Understanding the barriers of acquiring relying parties to NSTIC

BACKGROUND

The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) is a White House initiative signed by President Obama in 2011. The NSTIC envisions an Identity Ecosystem, where individuals and organizations utilize secure, efficient, easy-to-use, and interoperable identity credentials to access online services in a manner that promotes confidence, privacy, choice, and innovation. The Identity Ecosystem Steering Group (IDESG) is a private-sector led organization, funded by the NSTIC, that’s facilitating the development of the Identity Ecosystem.

PURPOSE OF THIS SURVEY

The Identity Ecosystem will be most successful if it has an abundance of Relying Parties (RPs) – organizations accepting 3rd party federated credentials from Service Providers for access to their services. Unfortunately, there is currently a dearth of organizations willing to act as RPs; this survey delves into this issue, seeking to further understand the barriers that prevent organizations from transitioning to this role.

WHY WE VALUE YOUR RESPONSE

As an existing or potential RP, your input is critical in helping the NSTIC National Program Office (NPO) identify and mitigate the barriers that currently prevent many organizations from accepting 3rd party credentials. The results of this survey will inform the work of the NPO in implementing the NSTIC, and will be particularly useful for the IDESG in establishing an Identity Ecosystem.

CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT

All responses - including any personal information - will be kept strictly confidential. No identifying information will be saved with survey data. All survey participant information - including contact persons and organization names - will be kept anonymous and will not

be shared with NPO or any external party.
