The Smart Card Alliance has been invited by the organizers of RSA Conference 2010 to deliver a special one-day tutorial for security professionals interested in overcoming identity management challenges presented by new and changing security regulations, compliance considerations, and data breach threats. This is the fifth consecutive year that the Smart Card Alliance has provided an educational workshop on the use of smart card technology for information security at the RSA Conference, the world's leading information security conferences and expositions.

 

The Alliance's three-part tutorial, "Smart Cards and Identity Management for Public and Private Enterprises" (TUT-M11), will be held Monday, March 1 from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.

 

 

The tutorial will discuss the ways to establish an identity, transform identity attributes into digital credentials, and assign privileges associated with that identity. Presenters will also explain methods for presenting the credentials in a secure, authenticated manner for physical and logical access, and explore real-life use cases for large-scale identity systems.

 

 

This year's RSA Conference will be held March 1 -5 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
