Emerging Digital Identity Ecosystem Report Act of 2025

This legislation directs the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to produce a comprehensive report within 180 days of its enactment, which must be submitted to the House and Senate Committees on Homeland Security. The report is mandated to analyze the current state of digital identity ecosystems and evaluate the homeland security value of emerging digital identity ecosystems specifically within the transportation sector. This assessment must detail both the potential benefits and associated risks of these systems, providing a balanced view of their implications. Crucially, the report is tasked with exploring how these current and emerging ecosystems can better protect homeland security and simultaneously increase the competitive advantage of the United States. To ensure a thorough and practical assessment, the TSA is required to incorporate diverse perspectives from the private sector, as well as State, local, Tribal, and territorial governments, to the maximum extent practicable. This broad input aims to provide a holistic understanding of the digital identity landscape.
