Description
Governments around the world increasingly deploy digital identity infrastructure. These initiatives are considered a fundamental building block for their citizens to reap the benefits of digitalization and participate in the digital society and economy. But this outcome is not guaranteed: it considerably hinges upon a range of strategic governance decision domains that institutional actors must act on when designing digital identity infrastructures. To get a better understanding of how governments can approach this critical design aspect, we propose a taxonomy of strategic governance choices for digital identity infrastructures. This taxonomy is the outcome of an analysis of 13 government-led digital identity infrastructures and 12 expert interviews. This paper contributes to the digital government literature by setting a foundation for further research and theory-building on digital identity infrastructure. Practitioners can use the taxonomy to develop governance strategies for their own digital identity infrastructure.
