Abstract: The GSA “Equity Study on Remote Identity Proofing” will assess the impact of ethnicity, race, gender, income, and other demographic factors on the multiple components of identity proofing, which is the process of verifying that a person is who they say they are. GSA will test remote identity-proofing tools provided by multiple vendors that include both biometric checks using facial verification technology as well as non-biometric methods like mobile-device account ownership and credit history. The guidelines from National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-63A for remote one-to-one identity proofing serve as a framework for the study. Insights from this information collection will enable GSA to make data driven decisions GSA in the development of identity services needed for secure access to crucial government services.
