Assurance

["Michael R. Gettes" <>]

Mark,

I believe your interoperation is not accurate.  We are comparable to 800-63 but to say it meets it is not true.  We meet being a FICAM approved Trust Framework.  Behind the scenes there has been lots of work by various people to work with the FICAM to have them approve the InCommon trust framework as comparable to the Federal Trust Framework.  This means, after a great deal of work helping the Feds understand us and then us understanding the Feds we have a shared view and agreement of how our trust frameworks work together and map onto each other.  I hope this helps.

I think the significant point here is that InCommon is ICAM approved (http://www.idmanagement.gov/pages.cfm/page/ICAM-TrustFramework-Provider) and that 800-63 is one of the federal standards ICAM uses to assess “the efficacy of … Trust Frameworks”.

 

The way I interpret all this is that InCommon Silver meets the 800-63 standard.

Yes.

So "comparable" but "not the same"?
