The First IIW-Europe

The Internet Identity Workshop (IIW) is a working group of the Identity Commons and has been convened in California semi-annually since the fall of 2005. The 10th IIW was held this past May and had the largest attendance thus far. There have been many requests to have an IIW come to Europe, and now the emerging interfederation at the European scale is providing a timely basis to have one in London. This event immediately precedes RSA and has the theme of Identity Across Borders and Sectors. 

IIW’s focus is on “user-centric identity” or “user-driven identity” – addressing the technical and adoption challenge of how people can manage their own identity across the range of websites, services, companies and organizations with which they interact.  The focus of this first IIW-Europe will be on the whole range of global and European initiatives in this space. 

Unlike other identity conferences, IIW’s focus is on the use of identity management approaches based on open standards that are privacy protecting.  IIW is a unique blend of technology and policy discussions where everyone from a diverse range of projects doing the real-work of making this vision happen are able to gather to work intensively.  It is the best place to meet and participate with all the key people and projects such as:
  • Mydex
  • UK online identity
  • Stork
  • PV Net
  • German ID Card
  • Various national ID schemes
  • Various loyalty schemes
  • TRM Project
  • National e-Identity Programmes
  • European eID Interoperability Platform (STORK)
  • OpenID
  • IMI Information Cards
  • Personal Data Protection and the Digital Economy
  • NIH pilot adoption of Open Identity technologies
  • Certification of industry open identity credentials
  • Business models for higher LOA open identity credentials
  • Government, Commerce and Research and Education Identities
  • Re-engineering of multiple major services (health, benefits, pensions, tax)
The event has a unique format – the agenda is created live the day of the event. This allows for the discussion of key issues, projects and a lot of interactive opportunities with key industry leaders.
 
A book of proceedings is compiled after each event with the notes that are gathereed from the conference.  You can find the Book of Proceedings forIIW7, IIW8,  IIW9 & IIW10  here. These are your key to convincing your employer that this event will be valuable.  As attendees register we ask what topics they wish to discuss and the agenda will be set at the beging of the day in a facilitated interactive process.

  • What are the business cases for the adoption of Open Identity Technologies
