8th Symposium on Identity and Trust on the Internet (IDtrust 2009)
Theme: Authorization and Attributes
This year IDtrust's annual symposium is more engaging and valuable than ever. We have panels that approach the questions of the day from diverse viewpoints. Topics include responding to the recent practical attacks on browser security and CAs that use md5 hashes; application-specific concerns; and the various alternatives for authentication, federation, authorization, and attribute management.
Keynote presentations will come from security and systems wizard Peter Neumann of SRI, and from Dan Blum, identity guru at the Burton Group, who has just finished a major independent review of Federal Identity Management Programs.
And of course as always we have cutting-edge researchers presenting new peer-reviewed papers on a wide variety of topics.
Come, network with your colleagues, and consider bringing your own short talk for the Rump session.
News
- Date for next year: IDtrust2010 will be held April 13-15, 2010 at NIST.
- The program now also includes links to all the papers and all available presentations.
- The ACM Digital Library now has the electronic version of the published proceedings at Proceedings of the 8th Symposium on Identity and Trust on the Internet. That does not include the presentations.
IDtrust
IDtrust is devoted to research and deployment experience related to making good security decisions based on identity information, especially when public key cryptography is used and the human elements of usability are considered.
The success of any collaborative strategy depends on having the right people gain access to the right information at the right time. This implies that an IT infrastructure has - among other things - an authorization framework in place that can respond to dynamic security conditions and regulatory requirements quickly, flexibly and securely. What are the authorization strategies that will succeed in the next decade? What technologies exist to address complex requirements today? What research is academia and industry pursuing to solve the problems likely to show up in the next few years?
In addition to peer-reviewed papers, we facilitate discussions among panels of invited experts and symposium participants. This symposium was known as the PKI R&D Workshop from 2002-2007.
