[OpenID] News: White House to unveil revised ID management plan Friday

[John Bradley]

FYI  This is a renamed version of the NSSOT that the OIDF was asked to comment on several months back.

I expect it will include openID, but likely will focus on higher assurance for electronic transactions.

I haven't seen the new draft.

Below is what I know about the Friday announcement.

We still have an opportunity for input on the implementation plan.

Subject: The document formerly called the National Strategy for Secure Online Transactions

Dear Colleagues and Friends:
 
I have a number of updates to provide you. 
 
·         We have changed the title of the National Strategy for Secure Online Transactions to the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC, which is pronounced N-STICK).  The purpose of this change is to more accurately reflect the scope of the document. 
·         The next draft of the strategy will be posted publicly on whitehouse.gov/cybersecurity this Friday, June 25th.  We will be collecting comments over a three week period using an Open Government crowdsourcing tool called IdeaScale.
·         We have restructured the strategy.  There are now two documents:  the core strategy document that is being posted on whitehouse.gov/cybersecurity and a more detailed implementation plan.  Later in July we will circulate the implementation plan in a similar fashion as the earlier drafts of the strategy.  We are not planning on circulating the core strategy document again beyond Friday’s posting.
·         Our plan is still to have the strategy completed and signed by the President in the September/October timeframe.

We have made some great progress over the last month.  Hopefully that comes through in the next draft of the strategy that you will see on Friday. 
 
One other important piece of news… Friday will also be my last day at the White House.  I am headed off to Wharton Business School for a few years.  Andy Ozment from the National Security Staff (NSS) (JOzment at nss.eop.gov) will take over as the NSS lead for the project and he will be supported by the NSS Privacy Officer, Tim Edgar.
 
It has been my honor and pleasure working with you all on this effort.  I think it has great potential to make a significant difference in the cybersecurity posture of the Nation.  If you need to reach me after Friday, you can find me at elykahn4 at gmail.com.
 
Best regards,
Ely
 
 
Ely Kahn
National Security Staff
The White House
