HERNDON, Va., April 10, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- NextgenID is redefining the identity proofing process for high assurance government agency and contractor credentials with its Virtual In-person Proofing™ (VIP™) solution utilizing kiosks, remote proofing stations and software.
Historically, government agencies and federal contractors issuing secure credentials were required to meet face-to-face to complete the identity proofing process. During this in-person proofing process, the individual presents breeder documents and provides required biometrics with assistance of a specially trained proofing agent. The requirement for physically present in-person proofing is very costly and creates many scheduling and logistics challenges and unnecessary complications to the credential issuance process.
NextgenID's VIP™ technology redefines the proofing process. The NextgenID ID*Capture® Kiosk securely communicates with centralized proofing centers where fully utilized and dedicated staff assist the enrollees from any established enrollment location. With VIP™, a dedicated In-person Proofing specialist in Virginia can enroll an agency employee in Washington, DC and then immediately enroll another employee located in California.
"NextgenID was instrumental in the upgrade to the SP800-63-3 specification and our VIP™ technology was used as the reference model for the adoption of supervised remote in-person proofing," says Dario Berini, COO, NextgenID. "We are the only company with a platform of products in production that meet the requirements for federal agencies and contractors issuing PIV, PIV-I, and CAC credentials."
The benefits of VIP™ led the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop processing requirements into the revised federal guidelines for agencies implementing digital identity services. This document was officially published and approved in June 2017 and adopted and approved by both Federal and Common Policy in August of 2018. This adoption provides Agencies and Departments that issue identity credentials such as PIV, PIV-I and CAC with an effective tool to both reduce the high cost of credentials and to repurpose existing personnel to meet critical Agency and Department efforts.
"The physically present proofing officials performing enrollments are the most expensive part of the credential process, bar none," explains Berini. "Their cost far outweighs the cost of a smart card, digital certificates, the issuance equipment and all other components combined."
As the concept's pioneer, NextgenID offers a robust product line that addresses the highest identity assurance levels (IAL3) and also adds efficiency at lower levels (IAL1 and IAL2).
"The only way to truly meet the new requirements for supervised remote in-person proofing is through the use of a dedicated and purpose-built kiosk," says Judith Spencer, Policy Management Authority Chairperson, CertiPath. "The use of supervised remote in-person proofing has the potential to result in significant savings for the credentialing community and provides many added benefits in addition to a better user experience."
"NextgenID's Virtual In-person Proofing™ technology slashes complexity and cost from the high assurance identity credential issuance processes," says Danny Mills, CEO, NextgenID. "By streamlining proofing, we are providing a means for agencies, contractors, and programs to implement high assurance credentialing much more cost effectively than ever before, while solving many of the logistical and burdensome personnel issues inherent in the current enrollment process."
