It’s integral to taking care of the business. From employees to partners and online customers, your users need secure access to the right information at the right time. If finding better ways to understand and manage your identity and access management infrastructure is on your mind, register now for the Gartner Identity & Access Management Summit, November 10-12, 2008, in Orlando. http://www.projectliberty.org/news_events/events/webcast_liberty_alliance_using_an_identity_capable_platform_to_enhance_cardspace_interactions PRESENTER: Conor Cahill, Principal Engineer, Intel Corporation DESCRIPTION: This session will examine and demonstrate how Intel's Identity Capable Platform (a research platform) can be used to strengthen Cardspace based Authentication transaction. In particular we will demonstrate a financial institution provisioning an identity token into the ICP which is later used to locally authenticate the user and assert the user's identity through Cardspace. This session will be of interest to anyone looking to understand how to use Liberty's protocols together with Cardspace to achieve secure transactions. http://www.projectliberty.org/news_events/events/webcast_liberty_alliance_identity_enabled_policy_orchestration PRESENTER: Rakesh Radhakrishnan, Sun Microsystems DESCRIPTION: This presentation is based on the recently released book: Identity and Policy, (http://identity-centric-architecture.blogspot.com/search/label/PPpermutation) and will cover the next wave of work in the Identity System Space, beyondAuthentication! Work in this space has been the topic of recent Concordia (http://projectconcordia.org/index.php/Catalyst_Concordia_Policy_Workshop_2008) workshops, where use case presentations were given by Boeing, Cisco, Micron, and the US Army. During this special 90-minute webcast, attendees can expect to gain particular technical exposure to the following topics: · XACML based policy abstraction for RM, RBAC, AuthZ, AC, DRM, etc. · XACML based policy alignment · XACML and ABAC · XACML and Contextual Policies · Policy based SAAS · Policy for Trust · Policy based alignment of Network and Services · PEP, PDP, PIP, PMP and PCCP model · Industry Trends http://www.projectliberty.org/news_events/events/webcast_liberty_alliance_understanding_the_process_and_value_of_full_matrix_testing PRESENTER: Kyle Meadors, Drummond Group DESCRIPTION: For two years now, Liberty Alliance has partnered with Drummond Group to offer full-matrix testing for our interoperability program (latest results available at iop.projectliberty.org). This move had earned positive marketplace feedback, offering a higher level of assurance to buyers of products that complete the testing. In this webcast presented by Drummond Group, we'll explore the testing program and full matrix testing, specifically: - What is full-matrix and what is its value - How the products in the SAML IOP test event performed full-matrix testing - Illustrate how SAML full-matrix interoperability testing mimics typical user deployment - Exploration of profiling scenarios: example of eGov Profile and possible future profiles http://www.projectliberty.org/news_events/events/7th_annual_smart_cards_in_government_conference_smart_card_alliance Topic: Liberty Alliance Identity Assurance Framework (IAF) for Federal Systems Panel: Commercial Technology Applications in the Federal Market · Microsoft OS developments – Ryan Hurst – Microsoft · Securing mobile devices – RIM/CAC · Liberty Alliance Identity Assurance Framework (IAF) for Federal Systems – Peter Alterman – Liberty Alliance · Sun Microsystems For Government PIV Usage – Ed Clay – SUN http://www.projectliberty.org/news_events/events/liberty_alliance_identity_assurance_pre_conference_workshop_at_didw Increasing regulatory pressures across the globe—recognized cost and time savings associated with federation—demand for privacy and less use of personally identifiable information (PII)—increased business potential from federated identity solutions: these are but a few of the marketplace drivers causing organizations to evaluate their identity management strategies. The opportunity—and the returns—are well-recognized and documented by early deployers who recognize federation as a brilliant technical key that unlocks a myriad of business opportunities. But more business opportunities lay beyond the wall of the enterprise—with true value unlocked and realized when single federations federate with others, transactions occur across corporate/organizational boundaries, and organizations realize the same benefits from a policy basis as federated standards have delivered on the technical front. But how do we get from the dream to the reality? http://www.projectliberty.org/news_events/events/webcast_real_world_identity_assurance_wells_fargo_demonstration_of_identity_assurance_principles_in_action Presenter: Jim Gross, Wells Fargo http://www.projectliberty.org/news_events/events/liberty_alliance_webcast_title_the_journey_from_concept_to_reality_identity_assurance_in_action http://www.projectliberty.org/news_events/events/liberty_alliance_workshop_secure_standard_web_services Learn more about Liberty Alliance's Web Services from local partners and vendors. 10:00-10:05 Introductions and welcome (Lasse Andresen) 10:05-10:20 SOA and Security - the high level drivers (Jonathan Scudder) 10:20-11:00 SAML2 refresher - a reminder of what SAML2 is and does (Victor Ake) 11:00-11:10 Break 11:10-12:00 Identity Management Model and User Centric Approach (Fulup Ar Foll) 12:00-12:45 Lunch 12:45-13:45 Introduction to the Liberty Alliance web service framework ID-WSF (Jonathan Scudder) 13:45-14:00 Break 14:00-15:00 Protecting web services in practice - coding against the ZXID API (Sampo Kellomäki) http://www.projectliberty.org/news_events/events/iiw_may_2008 Paul Madsen, NTT presentation on Inflation & Social Duplication http://www.projectliberty.org/news_events/events/panel_discussion_identity_assurance_establishing_common_levels_of_trust_at_gartner_s_identity_access_management_summit Federations inside the enterprise have been advancing globally, but growth outside the enterprise has struggled, requiring better definition of trust, business rules for governing that trust, and some means of certifying or accrediting levels of trust offered by organizations and federations. This panel will include several end deployers sharing individual case studies and experiences, discussing the Identity Assurance Framework, a program under development within the Liberty Alliance to define such a framework, and discuss the levels of assurance and resulting certification and accreditation program that will advance this concept into global commercial acceptance. http://www.projectliberty.org/news_events/events/global_authentication_liberty_alliance_identity_assurance_framework http://www.projectliberty.org/news_events/events/liberty_identity_assurance_framework_roundtable_discussion_at_catalyst_conference_north_america_2008 Learn from our panel about the Liberty Identity Assurance Framework Roundtable discussion at Catalyst Conference North America 2008. http://www.projectliberty.org/news_events/events/liberty_alliance_standards_workshop_at_the_2nd_european_identity_conference_munich_germany http://www.projectliberty.org/news_events/events/webcast_zero_day_threat http://www.projectliberty.org/news_events/events/webcast_identity_governance_framework_new_standards_to_protect_privacy_through_governing_policy http://www.projectliberty.org/news_events/events/webcast_liberty_alliance_privacy_summit_1_of_3_part_series In the past 18 months, the Liberty Public Policy Expert Group (PPEG) has run five Privacy Summit events world-wide, gathering privacy stakeholders from many different disciplines (IT, policy, regulation, legal, academic) for a peer-to-peer discussion of strategic issues and possible solutions. As the series unfolded, the group quickly found that a major stumbling block was the lack of a shared terminology and model for the basic concepts of identity data and privacy. It was too easy for useful discussions of 'second-order' topics such as trust and privacy to get mired in largely unnecessary confusion over basic concepts and terminology. As a result, simple models were created which illustrate the different 'layers' of identity data, their application in different 'sectors' (such as employment, healthcare, tax and so on), and the relative roles of credentials, attributes and indices. The models also illustrate concepts such as identity 'contexts', the establishment of contexts which span sectors, and some of the ways in which architecture, technology and policy need to interact in order for the system as a whole to function correctly. Through the Summits, some key lessons were learned, and we derived simple models which help remove many of the obstacles to a productive, multi-stakeholder discussion of privacy issues. These lessons and models will be explored on this webcast, along with trends to watch for in the future.
