This will enable Federal government relying parties to:
* verify the validity of the identity card via the Identity Authentication PKI Certificate
* verify the issuing organization (i.e., CA cross-certified with FBCA)
* be assured that the certificate (and by extension, the card) hasnot been revoked or invalidated since issuance
Pass ID is a bill that I support. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) worked with governors and other stakeholders to provide technical assistance in its drafting and—so the approach that Pass ID takes to fix REAL ID is one that I support. I think it makes sense. This is an important piece of national security legislation that is designed to help fulfill the 9/11 Commission’s recommendation that the Federal Government set security standards for driver’s licenses.
