Digital Identity 101 – The Future of Your Identity
First Assistant Secretary at Department of Finance, Mr. John Shepherd joins hosts Rob Hotchin and Sally MacKenzie on the very first episode of IDiot proof: Digital Identity podcast and explores what Digital Identity really means.
“…Digital ID has been around in Australia as a concept for over eight years. It's been consulted on extensively to get legislation in place. It’s built on something called the TDIF, which is the Trusted Digital Identity Framework, which has been operating as an accreditation framework for quite a period of time, really.
Now, I think what's really brought this on is some of the recent data breaches, with big companies. We've all heard the stories about some of those hacks, and people have lost identity information, and it's really hard to resurrect. So really that's brought it on to say we need more people to adopt Digital ID, but we need to do it in a way that's trusted, secure, convenient, and, importantly, inclusive.”
