What has the IDSP accomplished?
The Panel produced a single, comprehensive resource of standards and guidelines that businesses, government agencies and other organizations can use to protect themselves and their customers against identity theft and fraud in just over 16 months. Panel members considered the entire life cycle of identity management: from the issuance of identity documents by government and commercial entities, to the acceptance and exchange of identity data, and to the ongoing maintenance and management of identity information. Hundreds of documents – including applicable laws, regulations, proposed legislation, white papers, and research studies and reports – are identified in the IDSP catalog.

Panel members considered the entire life cycle of identity management: from the issuance of identity documents by government and commercial entities, to the acceptance and exchange of identity data, to the ongoing maintenance and management of identity information. In addition, hundreds of documents – including applicable laws, regulations, proposed legislation, white papers, and research studies and reports – were catalogued.
