How to enable, How to use and How to Benefit
12:00 pm – 5:00 pm

This pre-conference workshop session is open to full conference, exhibit plus and exhibit only badgeholders and hosted by network access control, storage, applications and hardware experts from the Trusted Computing Group. The session will teach attendees skills related to enabling and managing trusted systems – those with Trusted Platform Modules – and their applications in the enterprise. The workshop will be divided into four areas and attendees can attend any or all of the sessions through the afternoon.  The sessions will include hands-on demonstrations to:

• Set up and manage Trusted Platform Modules, available in most enterprise PCs
• Client server management of trusted systems
• Set up authentication 
• Set up secure email and password management
• Set up a secure wireless network w/trusted devices
• Use network access control to ID who is on the network, protect against malware and ensure systems are in policy
• Protect data with widely available hardware and software tools 
• Manage keys

Lunch and keynote will be included in the session. Last year’s session filled fast so plan to arrive early to get a seat. Please RSVP your attendance when you register.

CONCORDIA PROJECT WORKSHOP

Interoperable Answers to Real-World Identity Deployments
9:00 am – 12:30 pm

Sponsored by:

The Concordia Project is a global initiative to drive interoperability across identity systems in use today. It does this by soliciting and defining real-world use cases and requirements for the usage of multiple identity protocols together in various deployment scenarios, and encouraging and facilitating the creation of interoperable solutions in the appropriate "homes" for those technologies. In this workshop, we'll review the Concordia Project and showcase some actual multi-system interoperability—demonstrating the ability to achieve interoperability against specific "high need" marketplace scenarios that deployers have articulated on the Concordia wiki. If you are a deployer who needs to understand how various identity specs and standards work together today—or you need assurance that they are—this workshop is for you! Please RSVP your attendance when you register.

LIBERTY ALLIANCE WORKSHOP

Identity Federation and Web Services: 
Happening Today – Enabling Tomorrow
1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Sponsored by:

Open, secure, standards-based methods are needed for implementing identity management solutions that maintain user privacy and strengthen the security of Internet transactions, while at the same time making it easier for end-users to utilize federation and web-based services. Come learn about the Liberty Alliance protocols, and see how CA, HP, Intel, NTT Corporation, Ping Identity and RSA, The Security Division of RSA,  are successfully utilizing these proven standards to implement state-of-the-art identity management solutions that strengthen security, increase privacy and offer end users and deploying organizations new levels of simplicity. We’ll explore the range of offerings available through the standards-based “plumbing” that Liberty Federation and Liberty Web Services protocols have put in place, with presentations ranging from customer case studies to cutting-edge proof of concept demonstrations showing how to securely manage the life-cycle of identities. Please RSVP your attendance when you register.

CERTIFICATION AND ACCREDITATION TRANSFORMATION OVERVIEW

2:00pm - 4:00pm

This briefing will address the Certification and Accreditation Transformation activities that are currently ongoing within the ODNI/CIO office that will eventually impact not only the Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense but eventually all National Security related systems within the federal government. The session will address the background and challenges involved with the C&A transformation, policy and governance issues, training and transition as well as a status on the overall C&A transformation effort. Security professionals currently supporting C&A related efforts involving National Security related systems are encouraged to attend. Please RSVP your attendance when you register.
