Digital Identity Guidelines

Federation and Assertions

As digital systems increasingly rely on shared identity services, ensuring secure and trustworthy identity federation is more critical than ever. NIST SP 800-63C-4 offers updated guidance on how organizations can assert identity information across domains through secure protocols like SAML and OpenID Connect. The publication emphasizes integrity, privacy, and risk mitigation through structured trust frameworks and well-defined assertion profiles. It’s a roadmap for building scalable and interoperable digital identity ecosystems.
