Relying Parties

FOR RELYING PARTIES

The Identity Ecosystem depends not only upon policy makers, industry organizations, Trust Framework Providers and individuals, but also upon those issuing and consuming the actual credentials. As a Relying Party, you want to drive business value (e.g., increase utility, provide a better user experience, and reduce fraud). By participating in Kantara and attesting to the IDEF, you are able to demonstrate to individuals that your organization stands by the very best principles in online identity management. As a Relying Party, your insight into the privacy and security problems facing your organization is critical for helping us create a more perfect Identity Ecosystem.

Similarly, some Relying Parties may feel overwhelmed by all the security, privacy and compliance challenges involved in participating in burgeoning the Identity Ecosystem. The good news is you don’t have to go it alone. Let our subject matter experts be your Identity C-suite-in-a-box and help you to identify the best practices and tools that will work for your organization. With the IDESG, you never have to approach online identity management alone.
