CoreStreet President To Address Government Officials And Industry Executives At Electronic Passport Forum In Berlin

Speech to Urge Creation of an Identity Services Infrastructure for Security of Large-Scale Electronic ID Programs

Cambridge, MA (May 16, 2005)

Passports in the U.S. and in other countries around the world will soon become electronic thanks to small chips that will hold a traveler's identity information, visas and immunization records.

While much attention has focused on the chips that are to be embedded in these "epassports," governments and their private sector partners face many daunting challenges in designing and building secure, reliable systems of this scale.

In a speech in Berlin to government officials and industry executives from across Europe, CoreStreet President Phil Libin will urge the creation of a system to address many of these critical issues, including:

  • 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.

The Electronic Passport Forum takes place May 18 th and 19 th at the Hilton Berlin.

Phil Libin, president of CoreStreet, is a frequent speaker at industry events and is widely quoted in the press on identity, security, ISI, FIPS 201, HSPD 12 and many other national and international initiatives underway and planned. He also writes about these and other issues in his blog, Vastly Important Notes (www.vastlyimportant.com).
