Microsoft, Google, PayPal Collaborate to Promote Digital ID Cards
Heavy hitters to work to identify an identity problem via the Information Card Foundation (ICF).
Despite their promise, the technologies are still struggling to gain broad acceptance. That, said Trevitchick, is what ICF is seeking to change.
Over the short term, ICF will try to get everyone in this space to agree to the use of standard Web site icons that will indicate the site accepts digital information cards, he said.
Over time, ICF will work on promoting interoperability via its own recommendations as well as by organizing interoperability events and seminars. The group will also provide informational support for projects involving the build-out of information card infrastructure for newer platforms, including mobile devices.
ICF also hopes to get involved in developing policies, identity rights agreements and auditing standards to ensure that such digital cards meet legal requirements.
