.Time for governments to grasp the ID nettle?
Hello and welcome to the third issue of The VAULT – Digital.
As an industry, we all know that the technology for secure electronic identification is ready. Did I say ‘ready’? I mean actually up and running in a number of applications. So why is end user take-up and acceptance so slow? What are the prime reasons why people are still wary of introducing such systems, and what can the Government do to ensure tangible benefits for the end user? Is it time for them to finally ‘grasp the nettle’ that is identification and roll out this theme to the mass population?
In this issue we talk to Guy Herbert, general secretary of the campaign group NO2ID to find out about their hesitancies relating to eID projects in terms of the alleged threat to public privacy and liberty (page 20). We hear the academic point of view from Edgar Whitley, research co-coordinator for the Identity Project at the London School of Economics, to find out his vision for implementing an effective eID solution (page 4), and we get thoughts from technology association Intellect, about identity management and service delivery on page 28. We also talk to Prof. Dr. Posch, CIO for Austria’s Federal Government, about Austria’s success with their eID project and the benefits they have achieved for the country’s citizens (page 14). In addition, we talk to the UK’s Minister for Crime reduction, Alan Campbell, about how the government and industry can work together to ensure safe and secure technology for all (page 40).
Also in this issue we take a look at the subject of ‘Cloud Computing’. We find out about some of the challenges faced with data storage and security as we talk with Google’s Director of Security for Google Apps, Eran Feigenbaum (page 34) and we get input from security experts Infineon Technologies about how some of these challenges can be overcome with trusted computing concepts (page 50).
As usual, we have our special Silicon Trust section, featuring views on card application management systems from Giesecke & Devrient on page 56; the need for smart card based applications by SCM Microsystems (page 78); innovation with Infineon Technologies (page 62); PKI solutions with charismathics (page 72) and a biometrics case study from precise Biometrics (page 84).
