Those companies or brilliant individuals who want some of that chunk of change have to present solutions on &#8220;how to create, authenticate and secure online identities that can be used across sectors and purposes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the solution(s) cannot rely on passwords, or other &#8220;traditional forms&#8221; of authentication, and instead seek to create a new standard. There are a whole bunch of other requirements the solution has to meet, such as &#8220;enhancing privacy protections and being cost-effective, easy to use, interoperable and voluntary,&#8221; and then there are also a list of areas that NIST would like the new solutions to focus on. For this grant round, this is what they want solutions to either solve or incorporate:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>Concerns about the impact on privacy and civil liberties;<\/li>\n<li>Use of strong authentication technologies;<\/li>\n<li>Balancing transparency and ease-of-use;<\/li>\n<li>Building security, privacy and usability into commonly used architectures (i.e., RESTful API architectures);<\/li>\n<li>Limited deployment of successful trust frameworks \u2014 especially addressing multiple sectors;<\/li>\n<li>Lack of commonly accepted technical standards for interoperability;<\/li>\n<li>Lack of strong authentication solutions that can be used across multiple sectors and relying parties; and<\/li>\n<li>Lack of clarity on liability and other complex economic issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>NIST has awarded five grants a year for the past 3 years, for a total of $30 million. Jeremy Grant, the NIST senior executive advisor for identity management said that &#8220;these pilots will ultimately address barriers to the identity ecosystem and seed the marketplace with &#8216;NSTIC-aligned&#8217; solutions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Preliminary applications need to be submitted by March 17 at <a href=\"&quot;These%20pilots will ultimately address barriers to the identity ecosystem and seed the marketplace with 'NSTIC-aligned' solutions,&quot;\" target=\"_blank\">Grants.gov<\/a>.
