Identity Trust Charter

Name
Identity Trust

Purpose
Identity Trust is an effort that is focused on Opening Consent Management.

At this time people are not able to clearly understand what privacy and control they have over their own identity information especially online. This means that trust is obstructed in the use of digital identity services. While Regulators and Enterprise come to an understanding of what is self-regulation our information is taken, shared and used with archaic tools of consent.

This effort hypothesizes that utilizing the existing consent management infrastructure of consent mechanisms (opt-ins/outs and 'I Agree' buttos) can dynamically be called for post consent transactions for further management. Creating a dynamic way to reduce the friction between Enterprise and Users as well as enabling organization to dynamically have more valuable access to information from people.

Practices
This Work Group is call to action to develop an open consent management standards as a way to support and facilitate the emerging Strategies For Trust Identities in Cyberspace and digital identity management globally.

Calling for a identity consent management standard which enhances existing static Enterprise consent models with dynamic user centric consent models to not only increase trust and privacy but to also increase the economic performance of information sharing.

Currently there are the common Enterprise Consent Models for Identity Management:

- Implied Consent - Opt-IN - Opt-IN with conditions - Opt-Out - Opt Out with exceptions

These common static Enterprise models have developed over time in accordance with regulation and consumer demand. The current consent models are applied in an ad-hoc manner and are limited in their ability to manage informed consent. A component that is primary precept of privacy and requirement for trust online. This work group is a call to action to develop user centric consent management which enables people to centrally manage consent. The approach this WG proposes is to develop a consent notice standard to enable bilateral signaling of consent status.
