The Government Gateway Service is the authentication server for all e-government services in the UK. The Gateway leverages open federation and interoperability of federation products to secure the electronic delivery of government services to citizens, enable authentication and single sign-on in support of a "joined up government" and to break down technical silos that had previously been hindering a transition to e-government. Nearly 8 million citizens in the UK are registered to use the gateway service.
"We congratulate the UK Government Cabinet Office for deploying a Liberty-based solution the IDDY judging panel voted as among the 'best-of-the-best' in digital identity management today," said George Goodman president of the Liberty Alliance management board.
