The conference will explore how the interoperability of European electronic identity (e-ID) is evolving in practise and the implications for governments, businesses and the citizen today. It will focus on key subject areas, you will also gain valuable feedback and alternative opinions and solutions from your industry peers.
It will focus on key subject areas such as those listed below:
- Examples of how business are making use of external e-IDs such as National schemes
- Case studies of interoperability activities between enterprises (examples from the finance sector)
- Discovering the key legal, data protection and privacy implications of interoperating
- Technical issues and solutions (additionally the future use of RFID & NFC applications)
- Latest strategies for maximising the security of e-ID in an open environment
- Specific cross border interoperability challenges and their possible solutions
- Multi-channel utilisation – can this approach extend e-ID beyond current usage using non-conventional carriers and media?
- What Federation technologies and models are deploying now and which standards are dominating?
- Mobile solutions and applications
- Focus on EU initiatives such as STORK – PEPPOL – epSOS – Spocs – ELSA
Over 25 million smartcards for citizens are currently in use in Belgium, providing secure access and authentication for over 250 public and private services – from online income tax returns, to health services, to securing chat room use for teenagers.
e-Services interoperability solution across all European nations is crucial; however there are obstacles which include: relatively centralized and often proprietary architectures; fragmented responsibilities and difficult collaboration, nationally developed digital modernisation programs and a wide range of ID and exchange security methods.
The conference typically attracts 150 attendees from business, public sector and government from countries throughout Europe and also further a field. In 2009 participating organisations came from 17 countries, including 30% from Government/public sector, 20% from user organisations included Motorola, Total, KPMG, Siemens, Visa International, European Commission, Euroclear Bank and the UK HM Revenue and Customs.
We hope you will join in the debate on European e-ID implementations.
