There were a couple talks on this in a seesion at yesterday's e.gov
conference.
http://www.e-gov.com/events/2003/hls/conference/plenary.asp

Some of the things said were very similar to comments I made at NISSC
meeting five years ago (although at the time, some number of the audience
and possibly other session presenters blanched at the time). See
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/index.html#aads
and scroll down to 21st National Information Systems Security Conference.

e.gov presentation pointed to
http://www.fegc.org/
for more details on DCIS/FiXs program

The initial phase is authentication. Somewhat similar to FSTC's FAST and
some of the non-financial authentication demo's done at BAI four years ago
as well as NACHA pilot. FAST reference:

NACHA pilot references:

Presentation at e.gov session mentioned that follow-on phases can have
authorization as well as authentication and the DOD switch will not only be
able to route requests between different back-end servers but also
interface into NACHA.
