The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is hosting the IDtrust 2008 conference, March 4-6, 2008 at the NIST Gaithersburg campus.
The conference will feature the latest technical information on establishing trust on the Internet.
Establishing trust in Internet transactions is a mutual process between user and service provider.
In bank transactions, for example, customers want to be sure their browser is taking them to their bank and not to a fake web site.
For its part, the bank needs to verify that the logged-in user is their customer and not an impostor.
The conference covers a broad set of Internet-based identity and trust tools and explores the possibility of creating an "identity layer," a method of managing identity information that would be woven into the general Internet infrastructure.
Intended for government, academia and industry alike, the conference will include peer-reviewed papers and discussions among panels of invited experts.
Registration for the conference closes on Feb. 26, 2008. For more information, go to www.nist.gov/public_affairs/confpage/080304htm.htm.
