ID4AFRICA 2020 Symposium 5: Digital ID for Travel and Population Flow Management

One of the sectors hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic is the travel and border management sector. Mobility was significantly curtailed around the world in order to prevent travel from becoming a vector for spreading the pandemic. As countries attempt to restart the flow of travelers, a new set of challenges have emerged around safety and global public health. This has stimulated a significant amount of innovations that leverage contactless biometrics, better data analytics, digital and mobile identity, and redesigned flows to ensure the safest possible movement of people. It is expected that modernization and relaunch of travel across land and air borders will also improve efficiency through automation (eGates) which would help restore or increase the capacity of travel and border control even while maintaining social distancing. How this is done and what the tradeoffs are, is the subject of this must-attend symposium.

ID4AFRICA 2020: S4 - Mobile Platforms, Derived Identities & the Future of Secure Credentials (Pt2)

[Continued from Part 1] National ID is increasingly recognized as an essential pillar in the tools that governments rely on to interact with their citizens and conduct their functions. This has become even more clear during the COVID-19 pandemic. A robust national ID is an enabler of more efficient public policy that adds convenience and empowers the individuals. While that is now a commonly accepted view, there are many ways in which the identity can be credentialed and empowered. Among those mobile identity platforms occupy a prominent role among the possible derived credentials that rely on a single source of truth but adapt to the user needs in terms of how the credential is deployed. This is a two-part symposium that will explore options governments can consider when it comes to choosing how they deploy credentials so they can meet the use cases desired by their populations in offline and online contexts: the idea is that one unique identity rules over a multiplicity of digital identities and secure credentials. The details of how this works is the focus of this very relevant session.

ID4AFRICA 2020 S2: Enabling Service Delivery (Laxton, EY, NPCI, Veridos, Innovatrics, TrustStamp

Access to digital identity is just the first step in building the ecosystem. Creating use cases that are compelling is the key to ensuring its success and sustainability. These need to be deployed in the form of eServices across the broadest possible range of sectors including priority sectors such as banking, payments, and eGovernment. While enrollment requires scalable identification and deduplication, service delivery requires efficient and robust authentication, with privacy-compliant data practices to help build trust and ensure that users remain in control of their data when they engage in identity-enabled applications and conduct transactions. This session is a tour de force of what is required to build the service delivery infrastructure once digital identity has been established.

ID4AFRICA 2020 Symposium 1:Digital Identity Innovations (MasterCard, Atos, S-P-S, Awarem /Coppernic

Digital identity has become a key focus for government identity authorities (supply) and their partners who rely on identity to provide services (demand). But there is no one-size-fits-all. How to provision digital identity and make it fit for purpose to support a diverse set of services? How to change the issuance model to ensure that it is more accessible and in line with a purely digital world, where enrollment can be done at a distance and issuance is almost instantaneous? How does one ensure it is secure and trustworthy? What are the challenges and what are the opportunities in this new vast frontier? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in this Marathon opening symposium that will set the stage for the conversations that will follow.
