National PKI: Opportunities for Government, Industry and Citizens Across the globe Governments have created opportunities to leverage National PKI in their e-government, identity, and passport programs. The early trend was for government to implement the technology prior to defining practical use cases in support of value propositions; the “technology lead approach”. The result is a fractured environment where some programs are thriving, and others are languishing. In this session, Mr. D’Angio will review these successes and failures on a global basis. He will provide examples of how partnership with industry, standards, business cases, and the technology have contributed to both strong and weak value propositions. In summary Mr. D’Angio will provide suggestions for the audience to consider on how to create value for citizens, industry, and government through its National PKI program.
