Session Details

Speaker(s)

• Peter S. Alterman, Deputy Associate Administrator, Office of Technology Strategy, U.S. General Services Administration
• William Barnett, Sr. Manager, Life Sciences, Indiana University
• Peter Siegel, Vice Provost & CIO, University of California, Davis

Abstract

As institutions of higher education move to safeguard IT assets and protect the community's privacy, they must not overlook the need to secure research data and ensure its integrity. Institutions have leveraged the institutional review board as a checks and balances for privacy and security; established federally compliant research data centers; deployed policies and technologies to address the risks inherent in data that resides on mobile devices; and leveraged identity management systems to accommodate visiting scientists, enable collaborations across institutions, and provide federated access to government agency resources. This session will describe identity management services that are part of e-government and will explore emerging information security and privacy challenges and solutions for research environments.

Identity management is moving ahead rapidly. Shibboleth and InCommon are making great strides. Representatives from the banking and credit card industries are sitting around the table with federal and state government agencies in the Electronic Identity Assurance Expert Group (EIAEG) within the Liberty Alliance.

The Identity Management working group will review these and other current activities of interest and chart a path for future action.
