3: Confidence and Participation

Enhance confidence and willingness to participate in the Identity Ecosystem.

Other Information:

Individuals and organizations must have confidence in the Identity Ecosystem and be willing to participate in it. This Strategy will promote confidence via mechanisms that address privacy protection, data integrity, and data confidentiality associated with identity solutions. The Strategy will also address awareness and education of both the risks associated with poor identification and authentication approaches and the ways in which identity solutions mitigate those risks. The Federal Government is already doing much work in this area, and the intention is to leverage existing activities to the greatest extent possible. The Federal Government will couple messaging on general awareness with the information necessary to drive long-term changes in behavior. The knowledge and awareness activities should be mindful of the different perspectives of individuals, government, and the private sector. This goal seeks to address the following barriers in the current environment: * Concerns regarding personal privacy and the potential for unauthorized collection, aggregation, use, or release of identity information. * Concerns regarding the protection of intellectual property. * General lack of awareness regarding trusted digital identities.

Objective(s):

3.1: Privacy and Transaction Security
