This document discusses the need for a trusted digital ID system to enable data sharing while respecting privacy and security in the emerging data economy. It notes that citizens currently face a paradox between convenience and privacy when sharing data. The document proposes a solution that provides high security through a trust factor and data attestations, high convenience through use-case driven sharing and centralized consent, and respect for privacy by avoiding any single party having a full profile and leveraging existing ecosystem connections. This trusted ID system would allow citizens to maintain control over their data while enabling data to be safely and beneficially shared.
