CoreStreet President Addresses the Security of National Borders and Information Systems in Two Addresses to Private Industry and European Government Officials in Rome
November 1, 2005
Who: is an innovator and widely-recognized industry expert in the development of advanced systems that ensure the validity of identity credentials. As recent news events have shown, identity and security have become more relevant for individuals, companies and government agencies, all of which have been affected by identity thefts and security breaches.
What: A truly effective security infrastructure must be built to work even when communications are unreliable. This is true for emerging e-passports, which must be used at remote border crossings and busy borders, as well as for other enterprise-class identity schemes.
This week in Rome, Italy, Libin will address worldwide identity experts as well as Italian government officials about the need for a secure and reliable validation infrastructure. He will focus on such issues as:
- Scale - Supporting millions and later billions of transactions.
- Privacy - Ensuring that the information on individuals remains private and secure.
- Cost - Architecting a high-availability, trusted system without adding significant additional costs.
Libin has spoken nationally and internationally at technology and industry conferences ranging from the RSA Conference (San Francisco) and the ePassport Forum this spring in Berlin. Libin has been quoted in The Economist, The New York Times, CIO magazine and Security Director News, among others.
In 2001, Libin co-founded CoreStreet, whose technology is used by some of the most security-conscious government and private sector organizations worldwide in applications ranging from security badges and access cards to drivers’ licenses and ePassports. He and his team work closely with officials and agencies in the U.S. and around the world, as well as with private-sector organizations to develop and implement systems that protect all of the parties, through transactions and approvals, while at the same time ensuring privacy.
These systems have been deployed globally and are being evaluated in the United States at the federal and state levels in areas ranging from the new identity standard for federal employees (FIPS 201) to drivers’ license initiatives in several states, as well as the proposed new national standard contained in the REAL ID legislation.
Libin writes the widely-read blog VastlyImportantNotes.com, which covers security and society. CoreStreet has offices in Cambridge and Washington in the U.S., and in London, Moscow and Taipei.
