1. TFTM 01-06 Interim Trust Mark/Listing Approach Paper Discussion Deck TFTM Committee IDESG Plenary Meeting January 14, 2014 1-14-2014IDESG TFTM Committee1

2. A trust framework is developed by a community whose members have similar goals and perspectives It defines the rights and responsibilities of that community’s participants in the Identity Ecosystem; specifies the policies and standards specific to the community; and defines the community-specific processes and procedures that provide assurance. Different trust frameworks can exist within the Identity Ecosystem, and sets of participants can tailor trust frameworks to meet their particular needs. An accreditation authority (aka “Certification Provider”) assesses and validates identity providers, attribute providers, relying parties, and identity media, ensuring that they all adhere to an agreed-upon trust framework. Accreditation authorities can issue trustmarks to the participants that they validate. A trustmark is used to indicate that a product or service provider has met the requirements of the Identity Ecosystem, as determined by an accreditation authority. Existing private-sector organizations already serve in this role in some sectors and can participate in the Identity Ecosystem if they so choose. A public-private steering group (i.e., the IDESG) will ensure that accreditation authorities maintain the minimum requirements of the Identity Ecosystem Framework when they issue trustmarks. 1-14-2014IDESG TFTM Committee2 What the NSTIC says

3. Trust Framework - Developed by a community whose members have similar goals and perspectives. It defines the rights and responsibilities of that community’s participants in the Identity Ecosystem; specifies the policies and standards specific to the community; and defines the community-specific processes and procedures that provide assurance. (Source: NSTIC) Trust Framework Provider - An organization that defines or adopts a trust framework and then, certifies participants that are in compliance with the requirements of that framework. (Source: FICAM TFPAP-slightly modified for context) Accreditation Body (AKA “Accreditation Authority”) – An organization that evaluates, approves and provides formal recognition that an entity is capable of carrying out certification assessment and validation activities for a specific trust framework Accreditation - The processes for the evaluation, approval and formal recognition that an entity is capable of carrying out certification assessment and validation activities for a specific trust framework.

4. Certification- The processes of assessing, validating, and determining that a product or service provider meets the defined requirements of a specific trust framework. (Source: FICAM TFPAP-slightly modified for context) Trustmark - A visual symbol and/or digital certificate that is used to indicate that a product or service provider has been certified to meet the requirements of a specific trust framework. (Source: NSTIC- Slightly modified) Trust List - A list of participants who have been determined to meet the requirements of a trust framework and are authorized to operate within that trust framework. Trust lists can be a simple visual representation or be integrated into the electronic interactions of a trust framework.
