Good afternoon all: Kantara Initiative is delighted to launch the Trusted Transaction Assurance Work Group, the 9th Group in the Kantara Community! *Trusted Transaction Assurance Work Group (TTA/Trusted Transaction):* The digital identity landscape is at a pivotal moment. The release of NIST SP 800-63 v4 provides a modern, modular framework for identity proofing, and Kantara's US Assurance Program is poised to develop the corresponding assessment criteria. While these developments are foundational, they leave critical market-level and downstream challenges unaddressed, including persistent market confusion, component integration friction, and the authorization gap. Trusted Transaction will address these challenges directly, building the frameworks needed to unlock the full potential of a componentized, high-assurance identity ecosystem. Please forward to your networks. To participate, please complete the Kantara GPA <https://kantarainitiative.org/gpa-signup/> and meeting information will be sent shortly. We look forward to seeing everyone on the calls!
