Recommendations
Title of recommendation Creation of digital identity at registration
Working Group Technology, Innovation and Competition
Workstream Identity and authentication
Audience for recommendation DFS operators
At time of registration, A DFS operator should create a digital identity for its customers, for use in both DFS trans-
actions and (where relevant) in identity assertion with external service providers.
This transactional identity should be derived from a state-issued foundational identity to ensure reliability,
flexibility and control. The transactional identity should be authenticated locally, not remotely, to ensure
maximum security and the authentication (local) should be separate from authorisation (centralised). Provision
should be made for periodic re-verification of identity attributes.
