Identity Management (IdM) Testbed

Project Overview: While there is substantial research and development underway in the area of identity management (IdM), fundamental questions remain regarding how the Department of Homeland Security should proceed in the coming years. IdM policies, standards, architectures, and technical approaches that support homeland security community-wide, and eventually, government-wide are major current and future initiatives for the Department. The Science and Technology Directorate Command, Control and Interoperability Division (CID) is addressing these questions through the creation of the IdM Testbed project. This initiative is working to find the best technical solutions, practices, and policies for IdM in the homeland security community through extensive research and experimentation. This project is part of the Knowledge Management Tools program area of CID.
