The government has reportedly formed five working groups to study and formulate guidelines for anonymisation of data, zero trust architecture, internet of things (IoT) devices, mobile device security, and digital education.
According to sources, these working groups, set up under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), will look to develop and adopt guidelines and frameworks for effective and efficient implementation of e-governance projects of ministries and government departments.
The reports of the working groups on anonymisation of data and mobile security guidelines are being reviewed, while work on guidelines for zero-trust architecture, online exams, and IoT devices is ongoing. In addition, these standards and frameworks will be a part of the updated India Digital System Architecture.
Furthermore, depending on the suggestions of the working groups, the government is likely to retain the function of designing, developing, and managing core blocks of these technologies and sectors, while allowing the development of apps and services on top of them.
