1Kosmos as a Credential Service Provider (CSP)

How 1Kosmos performs identity proofing as a Credential Service Provider (CSP), aligned with NIST SP 800-63A enrollment and identity proofing requirements.

---

Overview

NIST Special Publication 800-63A Enrollment and Identity Proofing provides detailed requirements and controls for the enrollment and identity proofing of individuals into digital identity systems.

Identity proofing is the process by which a Credential Service Provider (CSP) collects and verifies information about a person in order to issue credentials to that person, as illustrated below:

These identity proofing processes, controls, and requirements are presented in NIST SP 800-63A to achieve the following processing objectives:

• Resolve a claimed identity to a single, unique identity within the context of the population of users served by the CSP.

• Validate that all supplied evidence is valid (correct) and genuine (not counterfeit or misappropriated), and that the claimed identity exists in the real world.

• Verify that the claimed identity is associated with the real person supplying the identity evidence.
