Effectively Authenticate and Authorize Access
It’s a growing challenge. Government agencies around the world have to protect their people, assets and information. And every day, there’s more data. More complicated infrastructure. New threats.
But agencies also have a lot of work to do. Services to provide. And they need access. The right people retrieving the right information. Getting into buildings and offices. Enabling government to serve the people.
EDS Identity Management is an enterprisewide security solution that helps agencies establish digital identities, verify individuals as authorized and control what they can use and what they can do. It converges processes and technologies to authenticate identities and authorize access – effectively and efficiently.

Identity management initiatives are building momentum throughout the world. The U.S. government, for example, recently issued the Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12) to set policy for a common, reliable and secure identification standard for federal employees and contractors. It requires all U.S. federal agencies to issue interoperable smart ID cards to their employees and contractors by October 2008.
Even more far-reaching, the UK government is considering a national identification scheme for its citizens. Airport security using biometrics is increasingly becoming a reality around the world. And radio frequency identification (RFID) tagged documents are being considered as ways to thwart terrorism and reduce illegal immigration in many civilized countries.
EDS’ Identity Management Services is a comprehensive answer to all those needs, and others, with features that include:
