Hello everyone
...
1) There's the 'noise' around Trust Frameworks. That's good, because Kantara has been operating a Trust Framework for conformity assessment and assurance since 2011 when the very first Trust Framework in this space (FICAM) was launched by the US Federal Government. By design Kantara's was built to operate stand-alone as it is seen by most today, or operate as the conformance and assurance sub-set of another Trust Framework as it was under FICAM. As folks look at the other Trust Frameworks operating today such as eIDAS in Europe, at the TDIF (Trust Digital Identity Framework) in Australia, and they hear about the PCTF in Canada coming on-stream soon, and the Trust Frameworks being drafted in the UK, New Zealand and elsewhere, they are better able to understand the crucial role that Kantara's Trust Framework plays. That role is the crux of a Trust Framework - conformance, governance, responsibilities written into fully executed contracts. Structured policy, rules and requiring conformance to standards is all very well, but when 'the rubber hits the road' jurisdiction cross recognition looks first and last at the veracity of the service providers' conformance, as a confidence baseline.
2) There's a growing realization that NIST SP 800-63-3 (and soon revision 4) remains as the de jure de facto standard just as its predecessor 800-63-2 (or in its international guise ISO/IEC 29115 or ITU-T's x.1254 Entity Authentication Assurance) was. You can find elements of these in eIDAS Implementing Acts, in the UK's GPGs, in Canada's early work on CATS, in New Zealand's Authentication standards fr online services. Authentication requirements in Australia's TDIF are pulled straight from 63-3. Slam dunk. So if you are an international IDaaS brand and looking for the most cost effective conformance that gets you most of the way in most jurisdictions to minimize the in-country conformance lift, what standard are you going to choose to build your product against?

4) Globally, add in the COVID effect - more people needing more access to more services online - and in healthcare, in Education, in Financial Services, in Government services, in essence everywhere. And you there you have it. The perfect storm for the advancement of Kan.
