THE AMORY SHOW OF DIGITAL IDENTITY
WHO CONTROLS AND PROTECTS THE DIGITAL ME?
A three day international conference will be held at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, Harvard Law School, Cambridge, MA., June 19th ÔÇô 21st , to explore the role of identity systems in furthering or inhibiting privacy, civil liberties and new forms of civic participation and commerce. The Berkman Center will host ÔÇ£mash-upÔÇØ events to provide working demonstrations of how open identity systems can secure identity and enable new forms of community building and commerce.
The Problem Addressed By The Conference
The Net was born without an ÔÇ£identity layerÔÇØ. Now, that will soon to be ÔÇ£fixedÔÇØ. A variety of parties ÔÇô governments ÔÇô technology companies, international agencies, non-profits, financial institutions, health organizations, and merchants are all clamoring for identity systems to address a spectrum of issues from terrorism, fraud, identity theft, phising, pharming, child pornography to spam and more effective ecommerce. The proposals vary dramatically from National ID cards with ÔÇ£two factor biometrics,ÔÇØ centralized data store and a single, universal identifier to highly distributed ÔÇ£user centricÔÇØ models with distributed data stores, inoperability and authenticated anonymity.
The stakes are also enormous. Incomplete or ill-conceived technological fixes will have adverse effects - on civil liberties privacy, commerce and national security. The issues are very complex; the details matter. And they cut across fiefdoms such as, policy making, software, business, national security and cryptography that historically have had great difficulty understanding one another.
Approach:
The first two days of the conference will be organized around four tracks. The final day will be ÔÇ£openÔÇØ and whereby the participants can ÔÇ£mash-upÔÇØ their own one day conference.
The first day will begin with thumbnail tutorials from experts in fields relevant to identity. The point is to get everyone familiar with some of the key terms, concepts, and issues. During the first day, the focus will be on plenary sessions that introduce the four tracks of the conference. On the second day these tracks will be examined in depth through smaller, concurrent sessions. During the afternoon of the second day, there will be a final plenary session with summations and audience participation.
The four tracks are:
Track A: Towards Open Identity and Security.
This track is concerned with understanding and teasing out issues of interoperability, user-centricity, privacy and security among identity system proposals, such as those from Microsoft, IBM, Liberty Alliance. Verisign, LID, Sxip, Novell, Ping, and others. Will there be an ÔÇ£open meta-systemÔÇØ or will there be cloaked proprietary systems and Balkanization? Whose interests will be really served?
Track B; The Interface of Law and Code: Privacy and Civil Liberties in Benign and Hostile Environments:
One of the major themes of this conference is the interface of law and technology. What kinds of privacy, security, and civil liberty issues do identity systems raise? Are there traditional legal remedies? Are law making and regulatory bodies up to the task? Do we need new legal frameworks for addressing rapidly evolving and complex technologies? How might and how should law become embodied in code? Is a new kind governance and legal regime possible in the digital world?
Track C: Wild and Walled Gardens: Trust, Reputation and Community Building.
Identity systems are a cornerstone for building trusted communities, not only for socializing and but for new kinds of commerce and collaboration. What are the underlying principles, the social physics, if you will that shape the formation and life of successful digital communities? This track draws upon the recent work of neuro-scientists, evolutionary biologists, sociologists, behavioral economists, and anthropologists to look at how identity, trust, reciprocity, and reputation are formed and shape communities. This track also looks at real world examples of digital communities such as Second Life and other online communities to see what makes them succeed or fail.
Track D: Disruptive Technologies and Business Models: Power Laws and Power Shifts: The End-User Revolution:
There is a power shift to the end-user, the citizen. There is also a growing symmetry between producer and consumer. Indeed, consumers are no longer passive recipients, they are becoming their own suppliers. With the advent of simple, free and open tools for creating content, comes the prospect for people to create their own communities, govern them by their own rules, and even set up their own digital businesses. The worlds of online games are bleeding into the mainstream of the Net, and from into the real worlds of governments, healthcare, commerce, charities, and civic society. Given the right levels of trust, people who have never known one another can ÔÇ£mash-upÔÇØ to create new experiences, musical and social events, and businesses. In the area of identity systems, hactivists are developing new technologies to protect anonymity and as such present a challenge to those in governments who deem it their duty and right to intercept or track any communication.
Disruptive technological changes are always resisted by incumbent interests. But what happens with the arrival of the next generation business model, the successors to eBay, Yahoo, or Google? Is there such model? What are the first signs and who is likely to be the first mover?
MASH-UP EVENTS:
Day 1 Evening: Boston Mainstreets and Music-Mash-Up Events: Sponsors ÔÇô Adina Juices, IBM, Best Buy, Omidyar Networks, Interra, Motorola, Jamaica Project
Day 2 Evening: The DNA of Identity: The Genographic Project; National Geographic and IBM.
Day 3: Open Day Mash-Up Conference
