| IAWG | The IAWG's goal is to provide public and private sector organizations with well-defined means of relying on identity credentials and assertions issued by a variety of identity service providers for both authentication and authorization, in order to advance trusted identity federation and thereby facilitate broad user acceptance. In line with this goal, here is IAWG’s scope: - Define standards and frameworks for identity assurance policy for both the public and private sectors at a global scale
- Promote wider use of identity credentials at various LOA.
- Analyze technology, policies, standards, and solutions relating to identity federation and identity assurance.
- Identify opportunities where adoption of the IAF could save time and resources in implementing identity federations
- Formulate pragmatic guidelines, recommended practices, proposed deployment models and methodologies for organizations to adopt solutions and approaches to online services that leverage identity assurance
- Seek harmonization and standardization – avoid "re-inventing the wheel" or needlessly duplicating effort by identifying best practices across multiple industry sectors in this globally diverse working group and investing in productive liaison relationships across industries and geographies.
