FIDIS Background  Title:
BACKGROUND ON DELIVERABLE 8.3
 Part A – Introduction

 

Background on Deliverable 8.3

 

As stated previously, deliverable 8.3 is comprised of two parts. The first is a database of Identity Management Systems. The purpose of this database is to collect the key information on all available and prototype IMS in one place. This can function as a means to enhance innovation, as users of the database can identify what attributes are missing from existing systems and which areas need further development. The public can also makes use of this information as electronic identity management becomes increasingly important and more and more identity information becomes digitalised. The second part of the deliverable is a structured archive of identity laws, the Identity Law Survey (IDLS). This archive contains information on several kinds of ID laws and is searchable by country and legal topic. 

The maintenance plans for both databases IMS and IDLS are different in vision for the future mainly due to the different nature of database in terms of objective, size and contents. 

 

This deliverable requires a multi-disciplinary approach, combining technical expertise with legal knowledge. Furthermore information has to be collected from member states and countries outside the EU in order to provide an extensive survey of available data. The work is therefore well-suited for the FIDIS network, as partners come from a wide range of backgrounds and from many different countries.  

This work also serves indirectly as a means of strengthening the integration of the Network of Excellence as it draws on work done in other workpackages. The IMS database for example uses an IMS classification system developed in deliverable 3.1 and extends this work. The structured archive of ID laws makes use of the information on identity theft laws collected in Workpackage 5.

The final aim for this deliverable is to develop two simple and user-friendly archives, one providing the public with an overview of all identity management systems and the other with information on ID-related laws in the EU and North America.
