NextGov/FCW – The National Institute of Standards and Technology released new digital identity guidelines on Friday, updating standards dating back to 2017 to respond to a changing landscape. These guidelines outline the process and technical requirements for digital identity proofing, authentication, and federation. Many non-governmental organizations also look to these standards.
