Overview of DocumentsDocument:
Kantara maintains This specification sets forth KI's Service Assessment Criteria (SAC) to be used in SP 800-63 rev.3 conformity assessments for identity proofing and authentication services at Assurance Level (AL) 3. These SAC were derived from the strictly normative requirements (i.e. criteria were only developed from guidance expressed using ‘SHALL’) of SP 800-63 rev.3, as they applied to Credential Service Providers (CSP)for assessments whose scope includes the good standing of the organization which provides the service which is subject to assessment, generally referred to as the CO_SAC. Since their publication Kantara has granted a number of Approvals based on these criteria and anticipates growing interest in these Approvals in the short to medium term.
A contracted editor reviewed editor reviewed the current version and proposed revisions for clarification. These have been reviewed by a sub-group of the Identity Assurance Work Group (IAWG). There have also been some consequential changes to align criteria. The IAWG has now reviewed and approved each of these revisions this revision and Kantara is now releasing these criteria for a 45-day Public Review.
