Kantara Anti-Trust Statement
ARTICLE 19 COMPLIANCE WITH ANTITRUST LAWS The members will be combining unique experience and
skills to foster identity community harmonization, interoperability, innovation and broad adoption through the
development of open identity Technical Specifications, operational frameworks, education programs,
deployment and usage best practices for privacy-respecting, secure access to online services. This purpose is
believed by the Members to be more difficult to achieve through the independent efforts of each company.
The Members are committed to fostering open competition. The Members understand that in certain lines of
business they are direct competitors and that it is imperative that they and their representatives act in a
manner which does not violate any applicable antitrust or competition laws pertaining to monopolistic or
anti-competitive practices. Thus, all Members shall comply with all applicable antitrust and competition laws
of all relevant jurisdictions. In addition, with the advice of counsel, the Board shall from time to time
promulgate detailed Antitrust Compliance Guidelines for the consideration of the Members concerning their
participation in the Corporation. These Guidelines are not intended to replace or displace each member’s own
antitrust policies but shall operate to guide the Members’ participation in the Corporation. Members are not
required to develop or market any offerings and are not precluded from engaging in any business activities
whatsoever, even if they are competitive with the activities conducted under these Bylaws.

UK CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
REPORT

Kantara UK Program Overview
Overview:
 Significant UK government push to get nationally useful
verified digital identity scheme in place
 Lots of industry consultation, trust framework (DIATF) has
been developed and agreed; and the relevant legislation is
making its way through parliament
 Tangible progress has been made which will help drive
adoption (i.e. the UK ‘right to work’ scheme is going to
leverage the DIATF)

Kantara UK Program Overview
Where Does Kantara Fit In?
 Verification/Identity/Credential providers need to operate
according to the agreed/published standards
 Identity Service Providers must be accredited by an assurance
provider in order to create trust in the system as a whole
 Kantara has been accepted as one of the 5 assurance
providers

Where are we
now? What
happens next?
• We (Kantara) now have an established
UK entity, supported by an advisory
board
• Good progress since the initial launch
of the program
• Anticipating lots more to talk about in
12 months time!
● 37 total engagements
● 4 companies currently
undergoing Audit
● 2 companies anticipated
to be granted certification
in December
● 5 new quotes submitted in
November

WORK GROUP REPORTS

Working Group Report:
Identity Assurance (IA -WG)
The IAWG is a key part of Kantara’s Assurance Program, along with the Assurance Review
Board, approved Assessors, and the Assurance Program Manager.
The Assurance Program is not only the second-most source of Kantara’s revenue—after
membership dues—but also supports our status as a respected authority on verifying
compliance with identity assurance frameworks such as the one defined by NIST’s SP 800-63.
The IAWG’s specific role is to maintain the criteria and other requirements that companies must
meet to have their Identity services independently certified as meeting NIST SP 800-63
requirements.
IAWG leadership as of December 2022:
Chair, Andrew Hughes
Vice-Chair, Martin Smith
Secretary, Lynzie Adams

IAWG - Accomplishments and Plans

• Approved and submitted for publication
updates to the IAF document set, including
basic accommodation of “component”

clarifying the Kantara Identity Assurance
Framework
• Developed initial list of focus items for
upcoming NIST 800-63 revision
• Transitioned WG leadership

Recommendations, including deprecation

Resilient Identifiers for
Underserved Populations (RIUP-WG)
 RIUP-WG was created in October 2022 combining the prior HIAWG and FIRE WGs
 Charter developed, commenced early this year and was finalized in August.
 FOCUS: facilitating online identities for underserved populations including homeless and others.
 The ubiquity of smartphones in this population and the ability to leverage its features will help
engage beneficiaries in many forms of ecommerce and multiple transactions required for
healthcare, financial and other services required in years to come.
 Co-Chairs are Jim Kragh and Tom Sullivan, MD, both longstanding Kantara members and prior,
NIST supported NSTIC/IDESG members as were Catherine Schulten (Vice Chair) and Noreen
Whysel (Secretary).
 RIUP will collaborate with other Kantara work-groups and outside entities looking for solutions to
the problems affecting the Underserved.
 Currently we are recruiting new members and researching grants to facilitate reaching our goals.
