A6: Liabilities

Address the Liability Concerns of Service Providers and Individuals

Other Information:

This Strategy defines an Identity Ecosystem where one entity vets and establishes identities and another entity accepts them. To date, the appropriate apportionment of liability has prevented the cross-sector issuance and acceptance of identity credentials. The Federal Government must address this barrier through liability reform in order to establish the multi-directional trust required by transaction participants. The Identity Ecosystem promotes models that mitigate liability to an acceptable level relative to the benefits associated with participation in the ecosystem. In addition, the Strategy will further sustain existing liability models and strengthen legislation to protect individuals and deter organizations from holding lawful individuals responsible for losses caused by unauthorized transactions.
