Project information:

The Identity Exchange was built through an NIST Grant and currently supports a new application of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC).  By December, 2015, the Identity Exchange is to be expanded to include the DHS COMPASS online application for benefits application and management.  The Identity Exchange leverages a shared enterprise-level citizen directory and provisioning system managed in part by DHS.   It provides an interface between the identity repository, the application(s) using the identity repository, and provides means for a user with an account in the repository to undergo identity proofing so as to be more trusted by the application consuming the user account.
