- Surviving in the Digital eID World
- European Journal of ePractice no. 14. January/February 2012. "While identity information is definitely the property of the individual, the information is increasingly shared across social networks, commercial services and Government, with or without the individual's consent. How can we, as individuals, survive in the digital identity world while still being able to utilise our identity information as an asset to our own advantage in a controlled way? How can society - through legal measures, culture and technology - contribute to an environment where privacy and ownership to personal information are respected? Although the term ‘claim’ is not necessarily used in the papers in this ePractice Journal issue, a claims-based approach is actually the foundation for many of them. Any piece of identity information is released to relying parties as a claim, supported by evidence of certain strength, i.e. assurance level. The relying party must assess the assurance level and determine whether or not this is sufficient to accept the claim. In this interaction, a fundamental property should be that only the necessary information is released; enough to serve the purpose of the individual but not more. These principles should be at the core of the future Single European Digital Identity Community..."

- Requirements for Accepting Externally-Issued Identity Credentials - in pdf format (170kb)
- (This document requires the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader). From - Steven VanRoekel, Federal Chief Information Officer. Memorandum for Chief Information Officers of Executive Departments and Agencies, Office of management and Budget, October 6, 2011. "As we work to achieve a more responsive and cost-effective government, it is essential that we identify opportunities to both improve services that deliver results for the American people, ensure their information is private and secure online and eliminate duplication. One such opportunity is in the area of identity management. Currently, members of the public and business partners maintain dozens of identity credentials to interact with the government online, and agencies maintain duplicative backend systems. To decrease the burden on users of our systems, and reduce costs associated with managing credentials, agencies are to begin leveraging externally-issued credentials, in addition to continuing to offer federally-issued credentials..."

- Electronic Identity Verification Bill - 323-1 2011, Government Bill
- New Zealand Legislation: Bills. Parliamentary Counsel Office, 2011. "The purpose of this Bill is to regulate the administration and application of the Electronic Identity Verification Service. The service is designed to provide individuals with the option of a quick, easy, and secure way to verify their identity via the Internet (ie, to a standard comparable with presenting a passport at a counter). It will allow individuals to access a range of services from authorised agencies, where it is necessary for those agencies to have a degree of confidence in individuals' identity. If an individual chooses to apply to use the Electronic Identity Verification Service, an electronic record of a small amount of personal information will be created and held by the service, which is operated by the Department of Internal Affairs. The individual will be able to authorise the release of the stored identity information to an authorised agency. His or her identity will then be verified using an identifier or code, derived from the stored electronic record, that is unique to the authorised agency. This approach is designed to prevent unauthorised use and sharing of the information by agencies. This process could occur via a computer at an agency’s counter, for face-to-face transactions. The service is designed to allow people to avoid the cost and inconvenience of repeatedly having to prove their identity in person to different agencies, and avoids the need for those agencies to invest in their own online identity verification infrastructure and capability. The service will provide a secure and consistent way for agencies to verify the identity of a person interacting with it while being user-focused and protective of individuals' privacy. An individual's use of the service is optional. Other ways of interacting with agencies remain available..."
