Open Standards Forum 2008 – “Security Challenges for the Information Societyâ€
In today's Internet and in many large private network infrastructures, heterogeneity and diversity are the rule rather than the exception. Security infrastructures need open standards and interoperability to scale to the huge deployments that are being rolled out. Many security standards support a model where identity authentication, access control, digital signature processing, encryption and key management are provided as services that can be distributed and shared.
The 2008 Open Standards Forum is intended to give those who are evaluating or deploying security infrastructures an opportunity to explore the current and future state of security services, standards and products.
The three days event features a wide range of plenary sessions, keynotes and panels which cover, among others topics: Digital signatures, Security & Access Management, Working across borders; eIdentity, eID interoperability, Privacy & Trust, Federated Technologies etc. For more information, the preliminary schedule has been made available.
The Forum’s program is specifically directed to IT leaders and professionals, including:
- Security Project/Programme Managers;
- IT Architects;
- Lead Designers;
- Identity / access control specialists;
- Information Systems Security Professionals;
- Security Officers:
- Telecom, healthcare, government sector IT specialists.
