“Exploring
User-Centric Identity Management”
The
Second Workshop on Digital Identity Management will explore the relevance of
User Centric Identity Management as an organizing principle for digital
identity. It is designed to bring together practitioners, corporate researchers
and academics to explore the newly emerging “User Centric” technologies for
identity management.
Our society is facing challenges that lead us
to consider fundamental changes in managing identities, the global scale
deployment of stronger authentication and privacy protection beyond simple
password and patched-work solutions. User centric identity management is
currently viewed as a useful high-level organizing principle for designing
solutions to meet these challenges and is being actively pursued both in
industry and academia.
User centric identity shifts the focus from
domain-centric identity management to the users themselves, giving them greater
flexibility in how and where they store their identities, control over how
those identities are used and shared, and stronger assurances of good
privacy. Despite the acceptance of
the value of user-centric technologies, there is no universally recognized set
of criteria by which user-centrism can be measured. For some, the term means
identity hosted on the client, for others it means giving the user more options
as to where on the network they store their identity, etc.
The goal of the workshop is to lay the foundation and agenda for further
research and development in this area.
Under the broad umbrella of user-centric identity, we are soliciting papers
from researchers and practitioners on topics including, (but not limited to):
