Governments of Canada and the Pan Canadian Trust Framework This framework is the next major step after the 2016 publication of the Pan-Canadian Trust Framework Overview by the Digital Identification and Authentication Council of Canada (DIACC) "The Treasury Board Secretariat of Canada (TBS) and Shared Services Canada (SSC) are seeking a standardized method to issue and rapidly verify portable digital credentials across many different contexts, thereby reducing human judgement error, increasing efficiency and ensuring digital credential veracity using cryptography." /government/canada/ /public-sector/canada/

The Framework

Background

  • The Public Sector Profile of the Pan-Canadian Trust Framework Working Group Close-Out Report Tim Bouma

    the PSP PCTF WG was an important vehicle for ensuring public sector communication and discussion across Canada

  • Trust Frameworks? Standards Matter Tim Bouma

    He points at the NIST documents about it Developing Trust Frameworks to Support Identity Federations published in 2018. He also points at the Canadian governments definition of standards.

    “a document that provides a set of agreed-upon rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or their results. Standards establish accepted practices, technical requirements, and terminologies for diverse fields.”  He goes on to highlight a lot of the work being done in Canada and where it all sits relative to being a standard - “In closing, there are lots of trust frameworks being developed today. But to be truly trusted, a trust framework needs to either apply existing standards or become a standard itself.”

  • Looking Ahead in 2020

    I believe it will be a breakout year for digital identity, and for the underlying technical infrastructure that we need to achieve our goals. I see the work progressing on two fronts: 1) Pan-Canadian Trust Framework, and, 2) Verifiable Credentials/Decentralized Identifiers Deployment.

  • Public Sector Profile of the Pan-Canadian Trust Framework Version 1.0 Recommendation Draft — Now available on GitHub

    The public sector profile of the PCTF reflects:

    • Evolution of the Identity Management Sub-Committee (IMSC) efforts.
    • The Need to Apply the PCTF for Assessments.
    • Policy Alignment.
  • IMSC Pan-Canadian Trust Framework Executive Summary

    This document describes Version 1.0 of the IMSC Pan-Canadian Trust Framework (PCTF). This framework is the next major step after the 2016 publication of the Pan-Canadian Trust Framework Overview by the Digital Identification and Authentication Council of Canada (DIACC), in collaboration with the Canadian public sector Identity Management Sub-Committee (IMSC) of the Joint Councils (JC).

  • IMSC Pan-Canadian Trust Framework - A summary of the latest iterations before our final version to be delivered on March 31st, 2019. The near to final document is here
  • The Pan-Canadian Trust Framework Using Prolog

    A declarative framework (such as Prolog) focuses on the what needs to be done, satisfied, relied on (i.e., proven to be true) versus how to do it. In our case, with the Pan-Canadian Trust Framework (PCTF), its the question of Can we rely on or accept a digital identity originating from a province or territory?

  • Pan-Canadian Trust Framework - Tim Bouma

    The Pan-Canadian Trust Framework is how we will formalize the approval and acceptance of a “trusted digital identity.”
