In my earlier article today I pointed out a rather significant security blunder in Germany, where a number of municipal IT departments failed to secure their systems. This lead to exposure of at least 500,000 personal data records to the internet - so far I have not heard that any affected person was informed about their involuntary expose to identity thieves. In this context it seems a little untimely to publicly announce a new electronic signature program that will start in 2012.Under this program, Read More...

While Germany and Europe in general have some of the strictest rules regarding the use and storage of personally identifiable information, the last few months have seen rather extreme data security breaches. Today, the German media is reporting about a new installment of irresponsible negligence government incompetence: According to the SPIEGEL ONLINE a spokesperson for the software company HSH admitted that the personal information of more than 500,000 residents of at least 15 cities and towns were Read More...

Just back from Orlando, here are some takeaways from this year's TechEd 2008 for IT-pros: Interoperability with SOAP based web services is progressing: I was part of a panel on interoperability, moderated by Chris Haddad. It was a fairly diverse panel, with speakers from Microsoft, WSO2, Tibco, and Sun. While there was general agreement on the usefulness of the more basic WS-* specifications like WS-Security, opinions differed on where the future lies and how it can be achieved. In my opinion, the Read More...

Today I re-viewed the Craig Mundie keynote from the RSA 2008 conference. Many things were said that I liked: Recently, a few weeks ago, we announced that we had acquired Credentica, and their U-Prove technology, which we think is going to be an example of a way to realize this requirement where we can tease apart some of the individual claims around identity or elements of identity and present them individually, and therefore be able to prove certain pieces of information without disclosing too much.

I've joined the US's Registered Traveler Program . Clear (a subsidiary of Verified Identity Pass Inc.) operates the local facility here at Dulles, so I joined their network. In exchange for submitting to (and paying for) a background investigation and biometric authentication (fingerprint in my case, though they also had iris scanners there it wouldn't work on me) you get to have a very short security line -- though you still go through the same "take-off-your-shoes" security process. They seem to Read More...
