Digital Identity is the focal point of the latest Westminster Forum policy conference, for which key stakeholders and policymakers in the biometrics and digital ID fields came together to discuss the rollout and use of digital identities and identity verification services in the UK by businesses, public bodies and consumers. Topics ranged from regulatory matters such as the Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework, to challenges with digital identity rollout, to digital inequality and inclusion.
Regulation and trust frameworks, Beduschi says, are “quite useful as a way of navigating the complexities of the digital identity landscape, because they provide these agreed set of rules and standards” by which all stakeholders must abide. She points to the pan-Canadian trust framework and work in the EU on digital wallets as solid examples.
