NSTIC Notes (Secure Government)
) The meeting looks to define some requirements and working models for the NSTIC Steering Committee in advance of the Department of Commerce’s official request for comment on the strategy. It’s been a busy first half of 2011 hanging out at the corner of Governance and Security, and NSTIC (along with the latest versions of NIST Special Publications 800-37 & 800-39, OMB Memo 11-11, and the recently offered Cybersecurity Legislative Proposal ) is one of the key initiatives to come cruising down the pike in terms of the Nation’s long-term IT vision. Ahead of the first workshop, it seems now would be a good time to review what we got from the White House & Commerce in the release of NSTIC a little over a month ago.
From 50k Feet – NSTIC is an outgrowth of the 2009 Cyberspace Policy Review and an open invite to organizations (both public and private) to play in a new identity ecosystem. An ecosystem that halts the tidal wave of stockpiling multiple identities for every online use, dramatically strengthens the authentication of individuals and devices, offers substantial benefits in terms of privacy, civil liberties, and choice of credentials. It undoes the damage done to online trust when passwords were overwhelmed as a useful security tool and frees service providers from administering to identities, credentials, and passwords in favor of developing innovative new services and delivery. To quote Commerce Secretary Locke, NSTIC will place “a floor on identities without a ceiling on innovation.”
What’s in a Strategy? – At this point NSTIC is more about intent than specifics (hence the need for governance workshops) but depending on what sector you park your car in, there are some general prescriptions:
Federal – The Feds have been chipping away at the identity crisis for well over a decade now (largely in response to the requirements of the Government Paperwork Elimination Act of 1998 ) and over time they have made some significant strides both in technology and procedural standards (I call out a highlight reel of those efforts in the opening paragraph of this entry about ICAM initiatives.) So when the Feds address their end of building the identity ecosystem they acknowledge they have “unique capabilities” in this area and will “continue to lead by example The latter is a HUGE point to digest.
