PROGRAMME THEME:
Enabling Efficiency between Government, Business and the Citizen - Managing Secure Interactions in Sector Applications

TUESDAY, 28 NOVEMBER

9:00 - 10:30 | SPECIAL WORKSHOP ON THE STATE AND FUTURE OF PKI CONTINUES

 
Towards Trusted Web Services
Speaker: Kevin Blackman, CTO, Wisekey SA
WISeKey will describe how Public Key Infrastructure is being deployed worldwide in different sectors to secure systems, communications, and applications in commerce and government. Affordable solutions for eID management and establishment of trust management frameworks that enable organizations to ensure control over their identity systems and enables other organizations to trust their eIDs will be examined. These solutions extend to OASIS standards such as SAML, Web Services Security, Secure Exchange, and work together to create a Trusted Ecosystem of Service Producers and Consumers.

Enterprise Key Management Infrastructures: A New TC Focusing on Enterprise-Wide Cryptographic Key Management
Speaker: Arshad Noor, Founder & CEO, StrongAuth, Inc.,
As the internet becomes increasingly hostile, companies are forced to review their need for data-encryption for protecting customer information, as never before. However, given the highly distributed nature of applications, confidential data is spread across many applications in the enterprise. Encrypting all of them consistenly, while ensuring a low TCO is turning out to be challenging. In this session, you will hear about plans for a new TC, a DRAFT protocol that has been submitted to the PKI TC for consideration, as well as a demonstration of an open-source tool that has already implemented the protocol.


Establishing Trust and Privacy in the U.S. Government e-Authentication Intiative

OPENING KEYNOTE PRESENTERS

e-ID: A Key Enabler for Pan-European (eGovernment) Services
Speaker: Karel De Vriendt, Head of Unit, European Commission, Enterprise and Industry Directorate-General
This keynote presentation will give an overview of the Commission activities in the area of e-ID, especially within the context of the i2010 eGovernment Action Plan. The presentation will also address standardisation and interoperability and the impact of multiple competing "standards" (as they exist in this area) on interoperability and market uptake.


The NHS, Standards, Security & Identity Management
Speaker: Mark D. Ferrar, Director of Infrastructure, Technology Office, NHS Connecting for Health
This keynote will explore the importance and extent of standards and standardisation to the introduction of new information technology across the NHS in England.  It will reveal something of the scope and complexity of the challenge of managing the identities of close to one million computer users and the processes that control safe and secure access for half a million clinicians to the medical records of fifty million citizens.  The presentation will discuss what standards work well and what may be less useful at this time.  It will close with a view of future needs and call on the community to consider the unique opportunity provided by the NHS and its National Programme for IT when establishing standards that may become important in healthcare everywhere.


XML Security Standards — Overview for the Non-Specialist
Speaker: Hal Lockhart, Principal Engineering Technologist, BEA Systems
This presentation is intended to give managers and non-security specialists a overview of the security standards developed at OASIS. It will outline the basic purposes and capabilities of SAML, WS-Security, XACML, Digital Signature Services and related specifications and briefly describe how they relate to each other.

15:05 - 15:30 | BREAK

15:30 - 17:30 | IDENTITY MANAGEMENT SESSION

Real Life Solution, Real Life Problems: A-Select, An Open Source Federated Identity Management Solution
Speaker: Maarten Koopmans, Manager Middleware Services, SURFnet
This session will focus on A-Select, an open source federated identity management solution that supports SAML 1.1. A-Select is used in different domains, such as primary and higher education, e-government and the public libraries. This session will review how an open source product might be used in different domains, the roadmap for the next year, and how to coordinate such a roadmap across different domains.


Practical Cases of One e-Identity for Different Web-Solutions
Speaker: Zivko Lazarov, Senior Advisor, DigiNotar
Open standards and Independent e-Identity providers enable organisations to "outsource" the identity management function and allow a quick start of online access to their business process. Users on the other hand have one e-Identity for different providers of Web services. Practical cases in the healthcare and financial sectors will illustrate the success factors and lessons learned when implementing independent open standard authentication services.


Putting Citizens at the Centre of Identity Management: Building a "Personal Data Service Model"
Speaker: Peter Brown, Founder, Pensive.eu
This presentation will take a new approach to identity management, where the individual has greater control over how and where personal data is being used. Using principles outlined in the OASIS "Reference Model for SOA" standard, the presentation will explore policy, standardisation, organisational and technology issues concerned with realising this approach.
