The COVID-19 pandemic is fostering digitalization and state-corporate collaboration, leading to the introduction of contact tracing apps and other digital surveillance technologies that bring about societal benefits, but also increase privacy invasion. This study examines citizens' concerns about their digital identity, the nation-state's intelligence activities, and the security of biodata, addressing their impacts on the trust in and acceptance of governmental use of personal data. Our analysis of survey data from 1,486 Canadians suggest that those concerns have negative impacts on citizens' acceptance of governmental use of personal data, but not necessarily on their trust in the nation-state being respectful of privacy. Government and corporations, it is concluded, should be more transparent about the collection and uses of data, and citizens should be more active in "watching the watchers" in the age of Big Data.10aAcceptance10aBiometric10aCitizen Privacy10adigital identity10aDigital surveillance10aIntelligence activities10aMass surveillance10apersonal data10aprivacy1 aWesterlund, Mika1 aIsabelle, Diane, A.1 aLeminen, Seppo  utimreview.ca/article/142702039nas a2200265   4500008004100000022001400041245011700055210006900172260004200241300001000283490000600293520121800299653001501517653002101532653001801553653001901571653002301590653002101613653001901634653002601653653001901679653002001698100001801718856003701736       2017                        eng d  a1927-032100aA Blockchain Ecosystem for Digital Identity: Improving Service Delivery in Canada’s Public and Private Sectors0 aBlockchain Ecosystem for Digital Identity Improving Service Deli  aOttawabTalent First Networkc10/2017  a35-400 v73 aBlockchain-based solutions have the potential to make government operations more efficient and improve the delivery of services in the public and private sectors. Identity verification and authentication technologies, as one of the applications of blockchain-based solutions – and the focus of our own efforts at SecureKey Technologies – have been critical components in service delivery in both sectors due to their power to increase trust between citizens and the services they access. To convert trust into solid value added, identities must be validated through highly-reliable technologies, such as blockchain, that have the capacity to reduce cost and fraud and to simplify the experience for customers while also keeping out the bad actors. With identities migrating to digital platforms, organizations and citizens need to be able to transact with reduced friction even as more counter-bound services move to online delivery. In this article, drawing on our own experiences with an ecosystem approach to digital identity, we describe the potential value of using blockchain technology to address the present and future challenges of identity verification and authentication within a Canadian context. 10ablockchain10aconsumer privacy10acybersecurity10adigital assets10adigital attributes10adigital identity10aidentity fraud10aidentity verification10aonline privacy10aonline security1 aWolfond, Greg  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/111200745nas a2200289   4500008004100000022001400041245004100055210003800096260004200134300000800176490000600184653001900190653001200209653001500221653001700236653002100253653001400274653001500288653001900303653001300322653002000335653001700355653001000372100001800382700001800400856003700418       2017                        eng d  a1927-032100aEditorial: Blockchain (October 2017)0 aEditorial Blockchain October 2017  aOttawabTalent First Networkc10/2017  a3-50 v710aauthentication10aBitcoin10ablockchain10acryptography10adigital identity10aeconomics10ahealthcare10ainternal audit10aservices10asmart contracts10atransactions10atrust1 aMcPhee, Chris1 aLjutic, Anton  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/1108
