Governing Cyberspace during a Crisis in Trust
It is almost impossible to read the news without coming across a lead story cataloguing the latest cyber breach or misuse of data. Intellectual property is being stolen from companies at an alarming rate. Foreign actors are meddling in elections. Criminals use the dark recesses of the internet to sell drugs, guns and even people. The volume of these events lays bare the paradox of the digital economy and cyber security. On one hand, technology has led to convenience, efficiency and wealth creation.
The Need for a National Digital Identity Infrastructure
C yber security for health-care data has never been more important nor more vexing than it is today. Across the Group of Twenty countries, health-care spending consumes upward of 50 percent of government revenue, and its share continues to climb. In many places around the world, online access to health-care services is being held back, due to the highly sensitive nature of the data and our collective inability to provide viable protection for online service delivery.

What Electrical Grids and Digital Identity Have in Common
We share personal and valuable identifying information in a variety of locations, hoping that it’s safe. This process of transacting online involves a lot of effort, risk and frustration for both consumers and businesses. More often than not, privacy is sacrificed in the name of convenience, mostly because there are no standards for the types of data that should be shared to execute transactions.
Digital Identity: Our Most Valuable Asset
Today, many Canadians are hosting the majority of their lives online—from posting images of their vacations, families and day-to-day activities on social media, to supplying multiple websites with personal information in the form of account security answers, to creating profiles with financial institutions and government websites containing highly-confidential and sensitive information. The amount of personal information that is available online is alarming.
