eGovernment & Digital ID-Cards

Based on Erik’s experience in the federal government (among which being co-author of the Belgian Personal ID-Card-blueprint) and Erik’s and Bavo’s role as IAM-program-manager and lead-/chief-architect of the Flemish government, they will share some of their ideas with you on:

• How government agencies and other organizations can benefit from an eID-card -- what are the possible wins and losses;
• How the Flemish government is taking a step-by-step process to rapidly stage its identity and access control management platform to enable a rich set of secure e-government applications and an increased level of security internally;
• What their experience is in building a distributed/generic ACM-environment in context of G2G, G2C, G2B, … ;
• How they play with digital identities, entitlements, roles, mandates, etc in a process-oriented architecture;
• All this, whilst reckoning with the existing (legacy) environment, whilst minimizing effort to change application-architectures, whilst honoring privacy-legislation and whilst maintaining and establishing a high level of user-friendliness.
