Technical Approach for the Authentication Service Component

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 integrated policy and technical infrastructure for electronic authentication. After careful analysis and proofs-of-concept, the E-Authentication Program Management Office (PMO) decided to implement E-Authentication infrastructure as a federated architecture called the Authentication Service Component (ASC). The ASC leverages credentials from multiple credential providers through certifications, guidelines, standards adoption and policies.
