Introduction
In the last few years, the need for digital identity has risen as a strong driving force behind network architecture design,
service provisioning, and content handling, billing and charging. Digital identity is expected to be a powerful tool for users
to access unlimited digital resources via a limited number of trusted relationships, and for providers to offer these resources
across the different layers of communication systems, administrative domains and even legal boundaries. However, the lack of a
common view on digital identity across these different layers has so far resulted in independently developed and therefore often
inconsistent identity management frameworks as well as incompatible applications.
Key challenges towards the development of a more consistent approach are to tackle the conflicting requirements of privacy,
identification and security. This workshop, a Joint ITU-T/EU IST Daidalos Project Workshop, intended to investigate different approaches, analyze gaps in today’s standards,
identify future challenges and find common goals which will provide direction to the work currently being undertaken in the
different projects and standards development organizations (SDOs).
