Summary

Digital identity is a complex subject that needs to be explained in layperson’s terms. This project aims to explore the key concepts behind digital identity and make them accessible to Canadian business leaders, who are responsible for managing the digital identity of their customers, employees and suppliers. The digital identity ecosystem is governed by many laws and regulations and includes the protection of personal information.

The outreach document produced by the project team is entitled “Guide d’encadrement sécuritaire de l’identité numérique” [Digital Identity Security Framework Guide]. It provides a definition of digital identity, the multiple approaches that drive it, its impact on companies, its enablers and benefits. This is the first version and will change over time as the Canadian ecosystem evolves.
