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.

- Digital id transformation pillars 2016-05
Ecosystem Principles The DIACC believes it is critical to protect and promote Canadian values and perspectives in the digital economy. The DIACC uses the following principles as guidance to support our mission and vision.
Principles of a digital identity ecosystem for Canada, and solutions within:
🔑 Robust, secure, and scalable
🔓 Implement, protect, and enhance Privacy by Design
👥 Inclusive, open, and meets broad stakeholder needs
📂 Transparent in governance and operation
🎛️ Provide Canadians choice, control, and convenience
🖥️ Built on open, standards-based protocols

👐 Cost effective and open to competitive market forces
📂 Able to be independently assessed, audited and subject to enforcement
🗄️ Minimize data transfer between authoritative sources and will not create new identity databases - Building Canadas digital future 2015-05 PDF
Toronto, May 6, 2015 – Imagine a world where Canadians can go online to access their medical records, open a bank account, sign a waiver for their children’s hockey camp, or even use their phone to vote. The introduction of a robust, secure, scalable and privacy-enhancing digital identification ecosystem will decrease costs for governments, consumers, and business while improving service delivery and driving GDP growth.

- Understanding face biometrics for identity verification and authentication 2020-04-27
- Report
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.
