This session will begin with an outline of the common technical elements of privacy regulations. The speakers will provide a high level overview of the OASIS SAML and XACML standards to elucidate how they're used to secure sensitive data, such as government data and intellectual property. The group will describe how standards-based technologies are solving privacy issues through current use cases. The audience will hear about the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's objectives to improve consumer privacy. And finally, the speakers will outline potential future versions and/or profiles of SAML and XACML that may enable them to better serve new privacy concerns. Audience participation will be encouraged.
