CHANTILLY, Va., Sept. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Perspecta
Inc. (NYSE: PRSP), a leading U.S. government services provider,
announced today that it has entered into a collaboration agreement
with NextgenID to develop an identity proofing solution to remotely
assess and verify the identity of individuals who apply for
credentials to gain physical and network access to government
facilities.
A catalyst for the solution's development was the updated
SP800-63A standard from the National Institute of Standards and
Technology, which allows the use of remote identity proofing for
federal agencies. Perspecta's solution combines its architecture,
integration and operations expertise with NextgenID's hardware and
identity software. Using a kiosk, applicants scan their documents,
have fingerprints taken and get photographed. A remote verification
officer conducts the entire process and guides users via live audio
and video to validate all required information.
"The traditional, in-person proofing process for validating
identity, accepting documents, verifying their authenticity and
issuing credentials is time-consuming both for the government and
applicants," said Jeff Bohling,
senior vice president and general manager of Perspecta's defense
group. "Our partnership with NextgenID will provide our federal
customers with an innovative, yet fully compliant approach to
identity management that maintains security while simplifying the
process."
For federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Defense
(DOD), kiosks can be placed in multiple sites to offer a modernized
and convenient way to issue common access cards and U.S. ID cards
for active and retired military members, federal employees,
government contractors and DOD family members.
"The coronavirus pandemic, and heightened risk of in-person
interactions, has revealed a new urgency around the need for
supervised remote identity proofing," said Mohab Murrar, CEO of NextgenID. "Through our
partnership with Perspecta, we have expedited the development of
our federal solution that allows the critical process for
credential verification and issuance to continue safely."
