caption: an overview of the hsp12 key efforts
exif: {"Image DocumentName": "The Environment Prior to HSPD-12", "Image ImageDescription": "Before HSPD-12, the key efforts in the federal environment, such as physical and logical access and identity vetting and identity processes, were managed separately and inconsistently. Physical Access. Logical. Access. Identity Processes. Over 200 types of valid IDs, leading to inefficiencies and security challenges. Prevalence of IDs that could be easily counterfeited, enhancing potential for a security breach. In many cases, no means of electronic verification, providing little to no assurance of user\u2019s identity and introducing the opportunity for human error. Management of multiple passwords and user accounts increasing inefficiencies. Use of lower assurance credentials (e.g., password) introducing security risks. Inconvenience to users to remember/manage different passwords and tokens. Various processes for confirming identity of user prior to issuance of credential, making it possible for individuals to claim a false identity. Inconsistent vetting requirements, resulting in varying levels of suitability. No trust or reciprocity across agencies, leading to duplication of investigation efforts and costs.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
