In collaboration with the idcommons, Kantara Initiative, Center for Democracy, Technology, Liberty Coalition and others, the eCitizen Foundation has convened a broad ranging and growing group of interested organizations and individuals to foster a mass-scale dialog on the emerging National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace. The NSTIC.US website, which also serves as a unique tag, supports and enables this dialog.
NSTIC WEBINARS: eCitizen will soon be offering a series of educational webinars about NSTIC covering business, legal, technical and other topics. To learn more, and reserve your spot, please refer to our NSTIC Webinar Page.
● eCitizen-Kantara Patient ID Service Project
http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/healthidassurance/Home
This project is intended to create a Patient Identity Service necessary for secure patient access to health information. Phase One of this project is intended to complete the research and development necessary to design the solution, and Phase Two is planned to implement and test the proposed solution. The intent is to use existing business, legal and technical components where available and to identity gaps to demonstrate the viability of existing identity solutions for the facilitation of healthcare through electronic means in an open, public integrated architecture.
This project has been funded thanks to a generous donation by the OpenID Foundation of Japan for the eCitizen Foundation, through our partners at the Kantara Initiative, in collaboration with the Kantara Identity Assurance Workgroup.
