FIDIS (Future of IDentity in
the Information Society) is a Network of Excellence
composed of 24 partners across EU25+ countries. The
objective of this workshop is to provide some findings
of FIDIS research on the core topic "identity".
The future of identity is a key element for the emerging
Information Society; it represents the main vehicle
of the cyber-citizen in this new digital environment.
This workshop will present some results related to
identity management in the areas of electronic documents,
eGovernment and authentication, and will mainly address
privacy, security and trust issues in order to discuss
the possibilities of different technologies.
• Security and Data Protection aspects of
Machine Readable Travel Documents (MRTDs)
Martin Meints,
ICPP, Germany
Machine Readable Travel Documents (MRTD) and related
border control systems currently are part of the largest
implementation of an identification infrastructure
using RFID and biometrics. In this talk selected security
and data protection aspects of the current passport
as the European implementation of MRTDs will be presented
and analysed.
• Legal aspects of identity management in
eGovernment
Xavier Huysmans,
KU Leuven - ICRI, Belgium
Xavier will give an introductory talk on the conceptual
framework for privacy friendly Identity Management
in eGovernment (FIDIS D16.1). In this presentation,
besides explaining basic terminology, Xavier focuses
on legal issues such as data protection, privacy,
Signatures and eIDs in eGovernment. In his presentation
at Smart University (17th September 2007), Xavier
presents a more complete insight on the FIDIS research
on eGovernment.
• Coffee break
• Identity verification and transaction authentication
Lorenz Müller,
University of Applied Science Berne, Dept. HTI, Switzerland
Identity theft and internet crimes in general are
an important obstacle in the further development of
the e-society. Today's crime prevention solutions
often reduce availability of the service or the mobility
and privacy of the authorised users. In this lecture
new concepts for identity verification and transaction
authentication are presented that overcome the drawbacks
of actual security solutions. A secure authentication
system that implements these concepts will be presented.
