The Alan Turing Institute

This conference brings together prominent academics and key players in the field of digital identity from government and industry sectors to focus on opportunities in the assessment and development of trustworthy digital identity systems.

Outlined themes and key questions cover the driving influences, alongside the characteristics that can attest to whether these systems are deserving of trust. They also seek to reflect the social impact, cultural, societal and behavioural conventions that have a role to play in anticipating vulnerabilities for the people these systems are being set up to serve.

A special issue in Data & Policy - a peer-reviewed, open access journal published by Cambridge University Press - has been launched in tandem with this Turing conference. Selected authors will be invited to submit full papers to the journal.

The resulting collection of papers aims to bring together knowledge that will inform countries’ development of trustworthy identity systems, and positively influence the ecosystem of standards, the decisions of policy makers and the technologies that are taken forward.

Conference places will be limited to facilitate informative, interactive discussion on the day.
