Identity-Management HOME
The eEurope 2005 Action Plan stressed that eGovernment identity management in the EU should be advanced by addressing interoperability issues as well as future needs, without ignoring differences in legal and cultural practices and the EU framework for data protection. Electronic identification was also one of the five topics defined in the Ministerial eGovernment Conference which took place on 24-25 November 2005 in Manchester and was coÔÇôorganised by the European Commission and the UK Presidency. Electronic identification adresses the issues of complexity, security, and public confidence around electronic authentication to access public services.
Aim
The aim of the Study on Identity Management in eGovernment is to build on expertise and initiatives in the EU Member States to progress towards a coherent approach in electronic identity management in eGovernment in the European Union, and
- To assess the impact of such initiatives on the policies supporting cross-border and cross-sector eGovernment services, e.g., to ease company registration, procurement, and citizen mobility;
- To provide a prospective analysis of possible initiatives and solutions at the European level;
- To provide information on identity technologies, related market developments and technical requirements;
- To propose a methodology to feed the framework described in the Good Practices Framework (Lot 1) with actual use cases of good practices in identity management and with their analysis.
