Abstract
With no identification there are no rights. The exercise of rights necessarily
requires full identification of individuals, a function for which the State is
responsible. The State is responsible for individuals’ identification and for
ensuring the identity of every individual. In an increasingly computerized
world, governments make use of ICT’s for the implementation of substantive
public policies. How to attain the full identification of all individuals, how
to recognize these identifications among countries and how to facilitate
the remote access to the services rendered by government agencies are
issues related to an accurate electronic identification of individuals.
This electronic identification is necessary to have access to computerized
systems, e-government applications, e-commerce and also to execute
social policies. Besides this use, the modern identity documents, basically
passports and national documents, are using electronic identification what
demands considering that even for in-person identification, information
and communications technologies play a relevant role.
This article presents the recently approved “Framework for the
Iberoamerican Social Electronic Identification”, the difficulties that this
issue brings about and the main aspects involved.
