Smart Card Alliance endorses presidential strategy for trusted identities in cyberspace
The Smart Card Alliance endorses the Obama Administration's National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC), developed under the auspices of the President's Cyberspace Policy Review by the National Security Staff and an interagency writing team.

The NSTIC initiative correctly recognizes that there are very real problems of identity management, privacy and security in our society today, and brings a much needed focus on solving the problems. Although its scope is limited to cyberspace, the Framework it outlines would also establish essential foundational elements that can help to strengthen identity, privacy and security in healthcare, social security administration, immigration reform and other programs in the physical world.
