4: Long-term Success

Ensure the long-term success of the Identity Ecosystem.

Other Information:

Due to the global nature of the economy and the Internet, the scope of the Strategy extends beyond national boundaries. Governance and leadership is required at the national and international levels to create the Identity Ecosystem, including standards development, research and development, and program coordination among public and private efforts. The Federal Government must undertake leadership, coordination, and collaboration roles in order to strengthen digital identities both nationally and internationally, to promote the next generation of identity solutions, and to establish the Federal programs to execute this Strategy. This goal seeks to address the following barriers in the current environment: * Insufficient resources focused on U.S. participation in national and international standards efforts. * The need for additional resources for research and development efforts to create innovative identity technologies. * The need for improved coordination across multiple programs and efforts within the Federal Government related to trusted digital identities.
