Trust is a critical component of good relationships. Friendships, the stores you buy from and where you get your information from, all rely on trust. Now, with much of our daily interactions being shifted online, digital trust<\/a> is becoming just as important. Establishing digital ID and authentication standards is crucial to developing the unequivocal trust required to enable the next generation economy and all the benefits it entails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To that end, on September 15, the Digital ID & Authentication Council of Canada (DIACC<\/a>) launched the Pan-Canadian Trust Framework<\/a> \u2122 (PCTF), \u201ca set of rules and tools designed to help businesses and governments to develop tools and services that enable information to be verified regarding a specific transaction or particular set of transactions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to note the variety and extent of use cases the Framework covers. After all, requirements for digital ID and authentication range from one-time use to accessing highly sensitive information on an ongoing basis, and the identity landscape is constantly changing with new requirements, opportunities and threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launching one framework that works for multiple public and private uses, is adaptable, is acceptable to multiple parties and delivers privacy, security and convenience is a significant development for Canada and those that want to do business there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust Frameworks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are already numerous trust agreements that enable digital transactions and other forms of cooperation. Terms of Service and other contractual arrangements state how certain types of information should be secured, processed, stored, shared and deleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difference with a framework is that it\u2019s not a one-off relationship, but rather a set of business, technical and (potentially) legal standards that can more quickly and efficiently create a foundation of trust. With auditable processes, these trust conventions can create \u201ca more scalable, more transparent, and arguably more economical approach to creating a trusted environment<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Canadian governments, businesses and people can all look to the PCTF as a standard, digital trust can be quicker, safer and less costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guiding principles for the PCTF include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
