Announcing the gamma (0.4) trust framework
So far, we’ve published three versions of the UK digital identity and attributes trust framework. Today, we’re delighted to pre-release the next iteration – the gamma (0.4) publication.
This week, the Office for Digital Identities and Attributes has published an update to the UK digital identity and attributes trust framework as a pre-release.
Services cannot get certified against this new, 0.4 or “gamma” trust framework just yet. That’s because there are no conformity assessment bodies currently accredited to evaluate services against this version.
We have published the pre-release so that:
- conformity assessment bodies can start the process of accreditation, and
- service providers have advanced notice of changes and can start to prepare their services for future certification
When it is possible to get certified, we will publish a final version of the 0.4 trust framework (replacing the pre-release). We expect certification will be possible from 2025, subject to accreditation having taken place.
You can find out more about what’s new in the 0.4 trust framework on the OfDIA ‘Enabling digital identity’ blog, and read the full publication on GOV.UK.
