Christopher Spanton - Blockchain and the Business of Identity
May 15, 2018

Identity and Access Management (IAM) within an enterprise environment presents complex challenges for any business. While new technologies, such as blockchain, have the potential to help solve some of these challenges, today bringing blockchain into solution oriented discussions can merely add to that complexity. In this session we’ll explore the pillars of blockchain based identity, and how business can use blockchain as a keystone technology to simplify many of the traditional challenges of IAM.

Prof. Dr. Hans Ulrich Buhl - Unchaining Blockchain
May 15, 2018

Blockchain is much more than the technology behind its still most successful application – the Bitcoin. One of its key attributes is the immutable storage of information. Besides other applications, this enables trustful online business between two or more individuals – without the need of any intermediary. Thus, the Blockchain is said to introduce the “Internet of Trust” as successor of the “Internet of Information”. In various workshops with industry, we have identified how organizations cope with this possibly disruptive technology. While some try to identify threats to their existing business models, others seek opportunities for new business. Generalizing from the many ideas, we identified several design patterns for use cases that are expected to be successful within the next years. In my talk, I will shortly present an overview of the fundamental Blockchain principles, and the identified use case design patterns.

Ian Bailey - The OrgBook: Enabling the Digital Economy
May 17, 2018

British Columbia is a digital identity leader in Canada with the development of the BC Services Card and associated digital identity services. Building upon our experience in providing digital identity services for all British Columbians, the Province of BC is now collaborating with the Canadian Federal government and the Province of Ontario in establishing the Org Book for businesses. The Org Book provides verified digital claims about businesses and their representatives to enable streamlined government service delivery to businesses and to enable digital transactions in the broader economy. Imagine a new business owner incorporating their business, establishing business licenses and permits, and opening banks accounts in a seamless and secure manner using mobile and distributed identity blockchain technology.

Martin Kuppinger - The Future Model of Identity: Blockchain ID and the Digital Transformation
May 15, 2018

Distributed Ledger Technologies ("Blockchain") are the foundation for the most disruptive changes to business we are either already observing or that are on the road to becoming a reality. Based on these technologies, both new business models and fundamental changes to established models become possible – and what is technically feasible and economical beneficial will happen.

However, there is still one missing element for fully leveraging the Blockchain potential: Identity. Identity in that context is far more than just identification, authentication, or authorization. It is about linking people, transactions, and digital assets. It is about managing properties, rights, agreements, and contracts – linked to persistent, reliable identities. This is where Blockchain ID comes into play, because it is the only way to enable many of the business scenarios of tomorrow. There is still some way to go for Blockchain ID, starting from making it more than an ID for identification, authentication, or authorization.

Jeff Jonas - Do you Know What You Know About the Data Subject?
May 16, 2018

GDPR obligates organizations to provide data subjects with access to their personal data. To comply, companies must be able to answer a seemingly innocuous but frighteningly difficult question: What do we know about the data subject? Further, organizations must respond to Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) in a privacy-preserving, Privacy by Design-embedded manner. This is going to be problem as organizations are not going to be able to reliably find the data – as there are too many places look, data variability (Elizabeth vs. Liz) and other problems. In this keynote these identity challenges will be explored and remedies will be suggested.

Carmine Auletta - Identity & Digital Trust
May 15, 2018

Trust is essential for a society to function. It’s even more critical in a digital society where transactions take place between parties that can only rely on each other supplied digital Identity.

eIDAS Regulation provides – for the first time – a clear, universal and comprehensive Trust framework for the digital world. Thanks to eIdas, EU is today the country with the most advanced regulatory framework for Digital Trust but, the Regulation is not able to cope with the new challenges introduced by AI, IoT or Distributed Ledger Technologies. Software increasing pervasiveness in our society is creating new paradigms that will redefine the concept of Trust and the ways it can be enforced.

Jackson Shaw - Fire Safety and Cyber-Security – Smoke Detectors are Not Enough
May 15, 2018

It takes most businesses over 6 months to detect a breach on their network. And while smoke detectors are proven to halve the death rate by fire, saving thousands of lives each year, detection is sometimes too late to prevent many buildings from burning to the ground.

So imagine if it were possible to reduce the risk of a cyber-security fire starting in the first place. We are all familiar with the elements needed to start a fire: heat, oxygen and fuel. For data breaches, one key element of risk is abnormally high access entitlements. Detecting these abnormalities early, across your enterprise, enables you to remove them entirely from the equation. Couple this insight with sophisticated smoke detection equipment and you have an increased chance of limiting the damage wrought by any fire to your business.

In this keynote, we will talk about the importance of fire prevention in your enterprise and how, through the use of identity analytics and User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), you can install the perfect fire prevention and fire detection tools to get fire safety right.

Lukas Praml - Your Mobile Identity: Blockchain Ain't no Swiss Army Knife
May 15, 2018

Digital identity solutions are very wide spread and everybody is using them on a day to day basis. Mainly it can be distinguished between state issued IDs/eIDs which lack usability and are therefore not as successful as hoped and self-claimed or self-established eIDs (sometimes stored in the blockchain) where service providers have to rely on the honesty of the user. Additionally, self-claimed solutions mostly focus on the eID and don’t cover traditional ID documents. In this presentation, a mobile ID solution is presented that shows a combination of traditional printed ID documents and electronic identities (eID) into a multi-platform smartphone app that is recognized by the government. It’s an ID/eID scheme for transparent identification and authentication in the physical and digital world while security, privacy, data protection, usability and user trust are at equilibrium. Security is built upon secure processes rather than hardware (like secure elements), thus providing the fundament for broad adoption including technically challenged people. Scalable architecture, standard future-proven technologies like OpenID Connect, FIDO authentication and eIDAS compatibility build the framework for secure, failsafe and large deployments.
