The Future of Federal Identity: Taking FIPS 201 Beyond the Card
This panel examines the evolution of Federal Information Processing Standards 201 (FIPS 201) identity models to support today’s digital-first environments. As agencies balance security, compliance, and user experience, panelists discuss how trusted personal identity verification data models can extend securely into mobile ecosystems—while preserving public key infrastructure integrity, certificate validation and National Institute of Standards and Technology-aligned assurance levels. Topics include hybrid card-and-mobile approaches, governance considerations and life-cycle management of credentials in a digitally connected environment.
