Summary
Electronic Identity Management Act; federated digital identity systems. Amends the Electronic Identity Management Act to accommodate federated digital identity systems. A federated digital identity system (federation) is defined in the measure as a digital identity system that uses federated identity management to enable the portability of identity information across otherwise autonomous security domains. Federated identity management is defined in the measure as a process that allows the conveyance of identity credentials and authentication information across digital identity systems through the use of a common set of policies, practices, and protocols for managing the identity of users and devices across security domains. The digital identity systems involved in a federation are required to be compliant with the Commonwealth's identity management standards and with the provisions of the governing identity trust framework.

What changed in the latest version
28 added · 30 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent amendment to Bill SB 665 clarified who is liable for compliance with identity management standards in Virginia. The changes specify that identity trust framework operators and providers can avoid liability if they did not engage in gross negligence or willful misconduct when issuing identity credentials. This matters because it provides them with greater protection against lawsuits and encourages adherence to standards while minimizing undue risk. Additionally, it makes it clear that they are not responsible for any misuse of identity credentials by the holders.
