Configuring Secure Data Export

The Secure Data Export capability allows the IDMS to securely transfer enrollment and history data to another IDMS so that the person does not need to go through the identity proofing process again. This feature can save time and costs by allow enabling organizations to securely reuse identity information that was previously collected. The IDMS implements a secure multi-phase export and import protocol protected by multi-factor authentication and strong cryptography to ensure data is securely transferred only after the appropriate approvals have been made.
