OASIS has just launched their new Trust Elevation TC. Further details can be found below. Note that Kantara Initiative has a liaison relationship with OASIS.
“The Trust Elevation Technical Committee will identify methods being used currently to authenticate electronic identities by online relying parties and service providers, and similar methods in development or identified in theoretical models. By comparison and factoring of those methods, the TC will propose and describe a set of standardized protocols that service providers may use to elevate the trust in an electronic identity credential presented to them for authentication, at generally-recognized levels of assurance, representing increasing degrees of authentication certainty.”
