Abstract :
This paper examines the development in Ontario of the `enhanced driver´s licence´ as a passport substitute for entering the US, including the public discussion surrounding it. We discuss the significant security, privacy, and identity risks that outweigh the benefits claimed, and call for more effective public participation in decision making over future ID schemes.
