Federated Identity, Privilege Management and Technical Privacy Implementation Project

Efficient and effective sharing of information between and among justice agencies and their partner organizations is at the heart of today's efforts across the nation to protect public safety. The Georgia Tech Applied Research Corporation will implement the "Federated Identity, Privilege Management, and Technical Privacy Implementation" project to support the Global Federated Identity and Privilege Management (GFIPM) program. They will continue to provide technical engineering and development support to DOJ's Global Standards Council, the Global Federated Identity and Technical Privacy Task Team, provide operational support to BJA and the National Information Exchange Federation in further developing the GFIPM program, and supporting implementation of GFIPM-standards based federation partnerships across the country.
