Understanding Key Digital Identity Terms

Enrollment Proofing/Verification

Attributes/Claims Identifiers - Directed, End-Points

Credentials Authentication - AuthN

Multi-Factor Authentication - MFA Authorization - AuthZ

Enrollment Technology Thing

Process Policy

Procedures &

Enrollment: The processes that an institution/organization uses to ‘onboard”and create an identity for a particular individual.

Enrollment —> Credential Issuance

Proofing / Verification Triangulation

Identity Proofing or Verification: The processes used to check the veracity of identity claims about a person. This is often done in an enrollment process.

Attributes ClaimsAttributes and Claims can be both self asserted by a

person or ascribed to a person by an institution.

IdentifierIdentifies are pointers at people.

Within institutional or network systems these are often numbers that point particular people.

Identifiers ClaimsSingle String Pairs

Identifiers link things together and enable correlation.

They can be endpoints on the internet.

A claim is by one party about another or itself.

It does not have to be linked to an identifier.

Proving you are over 18 for example and not giving your real name.

Directed IdentifierThese is a types of identifies enable individuals to use different identifiers for different contexts.

The BC Citizen Services card is “one card” but when one uses it in a Healthcare content it has a different identifier then when used within the context of a drivers license. So the identifier is “directed” and only used in one context.

Network End-Point Identifier

Identifiers that are also Network End-Points include Phone numbers

e-mail addresses

Authentication can be performed with the end-point. That is you can prove you are in position of the end-

point with a challenge - such as a being sent code to a phone and then entering it into the site asking to confirm

that you are in control of it.

Authentication AuthN

What you Know (A Password, OneTime Password)

What you Have (A Credential)

What you Are (Biometric)

Emerging: What you Do (Behavior)

Multi-Factor Authentication MFA

What you Have (a bank card) and What you know (The PIN #)

What you Know (Password and What you Are (A Biometric shared at Enrollment)

Using more then one form of Authentication.

Authorization AuthZ

This is very different then Authentication which is just checking that an individual is the same one who

presented themselves with the credentials before.

What are you permitted (authorized) to do in a system?

Health Care

Social InsuranceTaxation

Citizen Identity The power relationship between the citizen / subject and government entities is NOT the same as the power relationship between the employer and their employee.

The systems used for enterprise identity management CAN NOT be picked up and plopped down on citizen <—> government identity management contexts. It has to work differently.

Enterprise provisioning and termination is clearly not the same as the government issuance of a birth certificate and death certificate.

How do people “get” User Centric Digital Identity today?

Google profilesYahoo! profiles

FacebookLinkedIn

Hack it together with handles from web mail providers or on a service like Twitter

Challenge with e-mail addresses as identitiesthe communications token is the “ID”


What are our rights in these commercial spaces governed by Terms of Service?

How are we “citizens” in private space?

In physical life we have protection of our physical self - people will be prosecuted for harming us. What is the equivalent in online spaces?

Freedom to not be “erased” under TOS


Identifier side:

Own their own domain name.

Have a blog?Run an openID server?

Claims based side:

Almost impossible.

Little relying party adoption(Places where 3rd partyor self generated claims

will be accepted)

Little client side app adoption

How do people “get” User Centric Digtial Identity?


Identifier side: Claims based side:

Emerging Today: How do people “get” Self-Sovereign Digital Identity today?


Proposed: Distributed IDentity -> DID

Distributed Ledger Technology

Emerging Networks for their Exchange

ID/DataWeb

W3C: Verified Claims Working Group

Personal Data Banks / Stores / Vaults / etc….

What is the context for people gathering?
