8. What is a Digital Identity Trust Framework?
“Digital Identity”
• Identity: A reference or designation used to
distinguish a unique and particular individual,
organization or device.
• Trusted Digital Identity: ‘a trusted
electronic representation of who I am.’
“Framework”
• Digital Identity Trust Frameworks define
the ‘rules of the road’ for interactions
between organizations when handling
identity, authentication and authorization.
Often, these Frameworks form the basis of
agreements and contracts.
13. Why does this work?
Festival and a group of Telcos both comply with a Digital Trust
Framework
• UMA protocol is used to make it possible for Alice to authorize
electronic information release from one org to another
14. Did it work before?
Kinda
Previously, Festival had to contract with every Telco
and configure themselves differently for each one
Festival had to keep track of new Telcos
Festival had to adapt to meet each Telco’s technical
requirement
Festival had to agree to different terms & lawyer fees
were rising
15. A reason for a framework?
To make negotiating agreements easier
17. Contracts
The program negotiates contracts with every
information source
Policies, business processes, standards, operating
practices, formats
OR
The program requires conformance to Trust
Framework Profile
Negotiation burden lowered
23. Tools and Rules

A Canada Day Festival is giving free provincial flags to people who sign up online and can prove they have lived in a province for more than 3 months
‘Proof of residence’ can be achieved in several ways, one of which is to release information about billing address and phone location history from an authorized online Telco service designed for this purpose
Alice applies for a flag and indicates that she would like to use the Telco service to qualify
Alice uses her information console at the Telco to authorize the Telco to respond to the Festival’s request for ‘proof of residence’
The Festival’s server asks the Telco for Alice’s proof of residence.
Because Alice previously approved the Festival to get proof of residence information from the Telco, the Telco tells the Festival that Alice has resided in British Columbia for 5 years
Alice is notified that the Festival successfully used the Telco service
Alice gets her special edition BC Flag at the Festival
Common terms, known practices, technology standards, privacy policy, security controls
Festival purchased proof of residence service from the group of Telcos and so automatically got access to each of their proof of residence services (one contract covered access to all)
