Minerva E-ID Assessment Framework (MEIA) Pilot Project
Abstract
The goal of this project is to determine the US national and international security implications of the Estonian e-Residency initiative and subsequently to develop a cross-discipline assessment tool, the Minerva E-ID Assessment (MEIA) framework. This framework includes a set of standards and tools to assess the security implications of these types of programs in Estonia and in other nations that are following Estonias lead. This will advance the basic objectives of the project, which are to enhance scientific understanding of international cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities, and to develop strategies for effectively addressing them. As a multidisciplinary endeavor, this project contributes to the social sciences by examining the impact and issues of a government backed digital identity on the populace and governments of other countries. The project also contributes at the intersection of law and computer science by creating a framework for estimating the impact of similar programs on the ability of malevolent actors to leverage government-backed digital identities to create adverse outcomes.
