The identity forum has been convened by the Safeguarding Digital Identity research project (http://www.thei3p.org) and other Digital Identity thought leaders.

Several goals in the Obama-Biden technology agenda articulated at change.gov relate to our research project and the occupy the mindshare of thought leaders, especially: Create a Transparent and Connected Democracy and Lower Health Care Costs by Investing in Electroninc Information Technology Systems.

The goal of the identity forum is to compile and present to the Obama-Biden administration a prioritized list of issues, problems and questions regarding the use of Digital Identity as a key enabler of how to Create a Transparent and Connected Democracy and Electronic Health Care IT Systems that are open, effective, privacy preserving and secure.

On January 15, 2009 from 1-5PM (Boston time) at the MIT Media Lab, a Digital Identity panel (as well as others) will convene to finalize what we’re presenting and how we’re presenting it to the administration (refer to http://ecitizenfoundation.org). You can use the identity forum to virtually be there.

Comment on question: How can personal Digital Identity attributes be leveraged to personalize ...

Comment: Methods should be employed to allow secure authentication to verify citizenship, but allow citizens to selectively disclose other personal attributes as needed to enable personalization. This allows citizens to control personalization, not agencies.

Comment on question: How can Digital Identity be leveraged to effectively enable citizen/government interaction without using a National ID card system?

Comment: Focus on enabling federated interaction between state-based or agency-based Identity providers, rather than depend on a single master repository, which is vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.

Comment on Question: What level of control ...

Comment: Citizens should have control over disclosure over detailed attributes (e.g. address, height, weight, marriage status, etc.). Agencies could use attributes they assign (e.g. SSN, drivers licences number, etc.). Attributes for an individual unique to one agency should not be released to other agencies without citiz

New IdM technologies/concepts will be needed to accomplish tech goals while also respecting the public trust/privacy
- The need is not likely to be addressed through the normal process of commercial product evolution
- A broad, foundationally-oriented research effort is required; it should range from theoretical work to pragmatic experimental studies
- The outcomes might help the gov't develop appropriate standards; today, lacking needed technologies, stds will be premature and may be flawed

The secure embedding of identity management technologies into the broadly deployed public technology base is a huge practical challenge:
- New ideas don%u2019t stand on their own; they need to interoperate with the commercial base
- But the commercial base is insecure, unreliable, and many aspects scale poorly
- Great theoretical visions or new technologies often break when mapped into real-world settings

Given your intention to invest in the modernization of America's Health IT infrastructure and your own historic use of Web technologies for community development, I assume you are supportive of "eGovernement", BUT who will you turn to for implementation? Is there someone close enough to you who is also close enough to the issues of Digital Identity, open standards, interoperability, assurance frameworks, etc. to enable you to "go where no administration has gone before" with open eGovernment?

1) Do you assume individuals will assert their own identity or will it be done by a third party?
2) If a third party, who do you believe will play that role?
3) What will be their "standard of care" responsibility be to relying parties?
4)How will they package their identity assertions, i.e. form factor?
5) How will you manage transient trust (cross domain)?

Last item of six or so major bullets:
Identity management is absolutely fundamental. However, it can be effectively implemented and used only if the systems in which it is embedded are trustworthy and operationally sound. Thus, future efforts in identity management must be carried out in the context of efforts to strengthen our information infrastructures.
