歐共體ID卡片在2010年以前

電子商務貿易協會 Eema 在歐共體顯露計劃使民族性卡片服務可轉移橫跨會員國。

主動性被揭幕在 信息安全解答歐洲 (ISSE)會議在華沙和上星期洗禮的鸛。 它意欲帶來國家政府根據Eema的執行董事， Roger教務長應付電子身分系統的非標準化橫跨歐洲國家。 當歐共體的歐洲eID管理框架生效時，最後期限為此是2010年。

“It’s a three-year project and the UK government is playing a significant part,” Dean said. “But each government has its own agenda. You have to show the benefits to government, citizens and businesses [to get buy-in].”

Supporters say a pan-European ID card agreement could provide help in migration between member states, and accessing social security services, medical prescriptions and pension payments. It could also ease cross-border student enrolment in colleges, as well as provide identification in lieu of a driving licence.

However, experts warned that there is a long way to go before the framework is assured of success. “The technology to achieve the goal of allowing electronic ID cards to work in multiple states is available but has never been commercialised on this scale before,” argued Dan Blum of analyst Burton Group.

Blum argued that commercial organisations should persevere with their identity-based projects despite the problems many encounter early on.

“The elephant in the road is trust and how you audit your partners,” Blum told delegates. “But the incentives are transactional revenue, new business opportunities and lower admin costs.”

Blum recommended firms think about the SAML 2.0 standard as the basis for projects because it has the most industry buy-in, but warned that interoperability issues may still arise. “We need to pressure the standards organisations and the vendor groups so there is no friction,” he added.

Also at ISSE, experts rejected the suggestion that vendors should be held legally liable for product faults, as recommended by a recent Lords report on internet security.

“Liability and legislation can have unintended consequences for innovation, competitiveness, product acceptance and the supplier ecosystem,” said Steve Lipner, Microsoft senior director of security engineering.
