| "Digital Identity is having the ability for the government to trust that you are who you say you are," is the explanation the federal government's Digital Transformation Office (DTO) gives for the establishment of a singular digital profile that will allow you to access various government services.
But trust has to go both ways, and the Australian Privacy Foundation (APF) has expressed "serious concern" about federated identity, stating the process has been "seriously deficient" and conducted "in a context of increasing distrust of government" (Census, anyone?).
