“…At a very formal level, we would say that a party is a legally trusted party, if it has been directly granted the status of an officially trusted party by respective legal regulations, or (indirectly) granted by a state authority in accordance with respective legal regulations. A standard example for such legally trusted parties are the certification authorities of national eID (electronic identification) solutions [30][31][32][33].…”

Our aim is to understand technological and socio-economic barriers to blockchain solutions that are intrinsic in the blockchain technology stack itself (permissionless as well as permissioned). On the basis of that, we want to understand the future potentioal impact of blockchain technology. We provide an argumentation against the theoretical background of Williamson's instutional analysis framework, and triangulate the insights with results from four design science research efforts. We (i) characterize cryptocurrency as one-tiered collateralized money. We (ii) review potential blockchain solutions against defined essential modes of communications. We review (iii) well-known scalability issues and potential denial-of-service attacks through a new probabilistic model. We (iv) characterize a typical neglection of physical network infrastructure in blockchain technology discussions. We (v) describe four successful blockchain solutions and explain their design. There is (vi) no evidence that the proclaimed ``blockchain revolution'' can disrupt our institutional stack; instead, it can only happen in the boundaries of the current institutional stack. Nevertheless, it is possible to (vii) design useful blockchain solutions. The findings of this research enable policy makers, decision makers and information systems architects alike to make informed decisions about blockchain technology and its application. Given its theoretic foundation in new institutional economics, triangulated with comprehensive results from design science efforts, this study is the first of its kind in the area of blockchain technology research. <br>

“…Security is another integral part of Estonia's digital identity system. The digital identity system incorporates stringent security measures, such as cryptographic encryption and two-factor authentication, to ensure the protection of user data and provide secure access to online services [30]. These features ensure that the digital transactions conducted are safe, secure, and reliable, which is crucial in maintaining public trust in the system.…”

Online Identity - An Essential Guide [Working Title]

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter examines the role of national identification systems (NIDS) as enablers of online identity in this digital age. With the rapid growth of digital services and platforms, online identity management has become increasingly crucial. NIDS are among the cornerstones shaping digital identities by providing secure authentication and access to various online services. The chapter explores the evolution of NIDS, their transition from physical to digital formats, and their integration with online identity management. It presents case studies from Estonia, India, Norway, Sweden, and Singapore to demonstrate the diverse approaches and best practices in implementing an effective integration of NIDS with online services. The chapter discusses the challenges of NIDS as enablers of online identity to highlight the areas that require attention and improvement. It also explores the impact of emerging technologies on the future of NIDS, emphasising the importance of continuous research, innovation, and international collaboration. In general, stakeholders can contribute to a more secure, connected, and inclusive digital society by understanding the significance and potential of NIDS in shaping online identities.

“…There may be more vulnerabilities we have not considered. The key factors for coping with the ROCA of Estonia can be repeated: using alternative solutions, which may not be affected, public private partnerships, crisis management, and documentation and verification [160]. Another important aspect is security by design [161].…”

eID and Self-Sovereign Identity Usage: An Overview

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The COVID-19 pandemic helped countries to increase the use of their mobile eID solutions. These are based on traditional identity management systems, which suffer from weaknesses, such as the reliance on a central entity to provide the identity data and the lack of control of the user over her or his data. The introduction of self-sovereign identity (SSI) for e-government systems can strengthen the privacy of the citizens while enabling identification also for the weakest. To successfully initiate SSI, different factors have to be taken into account. In order to have a clear understanding of the challenges, but also lessons learned, we provide an overview of existing solutions and projects and conducted an analysis of their experiences. Based on a taxonomy, we identified strong points, as well as encountered challenges. The contribution of this paper is threefold: First, we enhanced existing taxonomies based on the literature for further evaluations. Second, we analyzed eID solutions for lessons learned. Third, we evaluated more recently started SSI projects in different states of their lifecycle. This led to a comprehensive discussion of the lessons learned and challenges to address, as well as further findings.
