Abstract
This paper seeks to apply Identity Management (IDM) principles to the social grant distribution process in South Africa, which has been prone to fraud and corruption. It discusses the social grant distribution process and the problems encountered. Suggested solutions to the problems are highlighted and these include moving from an Isolated IDM architecture to either a Federated and/or Centralised IDM architecture.
