Introduction

    1.  

      FIDIS examines the characteristics of identity management systems from the technical, policy, legal and socio-cultural perspectives, and Work Package 4 addresses the interoperability issues therein. It looks at the limits on identity systems designed for one purpose being used for other purposes (inter-purpose interoperability: e-government, e-health, e-commerce systems), and sees the role of the market in generating interoperability (interplay of governmental regulation, self-regulation and no regulation: cross-border and cross-sector comparisons). The project involves research in many disciplines, performed in several work packages by 24 institutions. The aim of the project is to develop integrated approaches for security, virtual identity management, and privacy enhancing technologies at application level, system level and infrastructure level. The proposed best practice guidelines endeavour to provide managers and developers with tools to aid navigation through these many and often tricky issues that identity management technology and systems engender. They bring together a wide range of materials and techniques that are required to reach good decisions on interoperable identity.
