OASIS is pleased to announce that NIST will be hosting this year's event at
their Gaithersburg, MD
<http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/maps/nistmaps.html>  facility!

 

Proposal Deadline:  10 July 2009

 

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Barack Obama has directed the U.S. National Security Council and Homeland
Security Council "to defend our information and communications
infrastructure, strengthen public/private partnerships, invest in cutting
edge research and development and to begin a national campaign to promote
cyber-security awareness and digital literacy." The U.S. federal government
aims to accomplish all of this while becoming increasingly open and
transparent. 

 

President Obama also vowed not to dictate security standards to private
companies and not to monitor private sector networks or Internet traffic,
promising to "preserve and protect personal privacy and civil liberties." 

 

How do we balance open access, transparency and accountability with security
and privacy? 

 

As national and international governments endeavor to manage citizen's
identities while providing open, transparent and trusted services, the
challenges of managing identities and access to information on such huge
scales require careful planning, a strong policy focus, and attention to
standards and interoperability. 

 

Identity Management 2009 will provide users who are evaluating or looking to
deploy such security infrastructures with an opportunity to explore the
state of the art in security services, standards and products. It will also
provide users with an opportunity to present and share their use cases,
requirements and (initial) experience with other users and with some of the
leading experts in this field.

OASIS invites proposals for presentations and panel sessions related to the
security challenges in managing identities and access to information on
large scales. 

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

*	Information Cards/OpenID/SAML. How can these standards enable more
secure access to sensitive and personal information across government
agencies and with third party-sites supporting government operations?


*	Social Media. What are the security risks to agencies that plan to
use and support these new, publicly available, previously unimaginable
technologies and services?  How to share information about security
incidents and best practice.


*	Authentication. Can federated digital identity web platforms
completely eliminate the need for multiple usernames and accounts for
different agency portals? 


*	Smart Cards. Many national economic stimulus systems and
applications will require multi-factor authentication including smart cards
- how are government agencies using this technology?


*	Citizen Privacy. What privacy protections are possible in federated
systems? 


*	Citizen Trust. Can citizens really be trusted to manage their own
identity attributes? 


*	Cloud Computing. How do we balance its benefits while managing
identity risks?  How can cloud computing become a trusted platform for data
storage?


*	Key Management.  Large public/private enterprises consume/create
enormous amounts of encrypted keys. What is the future of key discovery,
maintenance and interoperability?
