PIV-I FRAC Technology Transition Working Group


About This Working Group
This national Working Group bring together states, local government and federal agencies and the private sector to support ICAM (Identity, Access & Credentialing Management) capabilities and the continued development,
testing, and evaluating interoperable tools, technologies, standards, and protocols for the purpose of controlling user access within and outside of organizational boundaries.

What is The Problem?
Federal and mutual aid emergency response/recovery officials (F/EROs) must be able to collaborate to ensure the public’s safety. However, for this to happen, many identity management challenges must be overcome. While Federal agencies are rapidly deploying secure common identification standards based on guidance from the White House and other Federal entities, State and local emergency response officials are working to establish a Personal Identity Verification-Interoperable (PIV-I) / First Responder Authentication Credential (FRAC) standard that is interoperable between local, State, and Federal levels.  In the past, physical access to sites would be granted based on personal judgment, rather than on hard identity data. Logical access to computer systems required only a username and password. Today, Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201, and other White House and Federal guidance specify that access to all Federal computer systems requires secure forms of identification based on smart card technology and identity-proofing procedures. Local, State, and Federal stakeholders need to collaborate to solve these identity management challenges.

News & Updates

iPhone Being Used for "On-Scene" Access
The U.S Department of Homeland Security is developing a standards-based application that will be able to validate first responders arriving to a scene using smart phones. Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate has been working on a smart phone app so that officials can verify and track first responders arriving at a scene as well as exchange attributes to make sure they have the necessary training....Learn More

New Video "How Do I Verify How You Are?"
How do I know you are who you say you are and by what authority are you allowed access? This video provide a simple overview of DHS Science and Technology's work.. Learn More

Working Group Goals
The Cyber Security Division (CSD) within the Science & Technology (S&T) Directorate, the FEMA Office of the National Capital Region Coordination (NCRC), the FEMA office of the Chief Security Officer (OCSO), and the FEMA Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) have partnered to convene the PIV-I/FRAC Technology Transition Working Group. The Technology Transition Work Group is composed of Federal, State and Local emergency management representatives, many of whom have already implemented innovative and secure identity-management solutions in their own jurisdictions.

PIV-I FRAC Technology Transition Working Group is focused on exploring PIV-I credentials as the standard that enables interoperability between Federal and mutual aid (State, Local and private sector) emergency response/recovery officials (F/EROs). PIV-I is a trusted identity and credentialing standard developed by the Federal Government for non-Federal issuers. Non-Federal entities that elect to conform to the PIV-I standard will be trusted by and interoperable with Federal agencies at very high assurance levels. 

The purpose of the PIV-I FRAC Technology Transition Working Group include:
  • Provide Federal policy makers with a unified state emergency manager perspective on F/ERO attributes
  • Baseline current identity infrastructure and best practices to share with stakeholders
  • Identify technological gaps where DHS Science and Technology stakeholders can provide test bed research and development support
  • Share information: State-to-State, State-to-Federal, Federal-to-State
The working group is focused on exploring PIV-I credentials as the standard that enables interoperability between local and State emergency response officials. PIV-I is a trusted identity and credentialing standard developed by the Federal Government for non-Federal issuers. Non-Federal entities that elect to conform to the PIV-I standard will be trusted by and interoperable with Federal agencies at assurance levels 1-3, and potentially at level 4. These authentication assurance levels are described fully by OMB M-04-04. 

Value
Identity management is a key enabling technology for all homeland security communications.  This working group will ensure that identity management technologies are rapidly deployed in states, while ensuring that the S&T CSD Identity Management Program is performing research that meets end-user needs.  State and local emergency responders are key stakeholders, and need secure, role-based methods of accessing Federal information.
