1. Creating a European entity Management Architecture for eGovernment CUB - http://informatika.uni- corvinus.hu Id www.guide-project.org Réka Vas rvas@informatika.bke.hu

2. Government User Identity for Europe The vision of GUIDE is to create Open IdM Architecture For secure eGovernment identity management An architecture, not an application Addressing both technical and non-technical requirements ‘Identity’ - the central organizing concept of GUIDE Approach Integrative – overcome the fragmentation of existing IdM initiatives Inter-disciplinary – technological, policy and procedural research and development

3. Project Objectives  Open Identity Management (IdM) Architecture for eGovernment  Providing logical, technical, institutional and policy/legal framework for future IdM systems  Enabling pan-European eGovernment services in the EU  Stimulating political consensus and support among member state governments  Validation of research and development findings  Identity Grid – conceptual vision of GUIDE  Development of new IdM servises

4. 1. Open IdM Architecture Analysis, requirements gathering Identity Grid – describing conceptual vision Process Analysis Activity – understanding of IdM reference processes Definition of the Open IdM Architecture Principles IdM services Co-operation models and services Identity data Implementation of GUIDE Architecture

5. 2. Policy, Legal, Organizational Considerations and Stakeholder Engagement Understanding of critical institutional, political and policy structures of IdM Analysis of sociological and organizational structures and processes of IdM Definition of the ‘enabling legislative framework’ Definition of external communication strategy of GUIDE

6. 3. Development and verification of critical aspects of the GUIDE Architecture Provide critical case studies to validate the architecture E101 e-procurement Design and development of new IdM services Trial of IdM services based on user requirements and across different geographic scenarios

7. Project Participants Academic partners Research and innovation activities, desk studies, Conceptual framework Commercial partners Demonstration, detailed explanation of existing eGovernment solutions and applications Innovation activities, technological development Corvinus University of Budapest Ontology of Identity Management Evaluation and assessment of trials (use cases)

8. Ontology of Identity Management Ontology – formal, explicit specification of a shared conceptualization GUIDE Ontology – provides the representation of domain knowledge related to identity management a common basis for the identity management domain in order to promote handling the surrounding multidimensional environment; (different cultural, legal and economic milieu)

9. Conceptualization need of Identity Management domain Capturing, mapping, processing knowledge concerning identity management helps sharing and common understanding of the domain enables reusability and avoiding inconsistency Supports communication between project members and interoperability between software agents (applications)

10. Categories of the informal ontology prototype entities, which is used for concepts description activities, which contains the group of activities concerning the concepts constraints, which contains legislation, standards and policies; under legislation EU directives, elements of national legislation illustrations, which is applied for presentation samples;

11. Trial Running Assessment Trials – validate how different types of IdM Services are able to operate effectively in different scenarios in a pan- European setting E101 e-procurement Objectives of assessment: Check the trial system’s compliance with user requirements Provide evidence that each milestone has been achieved within its time-schedule Objectives have been qualitatively accomplished

12. Structure of the trial assessment Methodology COBIT – the quasi-standard for IT-auditing Phases of assessment Creating control objectives IT - auditing process Risks identification based on the revised set of control objectives of COBIT Exploring existing controls of the trial Compliance testing Substantive test, based on the results of Trial Running and Demonstration Testing Conclude the assessment and evaluation of the trial.
