Create accessible citizen services with digital ID systems
summary
Governments deploy three models: centralized (India’s Aadhaar issues ~1.4B IDs, reaches 1B in six years), federated (Nordic cross‑recognition), and decentralized (Estonia since 2001 with data embassy (Estonia)). Open source MOSIP powers rollouts in Philippines, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia and Morocco (MOSIP open source). Legal failures happen — Kenya’s NIIMS is ruled illegal. Standards matter: NIST, ISO 5009 and EU eIDAS; operational threats hit ~5,000 unauthorized attempts per second, so cloud benefits are scalability, multi‑AZ reliability and automated security.
