Its goal is to create a common, easy approach for citizens to access public services that is consistent across multiple service providers. To achieve this, it provides citizens with the ability to store their personal information in an Attribute (or personal data) Store which they own and control.

> Digital Identity Scotland (DIS) is a programme being run by the Scottish Government to develop a common approach to digital identity for Scottish digital public services.
|
||
>
|
||
> From the outset the programme stated the following objectives:
|
||
> 1. To develop a common approach to online identity assurance and authentication for access to public services, that supports the landscape and direction for digital public services delivery.
|
||
> 2. To develop a solution that is designed with and for members of the public (service users) and that stakeholders can support.
|
||
> 3. To develop a solution that works: is safe, secure, effective, proportionate, easy to use, and accessible; and forms part of public sector digital services.
|
||
> 4. To develop a solution where members of the public can be confident that their privacy is being protected.
|
||
> 5. To develop a solution that brings value for money and efficiencies in the delivery of digital public services |
