GTISC Industry Leaders Series

4:30 pm - 6:00 pm, Tuesday, November, 13, 2007

Centergy Bldg, 5th floor, 75 5th Street, NW, Atlanta, GA 30308
"Next Gen Identity Management for Networks: Old Problems, New Challenges"
Anthony Rutowski, VP for Regulatory Affairs, VeriSign, Inc.
[Presentation] PowerPoint

This lecture describes a significant initiative of almost non-stop global activity over the past year that brought together a diverse array of people and communities to explore and map the uncharted new universe of Identity Management.  The "map" consists of four reports that attempt to structure a Next Generation Identity Management universe and chart a destiny through a set of requirements and framework(s).

The objective of this endeavor falls into the category of "grand challenge," but is an essential one for some reasonable level of cybersecurity as well as a broad ensemble of government, business, and consumser needs, including the holy grail of nomadicity - anytime, anywhere, using any device, by anyone.

This lecture also poses a potentially controversial implementation hypothesis that reaches back more than a hundred years to early open nomadic radio-based network infrastructures, and suggests that similar regulatory and global cooperative agreements serve as useful models.

What people are saying about the Industry Leaders Series...
I'm excited to see you creating these sorts of of events for people in industry to interact directly with the students, and I'm particularly impressed with the quality of the industry leaders that have agreed to be a part of it. I hope your students appreciate what a privilege it is to spend time with your honored guests in such an intimate environment. I'm very happy to support your efforts there, and look forward to continuing to participate (both individually, and with the rest of my company) in your future events. This is a great opportunity for the university and businesses to join together in creating a stronger economy for the entire community, while nurturing our most precious resources - the students who are our future leaders!
