Pub­lic Sec­tor / Dig­i­tal Cit­i­zen ID

Back­ground

Insti­tu­tions around the world have seen a mas­sive shift toward dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion with­in the last cou­ple of years. And the pan­dem­ic has only accel­er­at­ed the government’s dig­i­tal change efforts and sped up the pace of innovation.

At the cen­ter of all online activ­i­ties oper­at­ed by the admin­is­tra­tion are the dig­i­tal iden­ti­ty and the pos­si­bil­i­ty of pro­vid­ing evi­dence of who is apply­ing for the ser­vice. Each con­tract agree­ment pre­sumes that the con­trac­tu­al part­ners can iden­ti­fy them­selves unequiv­o­cal­ly and legal­ly. Thus, a dig­i­tal iden­ti­ty would ensure such an online iden­ti­fi­ca­tion. Such an eID func­tion would be a major game-chang­er with­in the pub­lic ser­vice sector.

Users can move around the Inter­net safe­ly and more freely by using this so-called eID func­tion. This would pave the way for a whole pack­age of cit­i­zen ser­vices or bank ser­vices that could be now oper­at­ed online.

Chal­lenge

Pret­ty much any appli­ca­tion build to sup­port pub­lic ser­vices is bound to store sen­si­tive data of some kind, whether it is the organization’s or the user’s.

A provider of a one-time eIDAS plat­form aspires to expand his ser­vices to cre­ate a val­i­dat­ed mul­ti-use dig­i­tal ID accept­ed by pub­lic ser­vice agen­cies. How­ev­er, the oper­a­tion of such ser­vices on a scal­able lev­el is expen­sive and bound to count­less secu­ri­ty risks — most notably pro­vid­ing a cloud-based ser­vice, while mak­ing sure that the data own­er­ship is not com­pro­mised in the process.

Solu­tion: Dig­i­tal Cit­i­zen ID

enclaive’s con­fi­den­tial com­put­ing tech­nol­o­gy can help here. enclaive’s dig­i­tal cit­i­zen ID is built on our con­fi­den­tial cloud and attes­ta­tion ser­vice. The gen­er­at­ed proven ID is kept in the cloud with­out pos­si­bly unau­tho­rized third-par­ty access, offer­ing a uni­fied inter­face to many KYC-linked ser­vices across the local gov­ern­ment and adja­cent val­ue add capabilities.

enclaive’s Con­fi­den­tial Con­tain­ers come with a series of inbuilt fea­tures to address the above chal­lenges, with the fol­low­ing as most notable:

• Data remains encrypt­ed even when in use to retain data own­er­ship where it belongs
• Enabling the use of dig­i­tal iden­ti­ty for online ser­vices with­out risk­ing data breaches 
• Pos­si­bil­i­ty to move around the Inter­net safe­ly and more freely while ensur­ing data sovereignty 
• Attain the nec­es­sary secu­ri­ty, pri­va­cy, and data sov­er­eign­ty com­pli­ance by design
