Digital Identity and CARES 2.0
Channel: R Street Institute
Date: 29/05/2020

In an era when face-to-face transactions have been replaced by ones online, identity becomes critical. So many services—in banking, healthcare, government and e-commerce—depend on knowing “who is on the other side” of a transaction. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the ability to offer high-value transactions and services online is being tested more than ever, due in large part to the challenges of proving identity online. There are a number of modest but important steps Congress and the executive branch can take to make digital identity a more secure reality. Join us for this webinar as we discuss those ideas and how they might be part of the next COVID-19 legislative package.

R Street Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, public policy research organization. Our mission is to engage in policy research and outreach to promote free markets and limited, effective government. 

We believe free markets work better than the alternatives. We also recognize that the legislative process calls for practical responses to current problems. To that end, our motto is “Free markets. Real solutions.” 

We offer research and analysis that advance the goals of a more market-oriented society and an effective, efficient government, with the full realization that progress on the ground tends to be made one inch at a time. In other words, we look for free-market victories on the margin.
