Perspecta Inc., a renowned U.S. government services provider, announced 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.
