Identity Management &
Information Assurance:
Keys to the Kingdom?
EURIM-APGIF
Parliamentary Showcase
on Identity Management and Information Assurance
Held in
the
Attlee Suite, Portcullis House
on
Tuesday 10 June 2008 4pm to 8pm
Introduced by Margaret Moran MP
and Philip Dunne MP
Recent high profile losses of personal data have placed
millions of citizens at risk of identity fraud and destroyed trust
in the ability of government (even more than the private sector) to
safeguard the information in its care. Meanwhile the amount of
personal data collected and stored grows daily, with the objective
of improving public services, health care, welfare, consumer
protection and national security, and we increasingly depend on
digital identities to buy, sell, travel and even enter buildings.
Large organisations and whole industries have operated successful,
secure, cross-boundary identity management and data sharing systems
for many years, and operational examples will be on display at the
Showcase. The Public Sector can learn from their experience and help
restore confidence in the online world.
The
showcase was introduced by the joint hosts, Margaret Moran MP
(EURIM Chair) and Philip Dunne MP (Parliamentary Chair of the
EURIM Personal Identity and Data Sharing Group). Nick Palmer MP
spoke briefly about his exercise for Meg Hillier, (the minister with
responsibility for ID cards) to look at industry applications. The
Guest speakers were Martin Kearsley, Strategy Director,
VocaLink and Duncan Hine,
Director of Integrity, Identity and Passport Service.
The
event was designed to enable Parliamentarians and invited guests to
learn about practical experience with the people and processes, not
just the technology used to support these. Demonstrations of proven,
large-scale, secure identity management and information assurance
systems from both private and public sectors were provided by:
Alcatel-Lucent; Atos Origin and Government Gateway; BT; CSC
DeLaRue, Experian, Edentity, Fujitsu, IdenTrust
Identity and Passport Service, Sapior and VocaLink
