Contents of this deck

• The Value of establishing an IDESG-Acknowledged ID Ecosystem (interim or long-term)

• Discussion of the nature of “Interim” versus “Longer term”

• Some possible descriptions of the IDESG-Acknowledged ID Ecosystem

* These slides should be modified as needed to circle in on the description of “What” we are working to establish

2013-10-30


Some assumptions

• There will be an IDESG-Acknowledged ID Ecosystem

• Participation will grow over time

• Structures will evolve and requirements will become better-defined over time

• Adherence to the NSTIC Guiding Principles is mandatory• The NSTIC Derived Requirements might be used as

a mechanism to demonstrate adherence to the principles

2013-10-30


The NSTIC ID Ecosystem*

will consist of different online communities

that use interoperable

technology, processes, and policies

*Source: The NSTIC Strategy Document

* The term “online communities”, while not perfect, should be used until IDESG determines the best replacement term and creates an IDESG Vision statement.

Rationale and Value

2013-10-30


The rationale for

• The rationale for establishing an IDESG-Acknowledged ID Ecosystem (interim of long-term) is:• The same as establishing any Standards-

based program• To acknowledge the ‘good actors’ in the

general ID Ecosystem• To influence service providers to use sound

practices• To signal to service consumers that there are

minimum acceptable standards of operation2013-10-30


The value in participating

• To enable identity solution and ‘online community’ participants to be recognized as being or strive to become recognized as participating in the IDESG-acknowledged ID Ecosystem

• For the cross-endorsement of participants to instill trusted brand power and the beginnings of a network effect for identity solution trust brands• i.e. The companies would not identify with it if it brings their

brand into disrepute• To assure consumers/citizens/individuals that certain standards

have been met and policies & practices are in place• To act as a finding aid for identity services consumers to locate

‘trustworthy’ service providers• To enable participants to promote participation as a service

differentiator

What is “Interim”

2013-10-30


The sense of “Interim”

• An initial group (as identified by IDESG) of ‘online communities’ which demonstrate that they meet the basic requirements of the Interim stage• E.g. have been certified and accredited by an IDESG-vetted

accreditation body• E.g. self-assert that they satisfy the NSTIC Derived

Requirements

• A period of time prior to a ‘big bang’ go-live of an IDESG-acknowledged ID Ecosystem in which potential participants can prepare for and receive accreditation

• A period during which any identity solutions can self-assert participation and satisfy requirements• A Transition period would be required to formally verify the

validity of these claims

IDESG-Acknowledged

Interim Ecosystem: Described

2013-10-30


What is the Interim thing?

• Consists of a few or several ‘Online Communities’ that are well-defined, well-governed, in operation, appear to be stable, satisfy the NSTIC Derived Requirements and have a positive track record of privacy and security management.

2013-10-30


These ‘Online Communities’:

• Have community-defined, documented and enforced:• Interoperability Standards; Shared risk model; Privacy policy, requirements and

accountability mechanisms; Liability policy and requirements

• Have community-defined, documented and enforced:• Policy, standards and processes that govern the activities of community members

• Can demonstrate that they satisfy all of the NSTIC Derived Requirements• Can describe the types of community-member interactions or transactions

that rely on identity- or attribute-related services• Can demonstrate a track record of consistent application of the Community

Rules; and the ability to detect, respond to and repair security and privacy breaches

• Have policies and processes for adding new members and revoking membership in the Community

• Have documented processes for handling interactions with entities that are not community members

• Have a business model that appears to support the activities of the Community
