Join us for our 19 March 2024 Chapter meeting featuring:
Main Presentation: "Jumping the Identity S Curve: Achieving Privacy- Preserving Identity", by Dr. Tina P Srivastava
Abstract:
There has been a great deal of promising new companies, technologies, initiatives, working groups, and specifications for decentralized or cross-domain identity in recent years. However, the current state of digital identity is still very much stuck in a centralized model that relies on devices as the primary source of trust. This means that users have to store their identity data on their devices and use usernames and passwords to access different applications and services. While the security measure aims to reduce PII honey pots, it creates many challenges to achieving the goals of fast, secure and frictionless identity for everyone. Dr. Srivastava will discuss recent breakthroughs in applied cryptography and advancements in machine learning that are enabling alternative authentication technologies and approaches to traditional honeypot models. This has enterprises rethinking their approach to identity stores and what the future of authentication looks like in a world where consumer privacy is paramount.
