Popis: As the Government of British Columbia looks to expand its online, public e-Government service offerings, it requires a means of controlling citizen access to these applications. An ad hoc system of individual service providers offering application-specific means of access is not tenable on a large scale; instead, the Province must look towards a centralized system of Identity Management and Authentication (IdMA) – the BCeID. This project describes a number of the challenges associated with the development of an IdMA system, and examines some of the potential implementations of such a system by investigating the ways in which each would address these challenges. Through a multi-case analysis, it is determined that a claims-based identity system is the most appropriate for current deployment.
