This is the fourth round of pilot grants since they were launched by the Obama administration in 2011 and is managed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
“The way we represent ourselves online is fundamental to nearly everything we do,” said Mike Garcia, acting director of the NSTIC National Program Office. “We need more—and better—tools to make online identity easier and more secure, and to advance the commercial deployment of privacy-enhancing technologies.
The aim is to encourage collaboration between company and public-sector agencies to make access to online services more secure.
Deputy Secretary of Commerce Bruce Andrews said:
“These pilots will provide innovative, practical solutions to ensure the trust we need to combat the growing threat of cyber threats and keep our online economy growing.”
