Take identity management from complexity to clarity through these interactive workshops guaranteed to jumpstart your conference experience. These information-packed sessions are a great opportunity to network with fellow attendees while taking a hands-on, common-sense approach to mastering identity management that will enhance your understanding of the informative, case study presentations throughout the entire conference.

Understanding And Using Identity Management Standards To Ensure Interoperability And Trust

Standards provide the underpinning for many successful systems, initiatives, and their underlying components and technologies.  This is also true for the area of identity management, particularly in a federated context where interoperability and trust are essential.  This session will identify and describe the technical and process standards that apply in the area of identity management.  Participants will learn what standards exist, who developed them, what they contain, where to find them, and how they apply. 

In particular, five areas of standardization will be addressed:

1. Identity management
2. Smart cards
3. Biometrics
4. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technologies
5. Credentialing

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn what you need to know to utilize these standards effectively in your identity management programs.

WORKSHOP LEADERS: Catherine J. Tilton, VP for Standards & Emerging Technologies at Daon, has over 25 years of engineering and management experience, including over 15 years in the biometrics industry. She has led the design, development, and deployment of numerous biometric systems in both the commercial and government domains, many of which involved smartcards. Cathy is also very active in the development of national and international biometric standards, currently serving as the US head of delegation to ISO/IEC JTC1 SC37 subcommittee on biometrics and chair of the Biometric Identity Assurance Services (BIAS) Integration technical committee at OASIS.

Andrew Webb, Principal Technical Consultant at Daon, has worked on the TWIC (GSC-IS 2.1 and PIV versions), and Registered Traveler (Verification station HSM) smart card projects. In 1995, Andrew started working with Smart Cards in 1995 with Cybermark (MPCOS), and also worked for Giesecke Devrient (Visacash, Starcos, Javacard), Motorola (Javacard), Litronic (CAC), and Saflink. He holds a BS from Carnegie Mellon in Applied Mathematics and a MBA from Imperial College.

How To Integrate Biometric Technologies Into Your Identity Credentialing Program: Strategies For Deploying Successful Identity Management Systems

This session will focus on best practices for deploying biometric-enabled identity management systems in large scale government and commercial programs. It will focus on the impact of biometrics on your identity system architecture, considerations for purchasing biometric hardware and software, proper collection methods, and common deployment pitfalls. The discussion will also include interoperability considerations, as well as case studies illustrating the usage of various biometric modalities for credentialing and identity management.

Attend this workshop and learn how to overcome the pitfalls and challenges that can develop during the deployment of biometric-enabled identity management systems. Specifically, you will:

• Learn from real-world examples of identity management systems that successfully utilized biometrics
• Identify the positive and negative impacts biometrics will have on your
  credentialing program
• Compare and contrast high quality enrollments with low quality enrollments – and learn how to obtain high quality enrollments consistently
• Discuss solutions to common problems of deploying biometrics, such as lack of interoperability between systems and end user privacy concerns
