Today, ETSI’s General Assembly has approved two new Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) with Direct Trust and FIDO and two cooperation agreements with the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) and Information Technology Industry Council’s (ITI) The Green Grid (TGG).

With these new agreements ETSI extends its footprint in important sectors for the twin transition. The collaboration with these organizations will encourage and develop collaborative activities in various ways and will help structure and strengthen their relationship, fostering a closer co-operation.

Direct Trust is a non-profit, vendor-neutral alliance initially created by and for participants in the healthcare and technology communities, including Health Information Service Providers (HISPs), Certificate Authorities (CAs), Registration Authorities (RAs), healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, consumers/patients, and health IT vendors.

The Alliance is dedicated to the creation of standards and certification programs for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and passwordless authentication, as well as remote identity verification.

ETSI has upgraded the MoU signed in 2010 with ATIS to a cooperation agreement. The Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) is a standards development and technical planning organization that is committed to providing leadership for, and the rapid development and promotion of, worldwide technical and operations standards for information and communications technologies using a pragmatic, flexible and open approach.
