Implement the Federal Government elements of the Identity Ecosystem.

Other Information:

The Federal Government will also implement the Identity Ecosystem In the areas where it has unique capabilities, the Federal Government may act as an identity or attribute provider It will also offer services online as a relying party and, as a subject, will use services provided by others The Federal Government must continue to lead by example and be an early adopter of identity solutions that align with the Identity Ecosystem Framework By adopting Identity Ecosystem solutions as a service provider, the Federal Government will raise individual’s expectations and thus drive individuals’ demand for interoperability in their transactions with the private sector and other levels of government. As a subject, the Federal Government must also continue to leverage its buying power as a significant customer of the private sector to motivate the supply of these solutions To that end, the expansion of government services, pilots, and policies that align with the Identity Ecosystem should be accelerated 10 The Federal Government will continue to follow the FICAM Roadmap and Implementation Guidance and will build upon that work to further advance the Identity Ecosystem.
