Presented at the European e-Identity Management Conference 2011 in Tallinn, Estonia: Reflections on current Government approaches to Trust, federation and identity management. What needs to change as we move forward. We have come a long way with PKI, federation standards, trust frameworks, etc. but are we there yet? Where is there still work to be done and mindsets to be changed?

13. No organisation is an Island anymore

14. But the approach to Identity and Access management is still rooted in industrial age thinking Architecture and mindsets are locked into the identification-oriented paradigm

17. Validation-oriented paradigm (i.e. the user can prove that he represents a pseudonym via a secret key). Instead of all applications identifying the users and coupling local data to the identity (e.g. SSN), data is coupled to virtual identities (pseudonyms), which are subject to validation
