Any Other Business

  • Colin commented that he will speak at the KNOW identity conference at the panel called "Mythbusters".

  • He presented the list of myths* (below) and asked the IAWG participants to choose their favorites, or add their favorite and a brief explanation to justify that choice/addition, and he would try to accommodate them in part of the panel.

 

*What myths are we trying to bust?

Terminology

  • Eligibility and Identity are interchangeable

  • Authentication is the same as identity assurance

    • Provision of biometric credentials is identity assurance

  • Certification and assurance are the same thing

  • Verification and Validation are the same things

  • Businesses have identities not identifiers (attributes)

  • KBVs are useless

Standards

  • Standards are not needed

  • Standards are too difficult

  • Specific elements not required (e.g. Activity history)

  • Standards need to define methods (biometric etc.) as opposed to outcomes

  • Standards only apply to public sector

  • Interoperability is not important

Schemes and regulations

  • The UK scheme (Verify) and the standards are the same thing

  • Verify is a failure (certification, assurance, standards are a success)

  • Standards are not helpful for AML and KYC at all

Relying Parties

  • Digital Identity sells itself (ignores RP requirements for efficiencies, channel shift, risk mitigation etc)

  • RPs need all the evidence attributes from the proofing

  • RP’s always need a high levels of assurance/having a lower level of assurance isn’t always a bad thing

  • The identity attributes cause matching issues in the RP

  • IDP success is unrelated to RP service design
