The purpose of the IDESG shall be to develop and administer the process for policy and technical standards development for the Identity Ecosystem Framework. The IDESG shall bring together all of the interested stakeholders, both in private and public sectors, to confirm that the Identity Ecosystem Framework provides a minimum baseline of privacy, security, interoperability, and ease-of-use through standards and policies, without creating unnecessary barriers to entry. The IDESG shall facilitate the fulfillment of the NSTIC goals to develop a comprehensive Identity Ecosystem Framework; build and implement the Identity Ecosystem; enhance confidence and willingness to participate in the Identity Ecosystem; and, support the long-term success and sustainability of the Identity Ecosystem.

The IDESG shall not itself be a standards development body, but rather an organization that promotes the development of standards by other existing standards development organizations and develops policies that serve to accelerate the development and adoption of the Identity Ecosystem.

  • Kay Chopard Cohen: Executive Director

  • Trusted Federal Systems, Inc.: Trusted Federal Systems, Inc. (TFS) is a systems integrator serving the federal government. Our experienced staff provides solutions which empower agencies to achieve a higher level of performance. We manage, architect, design and implement collaboration and information sharing solutions for government agencies resulting in improved organizational effectiveness. On Thursday July 12, 2012 TFS received notice of a grant award from the National Institute of Standards and Technology to serve as the formal convener and secretariat for the soon-to-be-established Identity Ecosystem Steering Group. As a systems integrator for the federal government, TFS has extensive, hands-on experience in implementing solutions where the authentication of a user's identity is a prerequisite in support of national interests. As a recognized specialist in federated identity management solutions, TFS designed and architected U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)'s "Trusted Broker Model" which was later implemented as a pilot by Covisint. This architecture is also the basis for FBI's recent roll out of an upgrade to LEO (Law Enforcement On-line). However, as the Secretariat the TFS role is "not to participate" in the Steering Group as a stakeholder, but "to support" the Steering Group by leveraging the strength of our team's experience in process and facilitation methodologies.
