Enduring #wisdom from a session with @Gartner_inc some twelve years ago that i have no memory whatsoever of beyond finding this screenshot in a neglected folder on an ancient fileserver: "projects do not fail because of a lack of technical skills".

…and where “derive credentials” includes things like joining up with previously-held and potentially-expired credentials of one kind or another, such as driver licenses or passports or bank account details and perhaps information from universities.

[jeff kennedy @elbanoitca]

Solutions here are much less technical then starting with a social-good approach and focusing on people and policy and process: plugging into trust; deriving credentials; connecting experiences; adopting authority.

…where “plugging into trust” involves making use of trust anchors from various sources that already recognise and know people (NGOs, charitable organisations, iwi, churches, community groups, and more).

Summary of challenges in activating the digital identity ecosystem to maximum effect offered as four-dimensional: distrust of government and technology; missing identity credentials; reboot/restart (identity reclaim, re-minting); delegated authority. #digitaltrust @digitalidnz

Steven Graham channeling McKinsey estimating that good _and_inclusive_ digital identity has a beneficial value worth between 3% and 13% of GDP, which is huge! = https://t.co/cVG3HJXhUp = @digitalidnz #digitaltrust #nztech

One thing to progress digital identity in New Zealand within the next twelve months: take action; practical issuance of the verifiable credentials; celebrate the initial use-cases; use the rules deliberately; consider funding for enforcement.

Panel discussion about digital identity for everybody: it has to place people at the centre, provide seamless experiences, move beyond the technology to the human side, and enshrine trust and dignity. #digitaltrust @digitalidnz

[jeff kennedy @elbanoitca]

Societal change is needed both to undo what we have trained the population to do over their entire lives in terms of overproviding personal information, and for regulatory oversight to embed data-minimisation objectives.

Summary call to action: put dignity at the centre of all digital identity decision-making, and require the use of multimodal global interoperability standards.

ISO 18013-5 is a family of standards within a standard, this image from Christopher Goh:

Harmonisation and reciprocity and mutual recognition of driver licenses across global schemes from EU and Australia and USA and India and other places too. ISO 18013-5 was developed over 11 years with 104 meetings and 12 global interoperability tests.

The essence of digital identity sovereignty is to balance the right to be forgotten with the right to be remembered (particularly during those times when we are at are most vulnerable).

For the purpose of the new code, “processing” is considered to be the use of biometrics for {verification, identification, categorisation}. The new code also limits some particularly invasive uses of biometrics.

[jeff kennedy @elbanoitca]

The new code strengthens and clarifies requirements to: assess the effectiveness and proportionality of using biometrics; adopt safeguards to reduce privacy risk; and to tell people a biometric system is in use before and when collecting.

[jeff kennedy @elbanoitca]

The new code is now law, and it comes into effect from 03NOV2025 for new uses of biometrics, and from 03AUG2026 for existing uses of biometrics… this code replaces information privacy principles in the Act.

Fascinating panel discussion exploring the tension between “rushing” and “accelerating” towards the widespread issuance and consumption of significant verifiable credentials in the digital identity ecosystem for New Zealand. #digitaltrust @digitalidnz

[jeff kennedy @elbanoitca]

Digital Identity is now being positioned for success with key initiatives including: the trust framework + common infrastructure + addressing legislative barriers+ standardising levels of assurance.

“Pae Hokohoko” will be established as a digital identity services marketplace channel (presumably also making use of the forthcoming DIA “Trust Registry”).
