With so much debate about the role and importance of authentication in digital systems, it is important to remember the purpose of authenticated identity in our cyber interactions. Join us for a discussion of who benefits from known identity, what can go wrong when identity is obscured, and why ecosystems must include incentives for members to participate in identity authentication.

Root Causes 11: Authentication Is Not for the Authenticated

Digital certificate industry veterans Tim Callan and Jason Soroko explore the issues surrounding digital identity, PKI, and cryptographic connections in today's dynamic and evolving computing world. Best practices in digital certificates are continually under pressure from technology trends, new laws and regulations, cryptographic advances, and the evolution of our computing architectures to be more virtual, agile, ubiquitous, and cloud-based. Jason and Tim (and the occasional guest subject matter expert) will help you stay current on developments in this essential technology platform and to understand the whys and wherefores of popular Public Key Infrastructures.
