IGF Theme(s) for workshop: Security, Openness and Privacy
Main theme question address by workshop: Questions 1,2 and 3
Concise description of the proposed workshop:
This workshop covers a number of aspects of online identity and the security and privacy implications of online identity. It addresses aspects of 3 of the main theme questions and follows on from the workshop presented at IGF 2011 and the subsequent publications of the Aspects of Identity yearbook and the presentations at the UK IGF, InfoSec 2012 and EEMA Identity Governance 2012.
The main aim is to solicit input and feedback on a number of outstanding questions related to the use of identity on the Internet, including:
- The commercialisation of identity and the use of identity information as currency.
- Identity theft and the misuse of online identity, covering aspects from registration of users to minimising the privacy impacts of registration.
- Now can identity governance be implemented and who would have control of what aspects
- The balance between privacy and national security, following on from the findings last year
The workshop last year proved very effective in providing an international context and deriving very useful answers to a number of key questions. This year the aim is to build on that work and try to address some of the areas that are now becoming critically important due to the use of identity online and the cyber security risks no posed by organised crime and other threats targetting internet commerce and government presence on the internet.
The format is a number of short presentations followed by a panel based question and answer session, giving member of the audience the chance to contribute and provide both answers to the questions posed but also allow the audience to raise further questions and help develop a way forward. This workshop along with the others in 2012 will form the basis of a 2012 yearbook available to all IGF members and a summary report for the IGF.
This year it would be nice to have this as a feeder workshop to the main Security, Openness and Privacy workshop.
