International Case Study: Learning from the UK’s Experiences with Identity Management and New Driver Licence ID Systems |
In the UK recent legislation for a national identity card and register has been the subject of much interest and controversy. Ieuan Griffiths will describe the UK DVLA’s work with identity management and some of the IT operational, security and business processes that have been implemented, as well as the costs involved. He will also describe some of the inherent challenges involved in creating new ID systems for the DVLA and the tangible lessons learned.

INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LARGE-SCALE IDENTITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS: WHAT LESSONS CAN BE APPLIED TO THE US CASE?
| 0830 |
Coffee and Registration |
| 0900 |
Chair’s Welcome and Introduction |
Across the globe, various levels of government are currently engaged in, or are poised to initiate, projects involving large-scale civil identification. Using examples from other countries already gone down this route, the following sessions will look at the lessons that have been learned by governments when undergoing a similar transformation to the USA. It will look at the approaches and efforts that were made; some of the practices, pitfalls and outcomes. What are the transferable lessons for the USA in creating identity management systems and how have issues such as enrolment, public perception and education and verification of documents been dealt with?
INTERNATIONAL CASE STUDY

Example of Large Scale Identity Management System Working in Practice |
- The Hong Kong ID Card program is an example of an ID system on a mass scale at the Hong Kong borders
- How was the initial data conversion process handled, was there anything that should have been done differently with hindsight?
- Ensuring data privacy: How do they ensure security of the information held?
- Deployment issues and lessons learned relating to ID schemes: how were the new cards in Hong Kong actually issued; timeframe, locations
- Enabling access to other government services; how do you link these in to the ID card system being developed?
- Transferable lessons for Identity Management in the USA

Developing a Robust Identity Authentication Infrastructure |
Emirates Identity Authority (EIDA) is a federal government organization tasked with the development and implementation of a modern and integrated population register and identity management system for both citizens and residents of the UAE. EIDA have introduced a new ID program aimed at replacing the labor card and the driving license with a single ID card that will facilitate different transactions and enhance the efficiency of governmental performance. The new system will encompass several key technologies ranging from smart cards, biometrics and Public Key Infrastructure. The population register program is now one of the most advanced IT projects in the Middle East.
- Developing a develop a robust identity authentication infrastructure
- Providing interactive, transactional e-government services
- Securing individual privacy through technology
- Creation of a centralized and unified database
- How is the registration process being handled?
- Role of the ID card in combating identity fraud

Assessing the Problem of Identity Fraud, and the Role Technology and Systems can Play in Reducing Risk |
Real ID has the potential to solve many of the problems of identity fraud, but what problem areas may be still be left exposed and how can these be addressed?
There has been an unprecedented emphasis on enhancement of ID documents through the use of advanced physical security features, contact less chip data storage capacity and biometrics. These are extremely useful and important but place an even greater burden on the vulnerabilities of the systems on which these enhanced documents rely for entitlement decisions and personalization. The need to address issues associated with verification, system integrity, internal controls and accountability, risk assessment and performance auditing is now urgent and critical. This presentation will highlight the main areas of system vulnerability and suggest possible approaches to protect them.

Update on the Development of Identity Documents Under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) |
How is identity management developing in the USA as a whole? The US Department of State will be meeting the documentary requirements of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) with the introduction of the passport card. Frank Moss will provide an update on the development of and plans for the PASS card under WHTI. How will this work with other types of state-issued IDs?

Delivering Real ID in the Context of Other National, State or Local Level ID Systems |
The risk with ad hoc approaches to solving the problem of identity is that on the security concern end of the spectrum, similar expensive identity issuance processes will likely be carried out multiple times in isolation without effective leverage points for applications relating to citizen-centric government or electronic life. How will the efforts of the State DMV’s in complying with Real ID, dovetail with other state wide enterprise architectures under development, or federal and local government identity initiatives such as the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), Transportation Worker Identification Card (TWIC)), or FIPS201; the framework for the production of robust identity credentials for federal workers and contractors?
- What levels of collaboration will be required?
- How will Real ID affect system design of other State ID programs?
- Achieving interoperability

Wrap Up Panel: Technology Solutions and Procurement for Real ID Compliant ID Systems |
After the regulations are issued, how are procurement decisions going to be made? On a state-by-state basis or a one-size fits all solution prescribed by DHS? What issues will act as the key drivers impacting States in their future selection of technology? If the current vendors and suppliers are to bring all 50 States into compliance, what is known about their resources for programming and providing supplies?
- Individual State Requirements
- Costs of equipment and systems
- Amount of change required
- Manpower issues
- Practical issues e.g. existing card stocks
- Use of the Real ID compliant license and a 2nd tier licence
