Security Advances In Identity Credentials, Mobile ID, Healthcare And More

The Government Conference highlights topics including updates on PIV credentials and NSTIC, developments in mobile identity programs, and evolving NIST standards.

The conference will include keynote presentations, speakers, panels, and roundtable discussions, allowing attendees to choose among multiple identifications, security technology, and policy track panels to create their own customised conference experience. Tracks include ID Security Technology & Applications; ID Security Implementation & Policy; Healthcare ID Security; and Biometrics.

The tracks will highlight expanded coverage of initiatives that will see major progress in the next year:

• FICAM Roadmap and Testing Programs: Identity management issues across government agencies have been well-documented by the Government Accountability Office, NSTIC, and the Office of Management and Budget, and outlined in the new cybersecurity initiative. The resulting roadmap for the framework for federal identity credentials and access management (FICAM) is being combined with testing and compatibility programs for data security, privacy, and the use of high-assurance authentication by government agencies. General Services Administration (GSA) officials will present how the government expects to meet these goals comprehensively across the federal enterprise.
• Healthcare ID and Biometric Technology: Following recent government efforts, the conference features an expanded agenda for the healthcare sector. Smart health identity cards provide a privacy-sensitive, secure solution with significant benefits to healthcare providers. Conference sessions will reflect and amplify the industry-leading work of the Smart Card Alliance Health and Human Services and Identity Councils. The conference also features an expanded look at biometric security solutions.
• Mobile Credentials Storage and Security Use Cases: The extension of existing identity credentials and developments for new credentialing programs for use with mobile devices are reshaping how security professionals view the marketplace. Conference sessions will provide insight into evolving mobile ecosystem and usage models for mobile security solutions.
