Having aired their concerns about cost and policy implications, many state officials now seem resigned to the Real ID Act, which requires states to issue driver’s licenses that conform to new federal standards. Many states are preparing for the new requirements and hiring systems integrators rather than waiting for the Homeland Security Department to release final technical standards. Even as Real ID looms, most states are focused on upgrading their DMV systems and are only beginning to think about interoperability with other states, said Gregg Kreizman, research director for security issues at Gartner. Some states might opt to go beyond the requirements and add encryption, biometrics or radio frequency identification technology. Many experts say DHS has missed an opportunity to push for adoption of those technologies.
