> [...]\
> **Potential future scenarios:**
> * **_Platform Identity_**\
> A walled garden environment where identity is used to keep the user on the platform (or group of affiliated platforms). The platform identity is made available for use in other contexts but the aim is always to make the platform the center of the user's digital life. Data about the user will be obtained from many sources and aggregated within the platform for its benefit. The commercial model is driven by the commercial model of the platform
> * **_Operator Networks_**\
> Groups of operators, typically from regulated industries such as financial services or telecoms, form consortia to enable the sharing of identity and attribute data. Schemes are established around each consortium which govern all aspects of the identity and attribute sharing network. This includes requirements for participation, fees, and liability. Identity and attribute data are obtained from known, vetted sources. The network still places a strong emphasis on privacy, allowing the user to have transparency and control of what data is shared and with whom.
> * **_Self-Sovereign Identity_**\
> Identity and attribute data is funneled through a wallet or agent employed by the user. Open and standardized frameworks allow the user to obtain verifiable and potentially trusted data from the parties it interacts with and share that data with other parties. Some parties are happy to provide verifiable data to the user without being paid. For other parties, commercial frameworks that add value to the data (e.g. by providing liability) will be developed potentially outside of the technical infrastructure used to share data
> * **_Open API_**\
> Data about the user is made available to the user through standardized open APIs. These APIs are provided by organizations in many sectors including financial services, energy, education, and health. They provide access to all types of data including transactional data as well as identity attributes that the user may wish to assert. The APIs enable the user to establish many independent bilateral links between the services it uses. Some APIs will be regulated and non-commercial, others will be commercial. Aggregators seek to simplify the ecosystem by integrating with multiple service providers.

* [Report](https://diacc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Understanding-Face-Biometrics_Feb2020.pdf)
> As we start a new decade in 2020, the dominant method for authentication is still a password - the weakest link in the entire security model. The legacy of passwords is that they are targeted by hackers as the simplest way to break into a company to disrupt – or even worse, hold ransom - the targeted victim. Whether exposed from inside or outside the organization, passwords are the Achilles-heel in the security wall. **Why?** *Because passwords can be... Forgotten Written down Lost Shared Sold Stolen* And they are invisible, and that allows a hacker or fraudster to take over an identity.
>
> The biometric world offers a spectrum of options including iris, DNA, heartbeat, voice, gait, palm, and of course, fingerprint. However, these biometric options are not typically embedded in public identity documents, unless you happen to be a convicted felon and have been fingerprinted by the police.

> CitizenOneTM includes a citizen identity and access management capability but also delivers a set of common enterprise services to the citizen that significantly improve their online service interaction. Along with brokering the connection between the citizen and digital service, CitizenOneTM secures the citizen's information and enhances consent and privacy management. This is done by providing the ability to "opt- into" the use of a digital service and allowing service providers to set discrete policy that a citizen must meet and accept to access the desired service through the digital channel.

> Mainly used to secure areas in New Brunswick’s Saint John Airport, we have expanded this line to now feature an optional body temperature module for fever screening. A common symptom of COVID-19, up to 80 per cent of individuals suffering from the virus may have a higher than normal temperature, making temperature a critical factor to measure. To enable fully automated detection of elevated body temperatures, OARO has integrated the latest generation of smart thermal cameras with our AI-based facial recognition technology.

Its launch marks the shift from the framework’s development into official operation and will begin alpha testing by public and private sector members in Canada. The alpha testing will inform the launch of DIACC’s PCTF Voila Verified Trustmark Assurance Program (“Voila Verified”), set to launch next year.

> “The pandemic has pushed digital adoption five years into the future.

The notion of leveraging a risk-based model is highly applicable as the application of LOAs today are best determined by performing a threat or risk analysis. The risk-based model must address the likelihood and impact of something happening, and the appropriate mitigation approach.

> LOA is essential in determining liability and risk; offering a clear understanding how a Subject (customer or citizen) and a Relying Party (company or government service) can validate that they are who they say they are.
