PSCIOC/PSSDC Cross-Jurisdictional Identification, Authentication and Authorization Working Groups

Under the auspices of the Public Sector CIO Council (PSCIOC) and the Public Sector Service Delivery Council (PSSDC) this initiative has Canadian Federal, Provincial and Municipal governments working jointly on the issues of electronic authentication.

As part of its deliverables the IA&A Working Group has developed an Identification, Authentication, and Authorization (IA&A) framework that is cross-jurisdictional, technology neutral, and respectful of the policy and legal framework of each jurisdiction

A consultation draft of the proposed authentication guidelines has been released to seek feedback on the proposed framework from all stakeholders, including Federal, Provincial and Municipal Government agencies and privacy groups.
