NIST's digital identity guidelines define IAL3 as its highest level of rigor for digital identity verification sessions, document validation against authoritative sources, and biometric comparison of claimed digital identities to reduce impersonation and fraud.
TrustSwiftly helps organizations meet IAL3 standards and FedRAMP high compliance with its HYPR Affirm passwordless authentication and IAL3 compliant solution, strengthening authentication journey with chat, video, facial recognition with liveness detection capability and document authentication as well as step-up reproofing based on risk to minimize attack surface area.
IAL3 Compliant Solution
With nation-state actors and AI-generated deepfakes on the rise, relying solely on verification with NIST 800-63A IAL3 or lower standards is taking a gamble. TrustSwiftly provides an efficient identity proofing process which meets NIST 800-63A IAL3 guidelines to guarantee accurate identity checks for its clients.
This rigorous tier requires on-site attended verification, physical comparison between enrollee and evidence, and collection of at least one biometric. It represents the highest NIST assurance level to prevent impersonation attacks from spreading into threats that affect larger populations of users.
Compliance with IAL3 requires in-person attendance during an identity proofing session or remotely managed by a trusted agent. During these sessions, agents compare enrollee facial images against those contained in their identity documents while recording liveness using FIDO-certified hardware kits to create verified attributes which can then be securely linked back to digital identities preventing SIM swaps and MFA bypass attempts from becoming threats. Furthermore, this tier requires robust document authentication as well as verifying individual identities by binding authenticators to enrollment records.
Document Authentication
The NIST 800-63A IAL3 guidelines form the cornerstone of modern identity verification, emphasizing extensive, phishing-resistant identity proofing and strong, hardware-backed authentication. Furthermore, they promote secure federated identities by outlining requirements for attributes shared across systems.
IAL3 relies on direct observation during identity proofing sessions, NIST IAL3 verification against authoritative sources, biometric comparison between claimed digital identities and claimed biometrics and more to combat impersonation and fraud. Furthermore, its protection from SIM swaps and MFA bypasses includes linking biometrics securely with hardware authenticators like FIDO Passkeys for maximum protection against bypass attempts.
Contrary to lower assurance levels, IAL3 mandates CSPs verify facial images of enrollees against those contained within IAL3 identity proofing documents; in contrast, IAL2 Non-Biometric Pathway doesn't necessitate this step.
Biometric Verification
Passwords may be forgotten over time, while biometrics remain permanent - making them nearly impossible to falsify or falsify. When combined with the other requirements of IAL3, such as document authentication and risk based reproofing, biometric verification helps safeguard against cyber liability insurance claims as well as operational expenses associated with high number of password resets.
Facial recognition or iris scanning methods rely on biometric samples that meet certain quality thresholds to establish an effective identity verification system. At enrollment stage, each enrollee's biometric features are recorded and stored so they may later be cross-referenced for identification or authentication.
The IAL1 path is the least stringent option available; it doesn't involve mapping claimed identities to real life or verifying that those claiming these attributes actually possess them. Meanwhile, IAL2 requires identity proofing while IAL3 demands both a strong federation protocol and hardware-backed authenticators resistant to phishing attacks.
