The DPRK's use of witting facilitators, IP-KVM switches and AI deepfakes to gain remote access to ITAR data and disrupt defense supply chains requires more than iterative updates to software-based identity verification; its solution lies in IAL3: hardware-anchored remote identity proofing.

IAL3's modular framework modifies assurance levels (IAL, AAL and FAL), and recognizes MFA and device-bound FIDO passkeys as pathways towards IAL2. Furthermore, it requires cryptographic binding in federated transactions as well as user-controlled wallets for more secure interactions.

NIST IAL3 Verification

Nist ial3 verification is the highest level of identity proofing available and helps protect against advanced impersonation attacks such as injection. This highly supervised process requires direct interaction between an identity proofing agent and real people in the same physical location to confirm their identities with superior evidence - providing a more resilient experience than passwords and decreasing cyber liability insurance costs by eliminating vulnerable password resets.

IAL3 can be time and cost intensive to implement for distributed teams, as it involves flying employees to an identity proofing session managed by Trust Swiftly where they would meet an agent and provide their biometrics securely on computerized hardware.

TrustSwiftly has reinvented the IAL3 process to make it more cost-effective and scalable for distributed teams. Our advanced passwordless authentication and ID&V platform combines chat, video, face recognition with liveness detection, document authentication and dynamic knowledge verification to support nist 800-63-4 ial3 compliance and reduce data breach risks and non-repudiation by creating a digital chain of custody that verifies who handled what data when.

NIST IAL3 Compliance

NIST 800-63-4 IAL3 is the latest edition of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's digital identity guidelines, providing a modernized framework with updated requirements for federated identity systems. While maintaining the tripartite IAL, AAL, FAL standards, this guidance makes several notable improvements; specifically retirement of traditional level of assurance (LOA) model in favor of more structured DIRM process considering business risk alongside mission requirements as well as stronger promotion of antiphishing authenticators such as device-bound FIDO passkeys.

Trustswiftly helps agencies meet these stringent requirements by offering a secure remote but supervised IAL3 identity verification process that includes mobile driver's license verification as ID&V evidence, biometric comparison with liveness detection support and step-up reproofing according to risk. Furthermore, our fedramp high identity proofing supports hardware-backed authenticators and strong federation for stronger man-in-the-middle protection and tamper resistance - helping lower cyber liability insurance costs, decrease false positives and improve phishing resistance.

NIST IAL3 Fedramp

NIST IAL3 Fedramp allows agencies to verify identities in a way that protects against phishing, man-in-the-middle attacks and other cyberthreats by securely binding biometric credentials with identity credentials. This helps reduce impersonation attacks, SIM swapping attacks and MFA bypasses; TrustSwiftly's ial3 identity verification software allows enrollees to authenticate with live agents using methods like video streaming, facial recognition with liveness detection and document authentication - while remotely monitored process includes step up reproofing according to risk while comparison of enrollee biometrics with evidence which confirms authenticity.

TrustSwiftly stands out from competing solutions by not requiring kiosks for its IAL3 verification service, making it easier for customers to get started and reduce cyber liability insurance costs and operational expenses while offering secure protection against cyberthreats. As an NIST IAL3 Fedramp provider, TrustSwiftly supports numerous ID&V verification methods, such as mobile driver's license verification; face, fingerprint, dual iris scanning technologies for enrollment purposes, attendance or remote but supervised IAL3, passwordless authentication by an attendant or supervisor and cryptographic security for protection.

NIST IAL3 High Identity Proofing

NIST mandates identity proofing at level three (IAL3) as an identity proofing standard and requires on-site, attended verification with verified biometrics. This method offers maximum security; remote proofing cannot fully achieve its aim; implementation is more complex, however. IAL3 needs an in-person and remote supervised proofing process in addition to having a higher-risk threshold and more reliance placed upon CSPs for risk management and data security.

NIST SP 800-63-4 updates its framework to better combat phishing and identity-related fraud, with enhanced requirements for FALs (Federated Assurance Levels). These requirements include cryptographic binding in federated transactions, new options for phishing-resistant authentication, formal integration of user-controlled wallets, verifiable credentials as well as clarification of role of IAL3 within wider identity ecosystem and introduction of assurance levels that more accurately correspond with technology advancement.

Fischer Identity has led the charge in implementing NIST IAL3 compliant verification processes through TrustSwiftly. Customers can open a no-code page from any desktop, mobile phone, or tablet and connect with a live agent who will conduct identity verification through chat, video streaming, facial recognition with liveness detection and document authentication - helping reduce cyber liability insurance costs and operational expenses by decreasing attack surface area.
