Moving Towards Credentialing Interoperability: Case Studies at the State, Local, and Regional Levels

摘要

The objective of this document is to provide information to non-Federal organizations and their decision makers about the value of strong credentialing practices using Federal standards. Credentialing is a system by which identification cards or other tokens are used to authenticate a person and transmit skills, qualifications, and other attributes associated with that identity. Interoperability, in the credentialing context, provides the capability for a jurisdiction to access information and trust its legitimacy in order to make decisions about granting access and privileges.
