The e-Government digital credentials
by Flavio Corradini, Eleonora Paganelli, Alberto Polzonetti
International Journal of Electronic Governance (IJEG), Vol. 1, No. 1, 2007

Abstract: Digital identities, profiles and their management enable online interactions and transactions among people, enterprises, service providers and government institutions. In this paper, after having examined the European identity management policies, we explain the differences between digital identity and digital citizenship and introduce digital credentials. We also discuss how an identity management framework, composed by shared and standardised services supporting authentication procedures, can change within the e-Government domain. The paper concludes by outlining future trends and the potentiality of the extended digital identity in both public and private sectors.
