Proof of Identity: Digital Technology
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, with reference to the Government's proposed Digital ID scheme, what assessment her Department has made on the potential risks of using One Login to support implementation of the scheme.
Answered by Ian Murray
As with GOV.UK One Login, privacy and security will be core to the design of a new digital credential. We are working with the UK’s leading security experts – including the National Cyber Security Centre – to build a system with higher protections against identity fraud than ever before. Overall responsibility for the scheme sits with the Cabinet Office who will be launching a public consultation in the new year.
