SECURE ID = FUNCTIONING SOCIETY
Secure identification is a prerequisite for a functioning society and crucial to giving people access to rights and services within such areas as health, elections and security. Development in ID work in Europe, Norway and Africa will be centre of attention.
NO JOINT STANDARD
Several players, nationally and internationally, call for a common understanding and joint standards on what is secure identification. A number of good initiatives for strengthening ID work are now being taken. We will give a status of the work in Norway with establishing good routines and standards for secure ID. There is no joint standard in Norway on what is secure ID, and different players have reached different conclusions regarding risk and necessary control measures.
EUROPE
A common European labour market has given challenges that EU finds itself in need of meeting and solving, linked to secure identification of workers and of competence among countries. The EU Commission has established a project within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), an association that brings together the standardization bodies of 34 European countries, which will look at the possibilities for establishing a joint European standard for such essential breeder documents as birth, marriage and death certificates.
AFRICA
Today one billion people in the world are without proof of identity, and the majority of these reside in Africa. Several countries in Africa have started a process of building systems for secure ID to provide their citizens with rights and access to services. It will enable countries to handle the challenges linked to increased migration in better ways, which will give the benefit of better economic integration and commercial activities.
