California, EDL's won't make your grass green again
Voluntary Real ID compliant EDLs for State drivers? Not a good standard to imitate
BTC Commentary -- The Enhanced Driver's Licens (EDL) is a Real ID compliant license which adopts global standardization [WHTI] for border crossings into Mexico and Canada using an RFID chip. California is now considering a bill which would adopt this federal standard for the State license. The State currently meets many of the federal (and far less controversial) benchmarks for federal compliance. However, the bankrupted State is making hard decisions about what to do next.
Washington State opted for this method for use at the Canadian border State, as one example of this policy. Their drivers license policies are not a good act to follow. Here's why.

Real ID Roundup in Tennessee, Florida, New Mexico
BTC Real ID Roundup
Tennessee experiencing turbulence on material compliance with Real ID. Two Tennessee State legislators came out to defy federal requirements on State drivers licences towards the January 15th deadline. Yesterday, legal analysts in favor of the federal mandate batted back saying most of the State was in material compliance with the law and was eligible to become certified. For those new to Real ID, a certified Real ID license includes a gold star and the ability for a locally issued license to be considered an internal passport by federal authorities. Tennessee passed a State Law demanding the repeal of the Real ID Act. There is an internal conflict between Public Safety administration and the legal precedent established against the federal law in the State of Tennessee.
Florida takes $740,000 to the craps table as they consider gambling with Real ID. Paul Henry, a local organizer against the measure will lobby the RIDE bill or the Real ID Elimination Act. Florida State's legal resistance to the Real ID Act is alive and well.

Kantara floats voluntary-compulsory authentication for social saftey nets
NSTIC policy experiment applied to government dependents
BTC -- The Kantara Initiative paved a name and a place for themselves by bringing bank card infrastructure to US food stamp programs and general relief banking options. Kantara's work centers on social safety nets and frameworks of anyone completely dependent on the US government for food, shelter or money. The user population for their services has dramatically increased due to Iraq and Afghanistan war homecomings and the 2008 economic crash. Slow job growth and unemployment has pushed many Americans into US social service systems in larger numbers.
NSTIC, the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace, is working with Kantara to bring an authentication credential system online for US social service recipients. Kantara's involvement would make transactional monitoring between recipients and guarantors more convenient. FICAM, the Federal Identity, Credential and Access Management, moved ahead in 2009 is a model for Kantara going forward, cites a recent report at Secure ID News.
"In the case of credentials, that accreditation comes from the Kantara Initiative. Kantara’s Identity Assurance Accreditation and Approval Program aims to grow identity credential services based on the four levels of assurance that are measured and validated in the U.S. Federal Identity Credential and Access Management (ICAM) trust framework."
