MyID credential management enables US federal agencies to issue and manage secure digital identities, protecting user access to software, data, systems and buildings for cyber secure operations.
US federal agencies are under continuous cyber threat from state-sponsored, organised crime, activist and terrorist hackers.
To protect federal data, systems and networks from unauthorised access, the US Government has taken a proactive approach in legislating federal agencies to comply with best practice cyber security.
FIPS 201 is one such regulation, implemented in response to a presidential directive (HSPD-12) in order to improve the security of government resources and facilities. This standard and its related Special Publications define hardware, systems and processes for the secure issuance and maintenance of high-assurance, trusted credentials to federal employees and suppliers.
MyID issues and manages credentials to cards and derived PIV credentials to mobile devices, providing the highest levels of security for mobile working and ensuring compliance with US federal security standards.
