(Digital) Identity Crisis: The US Needs a National Strategy for Digital Identity

  "Today, the US is in a similar place when it comes to digital identity. Every peer country in the world has either created robust digital identity infrastructure or has launched a national initiative to do so." "The US stands alone among its peers in lacking any comprehensive initiative to prioritize robust, privacy-preserving digital identity infrastructure. The impact of doing nothing is significant. Much like our refusal to migrate sooner to chip-based payment cards led to Americans being victimized by fraud at eight times the rate of the rest of the world, the absence of robust digital identity infrastructure is leaving Americans exposed to a wave of identity-focused cybercrime."
