NIST NCCoE Trust Framework

Jim Kragh

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is asking for collaborators to participate in a new project on how to "accelerate" the adoption of digital identities for mobile devices using two international standards.  August 30, 2023

NIST is seeking several categories of collaborators – “Issuing Authorities, digital identity solutions providers, Verifiers (also known as Relying Parties), and third-party trust service providers” – to participate in developing and testing implementation schemes, according to the project description published in June.

https://www.nccoe.nist.gov/sites/default/files/2023-06/mdl-project-description-final-r1.pdf

ABSTRACT There are several new digital credentials-based standards emerging and they are all silos operating in specific environments and written for specific contexts. As such, there is a lack of foundational, strongly verifiable, and trustable digital credentials available to make transition to today’s mobile device platforms. NCCoE cybersecurity experts will address this challenge through collaboration with Issuing Authorities, digital identity solutions providers, Verifiers (also known as Relying Parties), and third-party trust service providers. ……  Let’s discuss:  KI’s mission is to provide a Trust Framework service, should the RIUP and other Kantara’s WG leadership explore contributing to NCCOE’s mission?

The project description says, “While this project is centered on mDLs defined in ISO/IEC 18013-5, the concepts explored in this project will be extended to any credentialed Identity such as federal government issued credentials for agency employees or program beneficiaries, corporate credentials, travel credentials, health credentials, etc.”….. this includes the Underserved Population.
