The report analyzes vendors that enable a verified identity to be reused outside of the context in which it was issued (with other organizations, product lines or when the user assumes another role) while maintaining high levels of assurance with minimal reverification or validation effort. This ranges from using the verified identity multiple times at the same organization to using the verified identity issued by one organization with another, completely independent organization.
