National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) Pilots: Trusted Online Credentials for Accessing Government Services Cooperative Agreement Program: NIST invites applications from eligible applicants to pilot on-line identity solutions for accessing government services that embrace and advance the NSTIC vision: that individuals and organizations utilize secure, efficient, easy-to-use, and interoperable identity credentials to access online services in a manner that promotes confidence, privacy, choice, and innovation. Specifically, the Federal government seeks to initiate and support pilots that address the needs of individuals, private sector organizations, and all levels of government in accordance with the NSTIC Guiding Principles that identity solutions will be (1) privacy-enhancing and voluntary, (2) secure and resilient, (3) interoperable, and (4) cost-effective and easy-to-use. NIST will fund projects that are intended to test or demonstrate the effectiveness of solutions for enabling individuals to better access government services that either do not exist or are not widely adopted in the marketplace today. To demonstrate that the solution meets the program's goals, NSTIC will be looking for the following characteristics in applications: i. At least two government programs, including state-administered human services programs, which will use the trusted credential; ii. A private provider to be used to supply at least part of the identity credential; and iii. Information on why the planned solution is replicable elsewhere.
