Identity is best solved by a village that connects the best capabilities of the public and private sectors to grow economic opportunities. Governments hold the "book of names" for people and organizations that sets a legal foundation for identity verification. People and organizations perform most of their transactions outside of government contexts. These transactions form the basis of functional or "street" identity. The private sector needs to rely on the public sector for legal identity while the public sector benefits from interoperability of meaningful private sector assets. This village approach helps government and businesses to better serve Canadians. The ability to resolve foundational (legal) and functional (street) identity sets the stage for a user-centered design that puts privacy, security, and convenience of use at the forefront of impactful innovation. Join this session to gain insights from Canada's strategic approach to unlock digital identity that improves lives while securing success in the global digital economy.
