It is in the government's best interest to leverage open identity management standards whenever possible. In order to ensure these standards are viable, robust, reliable, sustainable (e.g., available in commercial products), and interoperable as documented, Federal Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) requires a mechanism to assess the identity management standards against applicable federal requirements, policies, and laws.
ICAM has defined a process whereby the government profiles identity management standards to incorporate the government's security and privacy requirments such that an implementor can be confident that secure, reliable technical interoperability will be achieved. Profiling does not change the existing standard but instead incorporates choices and best practices to ensure interoperability, security and privacy.
