A. Pre-Conference Privacy and SecurityWorkshops
- Privacy Breaches
Increasingly we hear media stories about personal data that has been
lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised. Are you ready for a privacy
breach and do you know what to do when one occurs? This workshop will
detail the steps you need to take to address the breach and to minimize
negative consequences not only for your organization, but also for the
individuals whose information has been affected.
- Identity Management
Lessons in Identity Management: What We Wish We'd Known
Identity
theft, profiling, database security breaches... Is it any wonder that
citizens fear centralized identification and authentication systems and
have concerns about providing their identity information and conducting
transactions online? Privacy, transparency, and usability are just as
important as security in building a trusted online service.
This
workshop will explore current identity management challenges and
present a framework for developing a secure, user-centric, privacy
enhancing, and scalable identity management system that will enable
improved and appropriate information sharing and the delivery of
trusted e-services to citizens and businesses. Participants will be
introduced to different identity management models (both traditional
and user-centric models) and to concepts such as "authoritative party",
"relying party", "identity agent" and establishing "identity
assurance". These concepts will be reinforced through use cases, real
world examples and class discussion.
The workshop is
non-technical in content and geared towards participants with no to
intermediate knowledge of Identity Management and related concepts.
Presenters:
Charmaine Lowe,
Director, Information Architecture and Standards, Office of the CIO and
member of the Pan-Canadian Task Force on Identity Management and
Authentication and BCeID Working Group
Ian Bailey,
Director, Application Architecture and Standards, Office of the CIO and
member of the B.C. Broader Public Sector Identity Management Forum and
BCeID Working Group
- Information Security
Information Security: Online Sophistication
"Do You Know What Your Children Know?"
Many
adults have very little or no clue what today’s kids know and do on the
internet. Join us and 4-5 kids of various ages while they show us what
they typically do and where they go when they are online. The objective
is to show how comfortable they are with computers. After a bit of a
demonstration, we will engage in some dialogue with some of the older
ones, asking them what they think about protecting themselves (do they
worry about this?), what they think is acceptable behaviour, etc. We
will close with the moderator talking to the audience about what their
vision is on this topic.
