A. Pre-Conference Privacy and SecurityWorkshops
  1. 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.
  2. 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

  3. 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.
