Online trust is the foundation of the digital economy. Digital identities are created as people use the Internet and produce information about themselves; they are the information collected and used online which represents the offline user. In order to be confident in their use of digital technologies, people must be able to have confidence that the personal data that describes them and their online activity is managed responsibly. Governments, in turn, must be able to protect people from online threats such as fraud, data loss, and digital exclusion in order to reap the full benefits that digital identities could bring. To build confidence, some countries have started issuing frameworks or guidelines on how organizations that create and use identity services should behave. A trust framework for digital identity management is a framework or guidelines that establish rules for providing digital identity services, to ensure that people's information is safe and secure and to ensure that such systems are built on trust and human rights protection.

These are guidance or toolbox created by a government as to how nongovernmental entities can share data in different contexts.
