The Security and UX Standards That Power Digital Identity Programs
In August, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released a new draft of its Digital Identity Guidelines for the identity-proofing process. This covers technologies like digital wallets, passkeys and physical identification documents like REAL ID-compliant passports and drivers licenses.
The draft outlines ways to boost privacy, accessibility and security during the identity-proofing process for those accessing government services and benefits. Ryan Galluzzo is the digital identity program lead at NIST. At Identity Week in Washington, D.C., he spoke about the guidelines, the interoperability work that powers these technologies, and the importance of balancing security and accessibility when implementing digital identity programs.
