Abstract

Identification systems are vital in improving efficiency and enabling innovation for public and private-sector services, such as greater efficiency in the delivery of social safety nets and facilitating the development of digital economies. With all these benefits along with the rapid improvement in the technology has led many countries to adopt a new foundational digital identity system (DIS) or retrofit the existing paper-based identity system especially in the developing economies. Apart from all these benefits, DISs has also been criticized for issues related to the security, privacy, surveillance and exclusion of people from various services they are entitled to. Considering the significant impact of DIS on the people, it is necessary to have an evaluation framework that could help understand the suitability of a DIS in a particular context. In this study, we propose a conceptual evaluation framework specifically for DISs based on the processes followed, regulations and technologies employed.
