Overview As part of the President's Management Agenda, the E-Authentication initiative has been established to enable trust and confidence in E-Government transactions via the establishment of an integrated policy and technical infrastructure for electronic authentication. The result is the Authentication Service Component (ASC). The ASC is a federated architecture that is strategically designed to support different identity assurance schemes simultaneously. By integrating with the ASC, an application owner no longer needs to build or maintain an authentication structure. Rather, they use one of the standard authentication schemes supported by the ASC. Each scheme has its own specification for use. Therefore, an ASC Interface Specification is required for each scheme detailing how that scheme integrates into the ASC.
