At IAL1 level, an identity may not be tied back to real-world evidence and may be self-asserted; typically used by businesses not needing high degree of confidence in remote or in-person verification processes.

Trust Swiftly's document validation, facial recognition and biometric comparison tools help your organization meet this rigorous compliance level more easily and simply.

Automated Proofing

CSPs often employ an Identity Proving Level 2 process which involves verifying claimed identification through evidence such as physical security features like holographic coatings and color-shifting inks that cannot easily be validated remotely.

Hardware-based NIST 800-63A IAL3 solutions offer a convenient way to automate this process, saving both time and money while satisfying auditors. Trust Swiftly's NIST IAL3 verification platform uses an approved device or kiosk with security protections against tampering that captures high-resolution images of documents and users as well as facial biometrics for comparison.

This software connects to various government and third-party data sources in order to match facial biometrics against identity documents as well as cross-referencing non-facial data from other sources, verifying physical security features such as passport photos, driver license info, social media profiles or physical security features that help prevent advanced fraud attacks such as document falsification, theft or repudiation.

Reduce False Negatives

The new NIST 800-63-3 guidelines introduce identity assurance levels (IALs), which signify the level of confidence with which digital identities correspond with real world identities. IALs range from self-asserted IAL1 through in-person verification IAL3.

Important updates include explicit recommendations of phishing-resistant authenticators such as FIDO Passkeys for both device-bound and syncable use cases, as well as formal integration of subscriber wallets and verifiable credentials as trustworthy identity evidence. This significantly lowers false negative risks - an essential factor in both reducing cyber liability insurance costs and improving customer experiences.

Trust Swiftly's supervised remote ID verification platform enables IAL3 compliance at minimal cost and complexity. It combines various verification methods - chats, videos, facial recognition with liveness detection capabilities and document authentication - into one seamless system to provide continuous identity assurance throughout employee lives cycles - dramatically reducing attack surfaces, while simultaneously meeting regulatory compliance, cost reduction goals and offering improved user experiences.

Enhanced Security

NIST SP 800-63-4's final release has substantially strengthened phishing-resistant authentication mechanisms, replacing email OTP and SMS-based verification with FAL capabilities, including FIDO Passkeys in its mandate. These pivotal revisions signal an important strategic shift away from checklist-based requirements to a risk-based Digital Identity Risk Management framework which assesses threats, service impacts, user populations and more.

As opposed to previous processes that relied solely on email OTPs, e-signatures, and SMS-based verification to protect against advanced attacks like evidence falsification, theft or repudiation, IAL3 requires in-person attended verification sessions with face-to-face supervision, document authentication, biometric comparison and direct oversight - an inherently more challenging approach when working with businesses operating within regulated industries that need additional levels of assurance.

Trust Swiftly's remote IAL3 verification solution simplifies meeting NIST IAL3 compliance for both security teams and auditors, offering an effortless IAL3 identity proofing session which saves money and time for both parties. Privileged accounts are protected against advanced infiltration attempts while Trust Swiftly produces a detailed compliance report which includes comprehensive details for both teams and auditors.

Flexibility

IAL3 verification mandates CSPs to conduct real world verification of claimed identity attributes rather than just online. This rigorous approach helps deter more advanced attacks like evidence falsification, theft and repudiation.

Trust Swiftly's remote verification solutions meet NIST IAL3 standards effortlessly and offer multi-factor authentication through hardware authenticators and phishing-resistant methods, deprecating OTP via email and downgrading SMS methods as well as other security requirements. Trust Swiftly's continuously adaptive solutions meet these needs with ease - meeting NIST's IAL3 requirements with ease.

Our hardware-based IAL3 compliant solution saves both money and time while complying with FedRAMP High compliance. IAL3's easy set up process ensures quick deployment while satisfying auditors. Once we find an available Kiosk Location within the US and provide instructions for an IAL3 session, simply submit a clear photo of yourself or real biometrics as part of a clear submission to receive grade A compliance or higher!
