[OpenID] e-ID conference Brussels Belgium 16th and 17th of March

[Kick Willemse]

All,

 

On the 16th and 17th of March I will be in Brussels for the e-ID interop.
The conference is organized by eema.org and sponsored by SWIFT and BBS.
There will be some interesting speakers, as soon as I have the program
confirmed I will share it on the list.

 

The conference typically attracts 150 attendees from business, public sector
and government from countries throughout Europe and also further a field.
In 2009 participating organisations came from 17 countries, including 30%
from Government/public sector, 20% from user organisations included
Motorola, Total, KPMG, Siemens, Visa International, European Commission,
Euroclear Bank and the UK HM Revenue and Customs.

 

On the second day of the conference I will facilitate a roundtable session
to talk about the opportunities of OpenID, Open Identity in general within
the European e-ID Landscape. 

 

I think it is a good opportunity to discuss the way how OpenID is able to
contribute to the current e-id situation in different member states. Looking
at the weaknesses of current e-ID schemes (no use in business environments
because limitations of personal public service numbers, poor application
support, security levels in no proportion to business transactions, no daily
use, attribute sharing, no multi channel support (Mobile, CyberCafé etc..)
it is worthwhile to have an open discussion how OpenID could( or not) bridge
this.

 

If you have an interest in this topic, discussed/ experimented with
opportunities like this before or able to introduce a representative of an
OIDF corporate member promoting the philosophy of open identity, please let
me know.

 

Kick
