Presenters:

• Don Thibeau, Non-Executive Director, OpenID Foundation
• Donna Beatty, Co-Chair GAIN POC, Open ID Foundation

Session: “How to bring Mobile driving licenses to the web & apps” 1:30-3:00 pm PT open session (all welcome)

Presenters:

• Kristina Yasuda, Microsoft, Identity Standards Architect
• David Kelts, Get Group North America, Director of Product

Session Description: As governments start to issue digital versions of their driving licenses, national IDs and passports, we anticipate demand by relying parties to be able to accept them both in the real world (TSA checkpoints, bars, retailers, & beyond) and on the web and in apps too. How will this work? We welcome the community to join for a rich discussion to learn about the current landscape and established standards (e.g. ISO 18013-5 and Open ID Connect SIOP), and what we might expect from standards in development like ISO18013-7 and ISO 23220. Where is the line between standards and private company services providing OS services? How can the community facilitate scale adoption, to realize the ecosystem wide benefits more swiftly? We will also discuss the linkages between mobile driving licenses, verifiable credentials, and self sovereign identities, and where they converge and compete. For More Information:

Session: Introducing Shared Signals & Events: A standard to fight fraud in an interconnected, “API-first” world 5:00-5:45 pm PT open session (all welcome)

Presenters:

• Annabelle Backman, Amazon Web Services, Principal Security Engineer
• Tim Capalli, Microsoft, Digital Identity Standards Architect

Session Description: Join us to learn about how this new open standard fights fraud, securely and privately, through the sharing of security events, state changes, and other signals between related and/or dependent systems. With this standard you can:

• Manage access to resources and enforce access control restrictions across distributed services operating in a dynamic environment.
• Prevent malicious actors from leveraging compromises of accounts, devices, services, endpoints, or other principals or resources to gain unauthorized access to additional systems or resources.
• Enable users, administrators, and service providers to coordinate in order to detect and respond to incidents.
