NIST SP 800-63-4 marks an important transition away from checklist-based requirements towards risk-based digital identity management (DIRM) framework. It places priority on strong phishing-resistant authentication protocols as well as new requirements for subscriber controlled wallet technologies like mobile driver's licenses and verifiable credentials.

Trustswiftly's FedRAMP-aligned IAL3 Supervised Remote Identity Proofing platform offers such an uncompromising solution, neutralizing proxy networks and synthetic deepfakes with a cryptographic chain of certainty.

Verification

Nist 800-63-4 ial3 guidelines have established stringent requirements for digital identity verification, making HYPR an invaluable solution to organizations comply with these new standards by offering robust nist ial3 verification of federated identities as well as step-up reproofing to reduce cyber liability insurance costs and maximize security by decreasing their attack surface.

IAL3 provides additional evidence, validation and verification to reduce impersonation attacks. It requires either strong or superior verification strength for biometric comparison; however, CSPs may choose different pathways to align with IAL2 outcomes and requirements and should make their selection accessible via assertion or API to RPs.

The new guidance also introduces a shift in definition of LOA. Agencies should select their identity systems' level of assurance based on business and privacy considerations and mission requirements, rather than using one ordinal that dictates implementation-specific requirements; additionally, this approach offers clear standards as to what each IAL, AAL, and FAL represents.

Compliance

The IAL1 assurance level provides confidence that an identity exists by validating its core attributes against authoritative or credible sources. Core attributes may be obtained through identity evidence or self-asserted by applicants themselves and verified through multiple methods.

For IAL2, CSPs must offer two separate verification pathways (or, at most, combine them). Each pathway should respond to use cases, populations and threats facing online services, and be recorded within subscriber records with assertion or API access available to RPs.

Attaining sophisticated nation-state actors requires an urgent transition away from software-based identity solutions toward those that incorporate physical components. North Korean agents' ability to gain entry through standard remote onboarding, mail in laptops to IP-KVMs and exfiltrate ITAR-controlled tech underscores the limitations of legacy approaches. Trustswiftly addresses this challenge through a supervised, hardware-verified model that meets NIST SP 800-63-4 IAL3 specifications.

Fedramp

Identity assurance level 3 (IAL3) is one of the key requirements for selling to government and attaining fedramp high identity proofing, as it helps protect privileged accounts against advanced threats while simultaneously lowering cyber liability insurance premiums and making data breaches less likely.

Trustswiftly's 100% remote workflow system with controlled hardware and traceable evidence makes IAL3 feasible for distributed teams.

Instead of traditional IAL2 methods that require an auditor to inspect documents and biometrics on secure hardware, our solution instantly connects an authenticator with verification sessions for faster, cost-effective proofing while meeting NIST 800-63-4 IAL3 requirements for enrollment with cryptographic certainty.

High Identity Proofing

IAL3 Identity Proofing involves direct observation of physical persons during in-person or remote attended sessions that use advanced evidence such as document verification, facial recognition with liveness detection and cryptographic guarantee on FIDO security tokens to guarantee claimed identities cannot be falsified, stolen, altered or replicated. By offering more resilient authentication than passwords while mitigating impersonation attacks and decreasing fraud losses.

TrustSwiftly uses 100% remote ial3 identity verification software and hardware that ensure the chain of custody and integrity of evidence, for a faster, simpler, cost-effective process that protects privileged accounts from sophisticated threats while decreasing cyber liability insurance premiums.

Un IAL3 solution that utilizes step-up reproofing based on risk, document authentication and liveness detection provides your workforce with a more resilient experience than passwords - helping reduce fraud while simultaneously increasing productivity while decreasing cyber liability insurance costs and decreasing attack surfaces.
