Ethics in Security Design - For Digital Identity
May 11, 2023

Digital Identity and Security solutions impact our environment, typically in a positive and securing manner. However research shows that increasingly digitization of identity services, for digital identity, also exclude and harm individuals.
In this presentation Henk will detail his research into the impact of digital identity solutions on nation state level and how to start involving ethics in the design and implementation of these solutions.
The findings also apply to designing and implementing security solutions for other purposes than digital identity.
The approach to engage with ethical conversations during design will be explained theoretically, linking to the background of Value Sensistive Design (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_sensitive_design) and made practical by case studies of Ethics in Security Design.
Henk has been researching the ethics of digital identity at Leiden University, NL, in 2022.

Architecting Identity-First Zero Trust Implementations
May 10, 2023

Zero Trust starts with Identity. It ends with authorization. And it is centered around policy-based controls for authentication, access, and more. IAM is ubiquitous in Zero Trust. Thus, every Zero Trust implementation must follow an identity-first approach.

In this session, we look at the intersection of IAM and Zero Trust, and provide a mapping of IAM capabilities to Zero Trust requirements. We also look at the need for modern IAM, from adaptive, passwordless authentication to continuous authentication, ITPR (Identity Threat Detection and Response), PBAM (Policy Based Access Management), but also Data Governance and the intersection of IAM and Code Security. This will help you in aligning your IAM and ZT strategies and give you a concrete understanding of technologies you will need (or not).

Challenges in Transitioning to the Next Generation Password-less Experience
May 10, 2023

Cash.App is the #1 financial app in the US. It started out with a password-less authentication paradigm back in 2013, built around OTP verifications. We are now transitioning to the next generation password-less experience built around passkey. While the transition offers many promises, the path comes with several challenges, around security guarantees, backward compatibility and seamless user experience. We share insights we learned along the journey.

Modern Authorization: The Next IAM Frontier
May 10, 2023

Identity and access have always been joined at the hip. In the age of LDAP, authenticated users were granted permissions based on group membership. But this mechanism hasn’t transferred into the federated identity landscape.

Instead, modern identity systems try to generalize permissions into scopes that are embedded into access tokens. But this doesn’t facilitate fine-grained authorization - a “read:document” scope doesn’t typically mean the user can access every document!

While identity has moved to the cloud, we still don’t have fine-grained, scalable mechanisms for generalizing authorization. So every application builds its own, and IT ends up administering every application differently.

Fixing this is arguably the most pressing challenge for the IAM industry. In this talk, we propose a set of principles, inspired by zero-trust and the latest work in cloud-native authorization, that should underlie the solutions we build:

  1. Support for fine-grained authorization (both ABAC and ReBAC), delivering on the principle of least privilege. Google’s Zanzibar provides an important blueprint.
  2. Managing authorization policy-as-code, enabling separation of duties and policy-based access management. Open Policy Agent is a good building block.
  3. Performing real-time access checks for continuous verification. This function should be downstream from authentication.
  4. Collecting fine-grained decision logs, providing the underpinning for comprehensive offline auditing and access analysis.

Interworking of Verifiable Credential Products
May 10, 2023

The EU funded Next Generation Internet (NGI) Atlantic project "Next Generation SSI Standards" and the Walmart funded Jobs for the Future (JFF) Plugfest, both have the same aim of fostering wide scale adoption of Verifiable Credentials. They are doing this by funding global interworking of Verifiable Credentials products from many different suppliers located in Europe, the USA and Asia. The NGI Atlantic project is committed to using the OpenID for Verifiable Credentials (OIDC4VCs) draft standard specifications, whilst JFF is allowing the 30+ participants to decide amongst themselves which protocols to use. Three protocol suites have been chosen: OIDC4VCs, VC-API with CHAPI, and DIDComm.

This presentation will provide an overview of the two projects, will provide an overview of the 3 protocol suites that have been chosen, and will present the results of the interworking trials.

The NGI Atlantic project will finish in December 2022, and besides interworking trials, will deliver an open source test suite that suppliers can use to test their implementations for conformance to the OIDC4VCs protocol suit for both credential issuing and verification. Some tests are being added to the W3C CCG Traceability test suite (written in POSTMAN) and some are being added to the Open ID Foundation's existing OpenID Connect conformance test suite (written in Java).

The JFF Plugfest will finish in 1Q2023. In November 2022 each VC Issuing software supplier must demonstrate the issuing of a verifiable credential to the wallets of at least two different wallet software providers, whilst each wallet software provider must obtain a verifiable credential from at least two other VC Issuing software providers. In February 2023 VC wallets must demonstrate the presentation of a Verifiable Presentation/Verifiable Credential to at least two different verification software suppliers, and each verifier must demonstrate that it is capable of accepting a VP/VC from at least two different wallets.

The success of these projects should catapult the acceptance of inter-workable verifiable credential products to the market.

Defining the Protocol for Internet-Scale Digital Trust
May 10, 2023

The Trust Over IP Foundation (ToIP) is focused on the centerpiece of the ToIP stack: the trust spanning protocol that will do for identity interchange what the Internet Protocol did for data interchange. This panel will explore how this will enable ubiquitous, trusted, interoperable identity exchange.

The internet was designed without a trusted identity layer to connect physical entities to the digital world. This layer is now emerging in the form of decentralized digital identity systems based on digital wallets and digital credentials. ToIP was founded by a pan-industry group of leading organizations with a mission to provide a robust, common set of standards forming a complete architecture for internet-scale digital trust. The ToIP Technical Architecture Specification V1 was completed earlier this year. Now ToIP is focusing on the keystone to ubiquitous identity, the ToIP Trust Spanning Protocol. This protocol will do for identity interchange what the Internet protocol did for data interchange.

This interactive panel, moderated by ToIP’s Executive Director, will explore the views of its member organizations for a lively and engaging debate on how we finally establish trust in the digital age. Come to this panel to understand the why, how, and when of this new protocol.

Urban Planning and Identity with Slime Mold or: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Learn from the Blob
May 10, 2023

In 1994, Italian physicist Cesare Marchetti discovered something: cities expand as a function of transportation speed. In short, “transportation is the lifeblood of a city.” Innovation in transportation has driven the expansion of cities—from small, walkable areas to the sprawling, car-based metropolises, presenting a challenge for urban planners.

Identity in the modern organization faces a similar challenge: if transportation is the lifeblood of cities, then identity is the lifeblood of organizations. And our organizations are not ancient, walkable Rome, but modern, sprawling Atlanta—with identities and resources widely strewn around the globe.

Like urban planners, we face a nearly-intractable challenge: how can we provide access to resources and data easily while still meeting the stringent demands of security and compliance?

Thankfully, there appears to be a solution for both urban planning *and* identity, albeit from an unexpected source: Ordinary slime mold. Aka, “The Blob.”

We’ll learn from this simple organism, describe how its simple actions create complex systems that solve these sorts of “unsolvable” problems, and see how the Blob might “think” about identity.

Cloud Signatures for the New eIDAS Wallet Ecosystem
May 11, 2023

To enhance interoperability between digital identity schemes and digital trust services across borders, the eIDAS regulation provides a legal framework for electronic signatures in the EU, defining how to use them to ensure their validity across Europe. eIDAS2 now includes plans for the creation of a European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDIW). Cloud signatures are expected to play a vital role across this new ecosystem by enabling natural and legal persons to electronically sign and seal documents and transactions with high-assurance remote digital signing certificates. Cloud signatures based on the Cloud Signature Consortium (CSC) Standard can help achieve cross-border interoperability via specifications and certification for the usage of Remote Electronic Signatures and Seals in this new pan-European digital identity ecosystem.

Join us to learn about the new CSC Standard general architectural framework in specific eIDAS context (Kim Nguyen, CSC Board Member, D-Trust) and for a technical deep-dive into the recently launched CSC Standard version 2.0 (Luigi Rizzo, Chair of the CSC Technical Committee, InfoCert).
