The Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions
(ATIS) has released ATIS-1000045.2012,
ATIS Identity Management: Mechanisms and
Procedures Standard. The standard describes specific identity management
mechanisms and builds on ATIS-1000044.2011,
ATIS Identity Management: Requirements
and Use Cases Standard.
These standards focus on establishing and managing the roles
and access privileges of individuals within an organization, company or
network. Identity management functions are used to safeguard identity
information and can also further develop business and security applications
through password-management tools, provisioning software, security-policy
enforcement, reporting and monitoring applications and identity repositories.
The new standard also provides best practices and guidelines to support
interoperability.
ATIS is a standards developer accredited by ANSI. Find more
