Identity Management Task Force Report 2008
Abstract
The Subcommittee on Biometrics and Identity Management was chartered by the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) Committee on Technology (COT) and has been in operation since 2003. The purpose of the Subcommittee is to advise and assist the COT, NSTC, and other coordination bodies of the Executive Office of the President on policies, procedures, and plans for federally sponsored biometric and Identity Management (IdM) activities. The Task Force was chartered to study federal IdM over a six-month period, with a broad range of representation from different government missions, and was given three primary tasks: 1) Provide an assessment of the current state of IdM in the U.S. government; 2) Develop a vision for how IdM should operate in the future; 3) Develop first-step recommendations on how to advance toward this vision. This report presents an overview of the current state of federal IdM systems and also presents a high-level vision of how these systems can be holistically designed to provide better services while increasing privacy protection. The purpose of this report is to initiate further discussion on this vision, inform policy decisions, and provide direction on which to base near-term research.
