Abstract

“Bring Your Own Identity” (BYOI) is a growing trend in the world of access management and user identification. Under this trend a single digital identity is re-used to provide access to multiple different services from different providers either in the public or private sector.

As presented in this report, government eIDs can themselves be seen as a type of BYOI solution as they typically provide access and are reused across multiple different public sector organisations and types of public services, and to a lesser extent in the private sector as well. The following report focusses primarily, however, on the private sector counterparts to these government BYOI solutions, presenting the different uses and requirements that they respond to. This is done in an effort to learn about what makes such schemes attractive to the general public and what lessons could be drawn for government eID schemes.
