Electronic ID at work: issues and perspective
Abstract:
Electronic IDs have come of age, at least in Europe where every citizen possesses several of them. This poses several challenges, mainly related to control of personal data, interoperability, and compatibility with applications. The dualism between IDs provided by the government and by the private sector further adds to the complexity. All these issues will be discussed in this talk, with reference to current initiatives in the field.
