occur if individuals trust that strong privacy and security protections have been built into authentication systems.
Currently, there is a push for federated identity management for government - relying on third parties that users already have relationships with online. As these pilots move forward, CDT is pushing for adoption of frameworks and principles that will protect user privacy while enabling government delivery of services online.
