Cyber Authentication
The Government of Canada's (GC) recognizes that its approach to electronic
methods of authentication should periodically be reviewed and adapted to changes in
technology, public opinion, and the marketplace. The existing solutions for
common or unique departmental authentication requirements have meet the needs of
departments and clients thus far but there have been many changes is this area
so the Government of Canada needs to review our current approaches. We believe
there are likely improvement to be made to better accomplish electronic
authentication in light of focus on common services, joined-up service delivery
and the emergence of a desire to use market or market-like services.
In 2006, TBS with the collaboration of key stakeholders focused on a short
effort looking at the business problems, vision and activities for a GC wide
strategy to renew the electronic (or cyber) authentication environment for
on-line electronic service delivery.
The following DRAFT documents represent the work that was performed. This
provides departments and agencies with a statement of direction and orientation
to help ensure a consistent adoption of Cyber Authentication in support of a
cohesive approach to service delivery across government. The longer-term goal is
for a trusted and secure standards-based authentication architecture that can be
relied upon for on-line electronic service delivery by the GC. The approach must
provide uniform processes for establishing electronic identity.
TBS is now embarking on the next phase of the project, which is to solicit
feedback and develop a strategy for transformation. Comments or observations on
these documents can be sent to CIOB Enterprise Arch and Standards.
Depending on the volume of the response we may not provide direct itemized
feedback but we do intend to process all comments.
