“Perspecta Inc. (NYSE: PRSP), a leading U.S. government services provider, announced today that it has entered into a collaboration agreement with NextgenID to develop an identity proofing solution to remotely assess and verify the identity of individuals who apply for credentials to gain physical and network access to government facilities.”
“A catalyst for the solution’s development was the updated SP800-63A standard from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which allows the use of remote identity proofing for federal agencies. Perspecta’s solution combines its architecture, integration and operations expertise with NextgenID’s hardware and identity software. Using a kiosk, applicants scan their documents, have fingerprints taken and get photographed. A remote verification officer conducts the entire process and guides users via live audio and video to validate all required information.”
“’The traditional, in-person proofing process for validating identity, accepting documents, verifying their authenticity and issuing credentials is time-consuming both for the government and applicants,’ said Jeff Bohling, senior vice president and general manager of Perspecta’s defense group. ‘Our partnership with NextgenID will provide our federal customers with an innovative, yet fully compliant approach to identity management that maintains security while simplifying the process…’” Read the full press release here.
