Market-Focused Coverage of Current Strategies for Secure Identity

The leading annual event for ID security returns to the Washington Convention Center with comprehensive coverage of efforts toward strong authentication technology in government identity programs, including Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials, developments in National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC), trusted ID on the Internet and on mobile devices, developments in state and local ID, and evolving global standards.

Special Focus: National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC)

NSTIC is a public/private effort to develop an identity ecosystem that will permit individuals to obtain a secure credential to authenticate themselves for a variety of online transactions. The Smart Card Alliance provided extensive strategic guidance during recent efforts to ramp up this program. Conference sessions and special events will provide an invaluable update on this game-changing initiative.

Special Focus: Healthcare ID and Secure Electronic Medical Records

Following recent government efforts, the conference features an expanded agenda for the healthcare sector. Smart health ID cards provide a privacy-sensitive, secure solution with significant benefits to healthcare providers. Conference sessions will reflect and amplify the industry- leading work of the Smart Card Alliance Healthcare and Identity Councils.
