Four industry leaders breakdown the importance of online credentials

There have been many discussions about digital identities and online credentials in 2011. The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) is picking up steam and organizations are seeking to further secure IT networks as threats from hacking increase.

But questions and uncertainty abound. What are digital identities and how do they work? Will one credential work with another? How will they impact privacy and help address regulatory compliance?

In light of these and other pressing questions, Re:ID editors asked some of the leaders in the space to share their thoughts and vision for online ID.

Participating in the roundtable are: Jeremy Grant, senior executive adviser and manager of the National Program Office for NSTIC; Mollie Shields-Uehling, president and CEO at SAFE-BioPharma; Judith Spencer, former co-chair of the Federal Identity, Credential, and Access Management Subcommittee at the U.S. General Services Administration and now CertiPath’s policy management authority chair; and Scott Rea, board member and director of operating authority at the Research and Education Bridge Certification Authority (REBCA). 

Consumers aren’t adopting mobile transactions as quickly as originally thought, in part due to security and fraud concerns, says Forbes. The mobile commerce market is in trouble unless consumers trust that mobile applications and devices are secure.

Today’s current password-based security processes are not cutting it, as most apps still require passwords for authentication, which is cumbersome to do on a mobile keypad. Users also tend to choose weak passwords that are easily stolen.

Exostar expanded its Managed Access Gateway identity management service offering to accept one-time password hardware tokens.

The gateway uses the Exostar-issued hardware tokens, as well as other forms of credentials such as basic level of assurance and medium level of assurance public-key infrastructure certificates and Common Access Cards, to control access to Exostar and other service provider applications connected to the Exostar Identity Hub.
