IDESG Mapping from the IDESG Identity Ecosystem Framework (IDEF) to the Kantara IAF
About
The IDESG has undertaken an initiative to facilitate the on-boarding of entities approved by one or more Trust Framework Providers (TFPs) and Federation members to the IDESG Identity Ecosystem Framework (IDEF) Registry (https://www.idefregistry.org/). The IDEF Registry is a listing service which presents the results of self-assessment and attestation to satisfaction of the IDEF Baseline Requirements. Kantara was the first (and until very recently the only) liaison to IDESG. This initiative is intended to facilitate the self-assessment, attestation and registration processes for the Kantara Initiative as an industry TFP and Kantara-approved Credential Service Providers (CSPs) and Service Components to be listed on the IDEF Registry.

The objective of the subgroup is to determine if a Kantara-Approved service provider that is applying to be listed at the IDEF Listing Service Registry can claim to have fulfilled the IDESG Requirements as determined in the IDEF-SAC mapping. In other words, that service providers that implement systems to conform with the Kantara Service Assessment Criteria are considered to have met the relevant IDEF requirements fully or partially.
