Home > Government > eGov Projects > eGov Implementation Project - Wave 1

Project Description:

The Identity Management project will provide Federal Government with an application of a common system of policies, regulations, business procedures and technologies to establish the identity of those individuals (or enterprises) benefiting from an e-government service or a collection of e-government services. This benefiting community can be split into three categories:

1. The residents of the UAE whether citizens or non-citizens.
2. The businesses operating in the UAE.
3. The employees of the UAE Federal Government ministries and entities.

Vision:

• Establish a single sign on identity per registering user that enables this user to access all the e-services, included in his authorization profile, via any of the UAE Federal e-Government delivery channels; e.g. the portal web channel, PDA, kiosk, mobile, etc.
• Integrate with the National ID initiative in a manner that supports the single sign on identity. The nature of such integration remains however to be defined at a later stage.
• Implement e-Services in a way that transaction logs (records) remain fully auditable with support of full non-repudiation.

Objectives:

  • The residents of the UAE whether citizens or non-citizens.
  • The businesses operating in the UAE.
  • The employees of the UAE Federal Government ministries and entities.
• To serve as a single sign on mechanism for the e-services offered via the portal.
