<p>The purpose of the NSTIC discussion group is to provide a centralized Kantara Initiative Discussion Group to facilitate:</p>
<ul><li> feedback to Notices of Inquiry and/or comment periods</li><li>planning of NSTIC focused workshops or event sessions and speakers </li><li>possible development of position papers</li></ul>It
is anticipated that this DG will be comprised of stakeholders who
represent area segments including: industry, user-centric, consumer,
public policy, privacy, governance and international<br><p>Background:<br></p><p>The US Government through the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released the National
Strategy for Trusted Identity in Cyberspace (NSTIC) vision, mission and
goals. This strategy has a goal to foster a public/private partnership
where industry and communities come together to solve the issues
identified in the NSTIC to create and identity ecosystem which enables
web service interactions to be:<br>
</p><ul><li><b>Faster:</b> Once you use your credential to start an
online session, you would not need to use separate usernames and
passwords for each Web site. For example, your computer or cell phone
could offer your "trusted ID" to each new site where you want to use the
credential. The system would work much like your ATM card works now. By
having the card and a PIN you can use your ATM card all over the world.
By having a credential and a password you would be able to use your
trusted ID at many different sites. This saves you time while enhancing
security. No more searching in your drawer for your list of passwords.</li><li><b>More convenient:</b> Businesses and the
government will be able to put services online that have to be conducted
in person today like transferring auto titles or signing mortgage
documents.</li><li><b>Safer:</b> Your trust credential will foil most
commonly used attacks from hackers and criminals, protecting you against
theft and fraud, safeguarding your personal information from cyber
criminals. </li><li><b>Private:</b> This new <a href="http://www.nist.gov/nstic/identity-ecosystem.html" target="_blank">"identity ecosystem"</a>
protects your privacy. Credentials share only the amount of personal
information necessary for the transaction. You control what personal
information is released, and can ensure that your data is not
centralized among service providers. </li><li><b>Voluntary:</b> The identity ecosystem is voluntary. You
will still be able to surf the Web, write a blog, participate in an
online discussion, and post comments to a wiki anonymously or using a
pseudonym. You would choose when to use your trusted ID. When you want
stronger identity protection, you use your credential, enabling higher
levels of trust and security. </li></ul>The NSTIC program office team
from time to time releases a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) and/or comment
period where comments are solicited from industry and communities as
input to the NSTIC team for consideration. <br><p><b>(3) LEADERSHIP:</b> Proposed DG Chair subject to confirmation by a vote of the DG Participants.</p><b style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Richard Wilsher, Zygma</b><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
