Information about the project
Project title *
Identity and Authentication Management
Title acronym
IAM
Description *
In the physical world, entities and organizations rely on physical credentials (ID cards, passports, or other documents) for the identification of individuals. Claiming a given identity, consists of presenting the credential to the service provider, who in turn authenticates the identity by comparing the individuals face to the photo printed on the document. Similarly, in order to safeguard the rights and privacy of individuals, as well as maintain the security and credibility of service providers in the virtual “Digital” realm (online), there must be a trusted mechanism to authenticate an identity claimed by someone requesting a particular service. Consequently, MoI has expanded its physical identity infrastructure to create a National Digital Identity Platform delivering a single and trusted identity, supported by scalable and robust architecture for both public and private sector service providers with the vision “Excellence in delivering Single, Trusted National Digital Identity for All”. IAM mission is to enable National Digital Identity solutions and services, to safeguard the Nation’s security, and facilitate online identity and authentication between people, service providers, and the government.
