Identity Provider

As systems become more connected and interoperable, ensuring the security and verifiability of digital identities and credentials is essential to maintaining trust in healthcare. As a standards development organization and leader in this industry, DirectTrust® has developed a new Identity Provider Program that targets organizations that issue digital credentials linked to verified real-world identities and adhere to high assurance levels (e.g. NIST SP 800-63 IAL2/IAL3 for identity proofing and AAL2/AAL3 for authenticators).

Our Identity Provider Program establishes a baseline of trust by validating adherence to industry standards and best practices for identity assurance and authenticator usage. Participants become part of a trusted community of identity providers, creating a unified ecosystem for secure online identity verification.

The Identity Provider Program is in its Beta phase, and is actively identifying organizations and identity and credential service providers to participate. Organizations participating in the Beta phase are committing to advancing the security and reliability of identity credentials, while also having a unique opportunity to provide feedback on the accreditation process and its criteria.

If your organization is an Identity Service Provider (IdP), Identity Access Management service (IAM), or Credential Service Provider (CSP) seeking to set yourself apart and establish a trusted reputation for issuing secure credentials for use within healthcare, please apply for Beta participation.
