2.1: Private-Sector Elements

Implement the private-sector elements of the Identity Ecosystem.

Other Information:

The Strategy can only succeed if the private sector voluntarily implements the Identity Ecosystem and only if it makes business sense to do so The vast majority of the Identity Ecosystem will be built by the private sector, and almost all of the Identity Ecosystem’s subjects, relying parties, identity providers, attribute providers, and accreditation authorities will be in the private sector The private sector is already providing many services that, if they choose, could be a part of the Identity Ecosystem We encourage these providers to participate in the development of the Identity Ecosystem Framework and the implementation of the Identity Ecosystem, to ensure that both incorporate these providers’ knowledge and experience To support the private sector, the Federal Government will work to promote and incentivize both innovation in the marketplace and the private sector’s implementation of the Identity Ecosystem in accordance with the Identity Ecosystem Framework.
