The Vets.gov team contracted ID.me and Ad Hoc LLC to deliver an authentication process that was compliant with the federal government’s most rigorous security standards, and provided a way for Veterans with existing login credentials (DS Logon and MyHealtheVet to continue to use them while making them more secure). Vets.gov integrated ID.me’s identity broker, LOA3 credentials and trust elevation solution. ID.me Identity Broker and Trust Elevation The ID.me identity broker provides a single point of integration to consume multiple credential service providers, in this case, ID.me, MyHealtheVet, and DS Logon. The trust elevation solution allows users to make their MyHealtheVet and DS Logon credentials more secure by binding a second authentication factor such as SMS or biometrics. This solution enables the VA to onboard veterans to Vets.gov with minimal disruptions by allowing them to use their existing DS Logon and MyHealtheVet logins.
