Proof of Identity: Digital Technology
- Question
-
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether proposals for digital ID include a centralised audit log of verification events.
- Answer
-
The Government will conduct a full public consultation on the new digital ID to inform our approach. We are currently exploring best practice from other countries with digital identity schemes and other private sector companies who have digitised their services in order to develop the set of proposals to take to public consultation.
The Government has been clear that privacy and security will be hard-wired into the system from the start, and user control will be central to plans. It will operate to best practice standards for security and privacy.
This includes established standards for cyber security, counter-fraud and data storage, and following all existing UK legislation.
