Motion to accept changes proposed last meeting

Jimmy Jung

Review proposal to revise Notice KI#2024-01 – Accommodation of Passkeys. From last week’s meeting, the WG indicated that WG members were to review the proposed changes in the email below and if no objections, a motion to accept is expected today.

Email:: Update to Notice KI#2024-01 – Accommodation of Passkeys - WG-IDAssurance - mailman.kantarainitiative.orgUpdate to Notice KI#2024-01 – Accommodation of Passkeys - WG-IDAssurance - mailman.kantarainitiative.org

Review proposed 'comparable alternative' criteria.

Richard Wilsher

Input: IAWG.2025-03 - WG-IDAssurance - mailman.kantarainitiative.org

The background story is that the IAWG drafted and approved for publication these criteria approx. two years ago.
Persons within the ARB strongly recommended that the criteria were not published since the entitlement for presenting a Comp.Alt lay with Fed agencies, and so the criteria were parked.
My understanding (second-hand) is that there have been some Approval applications that have been presented to the ARB and Approved, though how the Comp.Alt was addressed was not consistent.
I was then involved in an assessment for a client who, operating obo a Fed agency, was basically told to implement a Comp.Alt, so I dusted-off the criteria, inserted them into the SoCA/SoC and assessed against them.
As I understand it the ARB were comfortable with those criteria being used and recognized that having them widely available would provide a consistent basis across all Approval scheme assessments, if these criteria were invoked.

SO .. here they are, I think that the IAWG should review them again, given the time since they were first punted, and I’d be happy for them to be enhanced if that’s what they need, but I’d then like to see them put through the publication process asap. I would consider them to be material and therefore requiring a 45-day public review. Clearly, if formalized within the 63A_SAC, some of the commentary (e.g. “Assessor introduced criterion”) needs removal or modification.

STRONG+ evidence category

Discussion about what STRONG+ in the NIST implementation guidance is referring to.
800-63-3 has language to make STRONG+ a theoretical option - but it’s unclear where things stand.
ACTION: Jimmy to investigate and propose an action item.
