Key Principles in Legal Framework for Identity Systems
The legal framework for identity systems is crucial in ensuring inclusive, secure, and interoperable identification. Key aspects include CRVS registration, biometrics use, data privacy, and governance principles. Establishing infrastructure for unique identity, interfacing systems for service delivery, and deploying innovation ecosystems are vital for effective governance and industry transformation. Principles of identification for sustainable development emphasize inclusion, robust platform design, and safeguarding data privacy. Key design principles focus on accountability, data ownership, and governance within a strong legal environment.
