MORNING
 Plenary - Opening Session: Smart Security, The new frontier
Jacques Seneca, Eurosmart Chairman - Dr. Walter Weigel, ETSI General Director and Alain Jarre, Deputy General Manager Oberthur Card Systems, will share their vision and perspectives on this challenging issue

 Panel debate
"CYBER-SECURITY EUROPE/USA:
MEET THE PATHFINDERS OF OUR FUTURE"
Panel debate

Introduction: Transatlantic bridge to global issue

Beyond today's organisations' firewalls and individuals' e-passports Cyber-security is and will be global, it is a pre-requisite for a healthy expansion of the Information society.

No doubt, cooperation at the R&D level between Europe and the USA is a natural step towards a common global approach in Cyber-security, based on the sharing of common roadmaps and visions, but also on the recognition and acceptance of distinctive cultural, social and ethical particularities or views.

Through this exciting panel you will meet with some of the most renowned researchers on both sides of the Atlantic and have the opportunity to discover and discuss how they envision our future.

Moderated by Jacques Bus, Head of the Security Research Unit at the European Commission's Information Society and Media DG, the debate will run along 4 strands:

The debate will run along 4 strands:

1. Protecting future large polymorphic networked infrastructures


From architecture and design, to scalability, context-awareness, and dynamic management policies, many themes affect the security of our future networked systems mixing various types of infrastructures and based on a service-centric computing model.

This first technology angle of the panel opens promising cooperation prospects, although perceptions, analysis and priorities may vary between partners.

Donald A. Purdy, President of DRA Enterprises and former acting Director of the National Cyber Security Division in the Department of Homeland Security (US), will present the US approach and research activities and elaborate on potential cooperation between the US and the EU.

Michel Riguidel
, Head of Computer Science and Networks Department (ENST. FR), will present and explain the European perception and objectives and how they compare with the US ones.

2. Cyber-crime, the dark scenario

This scenario offers provocative glimpses of a future that can (but need not) be realised. The scenario, elaborated in the SWAMI project led by the EC Joint Research Centre IPTS, is dark because it includes applications that go wrong or do not work as expected. It deals with such issues as privacy, security, identity, trust, loss of control … and it highlights risks and vulnerabilities such as surveillance, ID theft, malicious attacks, digital divide… It will be presented and discussed by one of its co-authors: David Wright of Trilateral Research & Consulting (UK).

3. "Smart Security" a holistic approach to cyber-security and trusted services


In a complex networked service-oriented world the old style security mechanisms do not work anymore. Going back to fundamentals of our society, we must ensure our democratic freedom and prosperity, whilst protecting our citizens against crime, terrorism and loss of privacy. For that, we have to move the thinking from a fragmented world that traces and tracks everything, to a new global approach that uses technology in a smart way, based on building trust mechanisms and services, transparent judiciary control, and efficient use of technology tools for discovering crime, enforcing law, and protecting civilians against crime and terrorism.

Our European and American speakers will cover in this matter complementary topics revealing thus differences of view points and opening the debate.

For Europe it will focus on "Cybersecurity at home": how Philips is approaching this AmI eco-system project. The speaker will be Willem Jonker, Head of the Division of Digital Life Style at Philips Research and professor at Univ. of Twente (NL).

For the USA, the topic will be "Cyber-security between society and individual demands and expectations". It will be covered by Pradeep K. Khosla, Dean and Head of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department (incl. CyLab) at Carnegie-Mellon University (US).

4. From vision to reality: paving the way through standardisation and interoperability

Standardisation and interoperability are the pre-requisites for building a global approach of future Cyber- security.

Charles Brookson, in charge of security both at ETSI and the GSM Association will explain what are the most efficient ways and processes to build global standardisation and interoperability of Cyber-Security and what will be its next steps.



AFTERNOON
 Stream 1:
Large scale eIDM projects best practices and lessons le arned at European & National levels: Local government solutions, eHealth, public transport

Moderated by: Dr Shaun Topham, Co-ordinator of EU IST Projects for Sheffield City Council, UK

The nation wide implementation of eID related projects is on its way. More then 25 million eID cards are now in circulation in Europe and there are many more to come. But eID is just an enabler for a broad variety of services that are in need of an identity that may be verified by strong authentication mechanisms. Both Pan-European as Member State Wide developments will be elaborated in this session. There is a lot to learn from sharing experiences. Some outstanding examples of active knowledge exchange will be demonstrated. You may want to learn about these experiences and use the results in your own day to day practice.

 Stream 2b:
Business Models & requirements for eID
Moderated by: Detlef Houdeau, ID Group EUROSMART

This session offers an in-depth analysis of why eID adoption is increasing in Europe and elsewhere. The large number of eID cards already in circulation seems to imply a clear underlying business case. It this mainly to combat ID fraud or is more at stake? What about interoperability and the business case for cross border and cross sector eIDM systems? What business models and requirements underlie and guide the actual deployment of eID mechanisms? What trade-offs are applicable between e.g. between trust and security versus end-user convenience and privacy requirements? How about the actual rate of return on investment? Do you also have more questions than answers?

MORNING
 Plenary - What is the best in class biometric solution for (remote) eServices access?
Moderated by World eID Chair Jan van Arkel, co-chair of the Porvoo eID in Government group.

Top specialists from the Biometrics field will share and discuss their vision on 'What is the best in class biometric modality for (remote) on-line eServices access? The format of this session includes open discussion and the opportunity to challenge opinions. Take advantage of this one time opportunity to ask fundamental questions. Now that automated facial recognition systems have been shown to achieve much better results than before, will the ICAO mandated facial recognition also be adopted in other domains? Do iris scan and fingerprint modalities offer better opportunities in the non-border control domain? Will biometric payment terminals be the decisive factor? Will the Telco's lead with their biometric operated mobile phones? Or, will Government biometric readers establish a de-facto monopoly for the home environment? And, what about the ethical dimension and aspects? Does biometric authentication inexorably lead us in a direction we really do not want our Society to go?

 Keynote address: Why biometrics promise to overturn most current political and ethical standards
Emilio Mordini, Professor of Bioethics University "La Sapienza" Rome, Director of the Centre of Science, Society & Citizenship, Coordinator of the BITE Project.

Panel discussion with Emilio Mordini, Max Snijder, Managing Director - European Biometric Forum, Claire Shufflebotham - Global Marketing Manager Security & Fraud Prevention - NCR Financial Solutions Group - Jonas Andersson, VP Business Development - Precise Biometrics
 Stream 3a:
eIDM supporting regional & national eID strategies

Moderated by: Jim Dray, Identity Management Program Manager - National Institute of Standards and Technology US

The ePassport is the most outstanding example of an electronic identity document that is nationally issued for adoption and use in an international context. Agreement on underlying international standardisation and the willingness of all countries to comply with these standards have made this possible. Will this success be replicated in other eID application areas in Europe, the US, China and Asian regions? The EU eID roadmap endorsed by the Council of EU Ministers was finalised in early 2007. What is next and what are the foreseen activities on the way to realisation? How does Industry position itself in relation to ePassport, electronic visas and the Permanent Residents eID card? And, how does all of this effect our privacy? Can we strike the right balance?

Best eID practices and systems solutions
Moderated by: Dr Gisela Meister, Head of Security & Evaluation CSOP43, Standardisation Manager / System Architect - Giesecke & Devrient

Best eID practices and systems solutions
Each and every eID system in place has its own credential setting, document issuance and management system. ICAO is not covering these issues and neither is the European Citizen Card standard. So here we need to look into the best practices and industry solutions. What are the strong points and where are the weakest links in the chain? This session will describe major solutions in this domain and also review the terminal and reading equipment necessary as there is no interoperable eID without looking into this.

Moderated by: Dirk Jan van den Heuvel, CEO - Collis

Testing for eID interoperability and security: the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
This session reveals the real story about Golden Readers and Silver bullets. The proof of the pudding is in the eating i.e. judge the effectiveness of interoperability and security by testing in actual practice. Follow the results of extensive evaluation, compatibility and interoperability testing. Learn about the problems encountered in ePassports and discover the importance of the triumvirate involved: reading infrastructure, identity documents, and RFID chips.

MORNING
 Stream 5:
Mid & long term vision on eID and next generation projects

Moderated by: Marc Lange, Secretary General - EHTEL

Almost all of the 27 EU Member States are issuing ePassports, and more then 80% have already some form of additional eID document in place. There are new integration and compatibility challenges ahead, whose timely resolution will need clear vision and dedicated focus in next generation projects. For example, Germany plans to contribute significantly to setting the scene for the next period, the next generation of automated ePassport control and electronic visa issuance looms, and the future of smart cards is in the melting pot. What is the vision of such next generation projects? How will it be achieved and how will it being received? Early indications are that the next generation eID projects are fraught with technical and logistic challenges. This session will air these issues and help you to understand what to expect from the smart card industry and from upcoming EC supported demonstration and trailblazer projects?

Meeting increasing security requirements is going to be a hallmark of the next period of eID deployment. Major players in the eID domain are already engaged in delivering new chips, new base materials, new form factors and embedding techniques, and above all else new architectural models. The unresolved questions abound. What will be the effects when ePassports move from being used for basic access control to extended access control? When will the necessary verification infrastructure be in place? This session will give you a glimpse into the veiled future and help you be better prepared for the upcoming challenges.
