What is a Trust Framework Provider (TFP)?
A. A Trust Framework Provider is an organization that defines or adopts an online identity trust model involving one or more identity schemes, has it approved by an government or community such as ICAM, and certifies identity providers as compliant with that model.The OIDF and ICF will jointly serve as a TFP operating an Open Trust Framework as defined in their joint white paper, Open Trust Frameworks for Open Government. Certifications are for specific levels of assurance comparable with the four OMB Levels of Assurance (see question below). Once an identity provider is certified by a TFP at one or more assurance levels for one or more identity schemes, the provider is qualified to provide identity assertions to relying parties using that trust framework for those levels of assurance — in this case U.S. government agencies.
