DIM 2011 - Workshop on Digital Identity Management (DIM)

This workshop will explore crucial issues concerning interoperable identity management technologies for the information society. With the growing spectrum of identity-enabled client devices - ranging from electronic ID cards, smartphones, TV sets, Tablets, PCs all the way to server backend and cloud services - identity management plays a critical role for the overall security, privacy and success of the emerging paradigms. Comprehensive solutions to digital identity management require addressing multiple challenges and striking the best balance between usability, security, and privacy. Existing solutions are not necessarily interoperable or complementary - and sometimes overlap. Moreover, they may not integrate well with the legacy systems that constitute majority of the state of the art. It is important to lay foundations for a holistic understanding of problem areas and establish guidelines, methodologies and tools to achieve interoperability between different solutions to foster healthy progressive adoption by industries and users. The goal of this workshop is to share the latest findings, identify key challenges, inspire debates, and foster collaboration between industries and academia towards interoperable identity service infrastructures.
