COMMITTEES   |   State Digital Identity Working Group

About the Working Group

Issue Statement: Federal, state, local, and tribal governments currently issue numerous credentials to constituents for access to facilities or services based on a variety of endorsements. Many of the endorsements provide citizens with access to federally funded programs, but the issuance of credentials remains program-specific and has become a redundant process for many agencies and departments. By issuing a digital identity that has multi-platform credentialing options, it will result in improved efficiency and convenience for both users and issuers. To the extent such credential is honored by commercial entities, it will also improve efficiency and security of commercial transactions, including on-line transactions.

In an effort to lower the amount of data breaches and curtail identity theft, effective policies must enable trust across organizational, operational, physical, and network boundaries. The resulting framework will promote data security, privacy, and the high assurance authentication needed to secure information sharing and transparency in government. Guidance on the approach to identity management will encourage a shift away from stove-piped applications to an enterprise view of identity that enables use without creating redundant sources that are difficult to protect and keep current.

Purpose: The State Digital Identity Work Group will provide a consensus based forum that enables State Chief Information Officers (CIOs), Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), Enterprise Architects and line of business stakeholders to collaborate on developing recommendations on federated identity management initiatives. This working group intends to provide a framework for the key guidelines for program management and collaboration. The charter seeks to develop solutions for a sustainable and supportable model for use in identity, credentialing, and access efforts.

Goals and Objectives:

  • Promote the use of an enterprise architecture governance structure
  • Distinguish appropriate capabilities for identifying, authenticating, and authorizing individuals appropriate access to resources
  • Enable trust and interoperability
  • Improve security and privacy
  • Facilitate e-government use by facilitating secure access to services and transactions
  • Increase efficiencies and reduce costs
  • Facilitate efficiency and security of commercial transactions
  • Seek to find ways to expand convenience of services while improving security and privacy
  • Investigate the short-term and long-term sustainability of a state digital identity program
