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.
In this session, we will introduce a framework to establish digital trust based on capabilities from fraud protection and Identity. This will quickly and transparently establish a trusted, frictionless digital relationship for your customers, employees, and business partners. The session will also highlight key scenarios of adoption, best practices and leveraging emerging topics like decentralized identity networks.

The future of IT security will depend on CISOs who are brave enough to build a new security model that is both innovative and unconventional. Gas distribution company, SGN, is blazing a trail that every company can follow. As a UK, critical infrastructure company SGN’s cloud-first strategy, provided an opportunity to redefine the security model with privileged access zero-touch and zero-trust as key principles. This thinking is enabling secure adoption of the cloud, IoT and frictionless user experience. The result is redefining traditional thinking.

Privileged accounts, credentials and secrets are everywhere— on premises, in the cloud, on endpoints, and across DevOps environments. From personally identifiable customer information to critical intellectual property, they provide access to your enterprise’s most valuable assets. And attackers are after them. Right now.

The real problem behind the recent Facebook scandal is not primarily that a company like Cambridge Analytica has "gained" access to the personal information of millions of Facebook users and misused them for political manipulation. It is the business model of social networks itself: Letting their users deal privacy for some kind of communication convenience, without letting them at any point opt for both: the convenience of using social network services to digitally interact with others as well as control over the usage of their personal information.
Will such business models survive? Is privacy a disclaimable option or is it a constituent element of our personality?
Around the world topics related to Digital Identity are becoming more and more critical. The world is beginning to recognize that Digital Identity lays the foundation needed for trust to perform myriad transactions in both the public and private sectors. Canada is moving rapidly toward the next Digital Identity Revolution. In this new model, capabilities from both the public and private sectors come together to deliver value to businesses, customers, citizens, and governments.
This Digital Economy focused model prioritizes privacy and security by design as well as convenience delivered through user-centred design. Solving for Digital Identity that secures Canada's participation in the Digital Economy requires the significant and sustained efforts of experts and influencers from every sector. To ensure that business, legal, and technical decisions makers across Canada are well informed, DIACC has taken a closer look at the economics of Digital Identity. In this presentation DIACC will share our findings with the world.
The focus of digital identity for consumers and enterprise is to remove silos, minimize redundant effort, enable better collaboration and provide a foundation for regulatory compliance. The challenge is that shared credentials for both commercial and public-sector organizations will require organizations to innovate to address requirements for physical access, protecting PII, delivering cross-agency services and re-thinking how digital consumers interact. In this session, we will discuss best practices across the industry that can be applied to enable interoperable credentials, we will explore architectural practices to manage identity assurance levels, and identity verification for both logical and physical access.
IAM products are highly configurable systems tailored to the diverse needs of customer environments and applications. Modern applications require short development cycles and IAM systems that can be adjusted at the same pace. Modern data centers are configuration-driven, resilient environments designed to meet rapidly changing application needs, and modern IAM solutions must be in line with this paradigm.
Introducing traditional IAM products into cloud containers is not a simple "lift and shift" operation, as it once was with the virtual machine infrastructure. Today's micro-service-enabled, service-mesh-oriented infrastructure expects simple, resilient, self-discovery services instead of brittle monoliths that rely on manual configuration.
Operating IAM products with a DevOps setting in terms of automation, repeatability, and continuous improvement is possible through close collaboration between IAM, application, and infrastructure experts.
In recent times, an increasing number of vendors announced a migration of their products towards microservices architectures. Some renovate their existing on premises IAM tools, others build new solutions with a new architectural approach. Factually, the idea isn’t that new, but the evolution in the field of microservices and containerization now enables flexible architectures that allow to distribute and scale components better than in the past. Furthermore, such architectures build the foundation for simplified hybrid cloud deployments, but also increased customization using APIs exposed by these microservices
