In an increasingly connected digital environment, the management of identity relationships between users, artificial intelligence systems, smart devices, and sensors has become critical. The standard provides a comprehensive framework for managing such relationships and managing application data access using identity relationships, emphasizing data interoperability, security, and regulatory compliance. By establishing clear protocols for data access, privacy, and integration with third-party utilities, the standard aims to provide accurate, secure, and transparent handling of identity relationships and the flow of data between different identity relationships. As the digital ecosystem evolves, the standard emphasizes the importance of adaptability, urging regular updates based on technological advancements and emerging challenges.

Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
P3812.3
Standard for Decentralized/Disintermediation Identity Framework Based on Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)
The standard describes the establishment and implementation of a decentralized identity framework that utilizes distributed ledger technology (DLT) as its underlying trust anchor. Its goal is to promote open interoperability across various systems, providing reliable entity identification and universal access management. The framework, combined with blockchain technology and network protocols, enables trustless, open operations previously limited to closed systems, and multi-system interoperability rooted in autonomous identity. Together, these elements create a trustless environment that enables entities to independently verify identities and credentials without the need for centralized oversight. The goal of the framework is to unify identity transaction interfaces, thereby facilitating smooth interactions with external components and third-party services.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
3812.1-2023
IEEE Standard for General Requirements for Identity Framework for Metaverse
The requirements of an identity framework for metaverse is defined in this standard. An identity framework for use across different metaverse systems is provided. Furthermore, the relevance between real world and virtual world entities is recognized. Business logic, operational procedures, and authentication programs is covered in this standard. Also, terminologies, a basic architectural framework, and key indicators are defined.
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
