Pan-Canadian Trust Framework | Cadre de Confiance Pancanadien

Public Sector Profile of the Pan-Canadian Trust Framework | Cadre de Confiance pancanadien

Overview

The latest update PCTF Version 1.4 Consultation Draft for public review is now available

The PCTF is a model that consists of a set of agreed-on concepts, definitions, processes, conformance criteria, and an assessment approach. It is not a “standard” as such, but is, instead, a framework that relates and applies existing standards, policies, guidelines, and practices, and where such standards and policies do not exist, specifies additional criteria. The role of the PCTF is to complement existing standards and policies such as those concerned with security, privacy, and service delivery.

The PCTF facilitates a common approach between the public sector and the private sector. Use of the PCTF ensures alignment, interoperability, and confidence of digital identity solutions that are intended to work across organizational, sectoral, and jurisdictional boundaries. In addition, the PCTF supplements existing legislation, regulations, and policies.

The PCTF supports the acceptance and mutual recognition of:

• Digital identities of entities such as persons and organizations; and
• Digital relationships between entities.

The PCTF defines a set of discrete process patterns (called atomic processes) that can be mapped to business processes. This mapping makes possible a structured assessment and evaluation of a digital identity solution and identifies any dependencies on external organizations and providers.

The PCTF is technology-agnostic and is defined in a way that encourages innovation and participation in the digital ecosystem. It allows for the interoperability of different platforms, services, architectures, and technologies. Furthermore, the PCTF is designed to take into consideration international digital identity frameworks, such as:

• The Electronic Identification, Authentication, and Trust Services (eIDAS);
• The Financial Action Task Force (FATF); and
• The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL).

Finally, it should be noted that the Public Sector Profile of the PCTF, in itself, is not a governance framework. Instead, it is a tool to help assess a digital identity program or service. As such, the PCTF may be applied in many contexts.

pctf-ccp's Issues

This is me image

Quick question - if the This is me image needs to have text on it, then it will need alt text, but if it doesn't we could use a caption below.

Repo name

Hey @trbouma,

Any chance you can make the repo name easier for people understand who searching github for cool projects?

What about:

• CdnTrustFramework
  *CanTrustFramework
  *CdnTrustFrmwk

Thanks!

Generalized to Digitial Identity

Should be generalized to Digital Identity Acceptance because the approach should be designed to accept / recognize multiple frameworks, such as eID, etc.

Web content - references to style guide and structure

Hi @trbouma,

I started a review of your web content. I updated a few sections to that there were full terms in front of the first use of acronyms. I also removed and reworded a few sections. I pulled and merged the first set of changes myself (did mean too). I did submit the second set for your review...

I'm working through the content while reminding myself of canada.ca and Treasury Board Secretariat of Canada standards.

Here are the links I use:

• IA Specification: https://www.canada.ca/en/treasury-board-secretariat/services/government-communications/canada-content-information-architecture-specification.html
• Style guide: https://www.canada.ca/en/treasury-board-secretariat/services/government-communications/canada-content-style-guide.html

Happy to explain more or help out elsewhere. Happy to see your work progressing.

PCTF repo name updated

The repo name has now been updated to reflect French - it is now PCTF-CCP (Cadre de Confiance)
Of course, material will need to be translated.

GCCollab - specific group

You should link the GCCollab links directly to the group that you want people to participate or join. If you can't link give them the keyword that they need to use in the search. For example my Community of practice is Public Engagement and Participation so I always tell my colleagues to search and join this group.

Thanks!

Contributors wanted

Please join if you wish to contribute, comment or just monitor.

Content - acronyms

Is it possible to either remove or replace the acronym that shows up on the top of the github.io page? Trying wherever possible to substitute full text in place for acronyms to make it easier for new contributors to participate and collaborate.
