This document discusses open identity for open government initiatives that aim to make government more transparent and easier for citizens to access information. It involves a public-private partnership between government agencies, non-profits, and for-profit companies. The goals are to avoid application-specific credentials, leverage industry credentials for government use, and use open standards and Web 2.0 technologies. Open identity is based on portable internet identities issued by multiple providers to users, along with multiple levels of identity assurance. It involves third-party identity management and a "trust triangle" model. Challenges include developing more high assurance certifiers and credentials, metadata interoperability, and piloting the initiatives.
