Abstract

The federal government promotes identity management, both within the government and between the government and other organizations. For example, standardized smart cards are being deployed throughout the federal government and distributed to certain contractors and grant recipients. NSF, NIH, and the Department of Education have expressed interest in pilot projects aimed at interfederating with higher education groups. These and related initiatives will be discussed by representatives of the participating agencies.
