4.1: R&D
Drive innovation through aggressive science and technology (S&T) and research and development (R&D) efforts. Other Information:
The Identity Ecosystem is composed of technology and policy that must evolve to accommodate: * Rapid and unanticipated advances
in technologies that continuously revolutionize what can be done, how it is done, and who can participate in cyberspace 11
* Continuous innovation in imaginative new services, resources, and capabilities that increase the value of cyberspace to
all sectors of society * Ever increasing needs and expectations for cyberspace As these trends constantly reshape cyberspace,
the Identity Ecosystem must be continuously improved, stretching to meet new needs, enable new opportunities, and address
future cyberspace threats This requires the Federal Government to work in partnership with the academic and private sectors,
both domestic and international, on interdisciplinary S&T and R&D We need sustained, strategic investments to continually
improve the security, reliability, resilience, and trustworthiness of the identification, authentication, and authorization
of entities in cyberspace Moreover, these efforts should extend beyond the technical to address issues like usability, privacy,
incentives, and processes The Federal Government will also continue to promote the transfer of government-sponsored S&T and
R&D results to the private sector, to ensure that the Identity Ecosystem adopts and deploys the advances that emerge from
this effort.
