Notice; Establishment of E-Authentication Service Component

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the General Services Administration (GSA) proposes to establish the E- Authentication Federation, or "Service Component." The E- Authentication Service Component is a common infrastructure for electronically authenticating the identity of users of Federal E- Government services Governmentwide. Using a common network, this infrastructure links identity suppliers (termed Credential Service Providers or CSPs) and identity consumers (termed Agency Applications or AAs) enabling participating CSPs and AAs to communicate in a standardized way. The E-Authentication Service Component does not create or maintain any new Federal System of Records, but does provide for the authorized exchange of information among systems of records that have been or will be established to support Federal E-Government programs and services.
