7th Symposium on Identity and Trust on the Internet (IDtrust 2008)

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

100 Bureau Drive
Gaithersburg, MD 20899


March 4-6, 2008
Sponsors:
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Internet2,
OASIS and the Federal PKI Policy Authority.
Audience:
Security researchers from academia and industry.
Format:
Symposium.
Purpose:

This workshop brings together academia, government, and industry to explore all aspects of identity and trust. Previously known as the PKI R&D Workshop (2002-2007), our new name reflects interest in a broader set of tools and the goal of an identity layer for the Internet. We aim to get practitioners in different sectors together to apply the lessons of real-world deployments to the latest research and ideas on the horizon. In addition to peer-reviewed papers, we facilitate discussions among panels of invited experts and workshop participants.

Topics:
We solicit technical papers and panel proposals from researchers, systems architects, vendor engineers, and users. Suggested topics include but are not limited to:

• Reports of real-world experience with the use and deployment of identity and trust applications for broad use on the Internet (where the population of users is diverse) and within enterprises who use the Internet (where the population of users may be more limited), how best to integrate such usage into legacy systems, and future research directions. Reports may include use cases, business case scenarios, requirements, best practices, implementation and interoperability reports, usage experience, etc.
• Identity management protocols (SAML, Liberty, CardSpace,
OpenID, and PKI-related protocols)
• Identity metasystems, frameworks, and systems (Shibboleth, Higgins, etc.)

• IUser-centric identity, delegation, reputation
• Identity and Web 2.0, ! secure mash-ups, social networking, trust fabric and mechanisms of “invited networks”
• Identity management of devices from RFID tags to cell phones; Host Identity Protocol (HIP)
• Federated approaches to trust
• Standards related to identity and trust, including X.509, SPKI/SDSI, PGP, S/MIME, XKMS, XACML, XRML, and XML signatures
• Intersection of policy-based systems, identity, and trust; identity and trust policy
• Attribute management, attribute-based access control
• Trust path building and certificate validation in open and closed environments
• Improved usability of identity and trust systems for users and administrators, including usability design for authorization and policy management, naming, signing, verification, encryption, use of multiple private keys, and selective disclosure
• Identity and privacy
• Levels of trust and assurance
• Trust infrastructure issues of scalability, performance, ado ption, discovery, and interoperability
• Use of PKI in emerging technologies (e.g., sensor networks)
• Application domain requirements: web services, grid technologies, document signatures, (including signature validity over time), data privacy, etc.
