Another exciting program from the New England chapter of the
American
Society for Information Science and Technology
(NEASIS&T)
*****************
Who Am I and How Do You Know For Sure?
Identity Management in a Web 2.0 World
Thursday, 20 April 2006, 8:30am-3:30pm
Bartos Theater, Building E-15, 20 Ames Street, MIT,
Cambridge, MA
* How many times a day do you enter usernames and passwords?
* How do you keep track of them all?
* How often do you transfer private personal, financial or
company
data over the web?
* How secure do you feel about it?
* How well does your organization protect the private
information of
your consumers?
* How much of your identity is "out there" for
the taking?
* How many times do you ask your consumers to identify
themselves each
time they use your services?
Do you wish there was a better way?
So do Ben Adida, Dick Hardt and Paul Trevithick – and
they’re working
on it. Join the New England chapter of the American Society
for
Information Science and Technology (NEASIS&T) for an
invigorating day
with three leading innovators at the forefront of identity
and
security in today’s giddy environment of promiscuous
information
exchange over the Web. You will learn what the
technological,
practical and social challenges are for individuals and
organizations
in managing logins and the transfer of sensitive data over
the web.
You will get a sense of the range of initiatives exploring
solutions
and what the barriers are. You will hear from an academic
studying
cryptography and the semantic web as they apply to public
policy
issues like voting and health records (Adida). You will hear
from a
vendor developing solutions for organizations and
individuals
(Hardt). And you will hear about efforts to develop open
source
technology to give users more control over their online
identity,
profile and relationship information (Trevithick).
NEASIS&T is pleased to present another timely program of
leading
speakers and panel discussion. Join us!
