Abstract:
As the digital landscape develops, the significance of seamless interoperability in digital identity systems becomes even more apparent. As a part of a smart city, identity management and integrated technology are essential in improving administrative operations and promoting e-government development, bringing services closer to citizens and the local economy. This paper focuses on a Canadian Smart City of just under a million inhabitants, which has to solve crucial issues enabling the right balance between safeguarding user privacy and maintaining effective interoperability between varied platforms. This study explores the barriers to seamless interoperability among various digital identity systems and proposes future work that moves toward a secure, user-centric, and inclusive digital identity ecosystem.
