The Silicon Trust invites you to come to London to join other partners and ID experts for our annual Forum on latest trends in the ID markets.

This year we will be looking at the latest developments in the area of mobile ID as well as the exciting developments in the segment of multi-application ID schemes. Both topics are of great interest to public sector audiences around the world.
The migration from card to mobile, or the co-existence of complimentary mobile and card-based schemes for public sector applications is an ongoing challenge for government and system integrators alike. At the core of all considerations must be the added value for the citizen, be it in the form of more convenience, added security or additional day-to-day functionality.

The same goes for so-called multi-application schemes: adding a payment functionality to national ID cards can transform a verification scheme into a multi-purpose platform for citizens to carry out financial transaction as well as access government services. At the same time, more than one stakeholder in any card scheme makes data handling and other high security processes more complex. Therefore, from a standardisation point, multi-application schemes should be designed to be as flexible and interoperable as possible when it comes to implementations. This year, during the Silicon Trust Forum, we will look at the advantages of using open standard instead of closed-loop approaches for schemes which combine ID with payment, social benefits or public transportation.
