CIAM Identity Proofing and Verification 3

Question 1

What is the role of a 'Trusted Referee' in NIST SP 800-63A identity proofing?

Accepted Answer

A trained individual who assists applicants unable to meet standard in-person proofing requirements

Answer

A Trusted Referee is a trained individual (such as a notary, medical professional, or agency representative) who can vouch for an applicant's identity when the applicant cannot complete standard proofing, enabling remote or assisted IAL3 proofing.

Question 2

Which of the following best describes 'address of record' verification in identity proofing?

Accepted Answer

Confirming a physical or digital address associated with the applicant to establish contact and identity

Answer

Address of record verification confirms a physical or digital address tied to the individual, typically through enrollment codes sent by mail or verified credit bureau records, establishing a real-world connection.

Question 3

What is 'enrollment code' delivery used for in remote identity proofing?

Accepted Answer

Confirming that the applicant has access to a verified address of record

Answer

An enrollment code (often delivered via postal mail or SMS to a verified phone number) confirms that the applicant controls the address of record associated with the claimed identity.

Question 4

In identity proofing, 'evidence strength' as defined in NIST SP 800-63A primarily refers to:

Accepted Answer

The level of confidence that identity evidence is genuine and accurately identifies the individual

Answer

Evidence strength categorizes identity documents (Unacceptable, Weak, Fair, Strong, Superior) based on how reliably they establish uniqueness and are resistant to fraud, forgery, and misuse.

Question 5

Which proofing method allows IAL3-equivalent remote identity proofing using a live video call with a trained operator?

Accepted Answer

Supervised remote proofing

Answer

Supervised remote proofing uses a live, real-time video session monitored by a trained operator who can examine documents, capture biometrics, and interact with the applicant to meet IAL3 requirements without physical presence.
