During the period 2002-2010 the UK authorities of the time tried to relate entitlements and the rights of citizenship in a national identity smartcard with a standard identifier for its particular representation and all British citizens. The scheme to introduce this identity keepsake for all UK citizens was finally left in December 2010.
This teaching case describes the history of the endeavour as promoted by the UK government and its particular bureaus. This is really a loaded case for examining several essential, current issues of relevance to practice and Information Systems theory which are occurring world-wide. On the one hand, the effort to introduce such an identity token brought into focus the essential function that its particular direction and identity plays as encouraging infrastructure in places including eGovernment and e-Business.
On the other, the introduction of a national identifier and associated token raised important challenges to public trust, data privacy and data protection in the info establishment of this nation state. Indeed, such problems represented a major part of the reasoning for the desertion of the undertaking.
