Digital Identity Guidelines

Establishing trust in digital identities is foundational for secure government and public services. NIST SP 800-63-4 provides the overarching framework for identity proofing, authentication, and federation across digital systems. This update reflects growing priorities around privacy, equity, and usability—ensuring digital ID systems are secure yet inclusive. The guidelines enable federal agencies and partners to better align identity solutions with today’s risk landscape and tomorrow’s tech.
