EditorialStrong identity has a different type of appeal to the governments in emerging countries than in the developed world. On one hand, by implementing a state-of-the-art, biometrics based citizen ID scheme, developing countries are able to take a giant leap into creating modern civil registers within months rather than 60, 70 or 100 years. They are in fact in the position to quickly design and create a system to manage their relationship with the population. On the other, the governments in North America or in Europe, Japan or Korea will buy into a full fledged biometrics enrollment of their citizens for security issues, trying to combat criminal organizations in the world of transactions, with the support of bank authorities that might soon require a stronger and fast way to unequivocally identify the owners of bank accounts. Global war against terror will be progressively complemented with strong ID based measures to combat crime and illicit trade in the virtual and financial domains.

Focus on Citizen IDArticles
Searching for share Automatic ID technologies are converging as smart devices and the digital world interconnect. In fact, the smart phone, the Internet and its search engines and the biometrics that authenticate the users are creating a new sector. The supernovas of the Internet world are entering the fray, but does this mean a new race for market share in the ID industry or more collaboration? ID People reporters have gathered together some of the news and views surrounding this Pursuing candidacy Countries in the Balkans region are setting their sights on being recoginized by the European Commission as candidates for EU membership, but the reality is still a long way off Building an information society Strategies for eGovernment and IT security are key to any government’s digital service offerings to citizens. The right architecture, standards and methods need to be in place to manage and facilitate new technological advancements such as multifunction ID cards and secure portals for online services to citizens Testing data standards Biometrics is emerging as one of the over-arching autoID technologies for establishing and authenticating unequivocal identification. As biometric data must be clear, robust, tested, sufficient and implementable, the need for standards, protocols and testing is crucial Trust in the virtual world Challenges in identity management in today’s on-line world are by no means small, but governments, who have initiated digital identity programs, are yielding impressive results A foreign identity If someone is tired of their identity, for whatever reason, they can change it legally or use a ‘declared identity’ by joining the French Foreign Legion Migrating policy As certain countries on the southern shores of the Mediterranean undergo transition processes to democracy, immigration is expected to play a key role in the transformation for Euro-Mediterranean countries. Governments, economic stakeholders and civil society, are all taking notice and finding new strrategies to manage mobility Through the looking glass The EU is well positioned as a power in the globalized world for managing migration, but is it maximising its reputation as a good example of regionalisation, or just staring itself in the mirror? Securing growth Business growth and consolidation through mergers and acquisitions in all markets is a continuing phenomenon and one sector that has seen recent surges in this is that of automatic identification Looking forward Enrolment and identification of a nation’s citizens can boost security on many levels - from migration control to disaster relief for displaced persons Glimpsing the eGovernment future Consultant firm, Deloitte predicts eGovernemt usage will reach an inflection point in 2011. There are different drivers for deployment in industrialized countries compared to the developing world. Overall it is expected to accelerate if governments treat e-infrastrucutre projects as the pathway to growth with services centered around their citizens Connecting for development Goals through the use of telecommunications for improving the wellbeing of the world’s citizens are achievable, but progress requires dynamic, coherent interaction between policies, infrastructures, technologies, content, applications, innovation, governments, and people Tracing trade Leveraging on taxation to protect the economy and human rights is one way to progress towards a more sustainable and ethical trade, but to do so, it is necessary to orchestrate the contribution of the different stakeholders (governments and public institutions, manufacturers, consumers) A seamless future Plans to implement RFID into existing barcode systems pose major encoding method challenges for integrators Banking on identity Joining up the dots with ID to ensure governments, social program providers and citizens can interconnect |
