Watching @jgrantindc open today's conference on identity & security Zoom instead of being in person at the 2022 #IDPolicyForum .

As he (& @CISAgov!) say, identity is a national critical function in 2022.

The pandemic made the capacity to verify identity online a critical need.
When I first logged on in 1993, no one knew if I was a dog: newyorker.com/video/watch/th…

In 2011, the @ObamaWhiteHouse invested in verifying identity online:

In 2022, federal, state & city agencies are all figuring out how verify identity for aid & services. Image
@ObamaWhiteHouse 2015 was not the year that the US government got online identity right: finance.yahoo.com/news/s/2015-mi…
But this pandemic has been a forcing function for states that needed to verify identity online. Dozens chose @IDme. Now the IRS is doing so, too:

A rant about #trust following the terrific discussions at #IDPolicyForum yesterday and today.
#digitalidentity
THREAD ...
1/9 "Trust" of course is talked of everywhere. In #IDPolicyForum, a speaker bounced around from cryptographic trust, hardware roots of trust, and an anecdote about trusting the conference organiser because they were introduced by a mutual friend.
2/9 The trouble with this discourse and widespread use of the label is that it over-states what cryptographic "trust" is all about. It inflates lay peoples’ expectations of what #digitalidentity technology delivers.

'What should Biden do in #DigitalIdentity?' panel, @RossNodurft carefully draws a distinction between [the prospect of a] "National ID" versus a "national approach to digital identity". Hear hear!! #IDPolicyForum
In Australia, any mention of national approaches to digital identity as national infrastructure sadly gets bogged down in the spectre of a dreaded National ID. #IDPolicyForum
MyPOV: One way to position a national *approach* without scaring people with a national ID is to remember how retail banking is standardised. All bank cards work in an identical fashion but each is different. There is no single bank account. #IDPolicyForum

Up next @RepBillFoster of the #FosterBill #IDIA2020 and his optimism for congress to make policy progress on #digitalidentity for American citizens. #IDPolicyForum
'90% of Americans have access to smartphones' -- @RepBillFoster #IDpolicyforum #digitalidentity #infostructure
Congress now overwhelmingly supports a national unique health identitifer (or at least overturning the ban on a health ID). Dealing with the opioid crisis is a driver. @RepBillFoster #IDpolicyforum
