The Future of IAM is FIAM
Patrick Curry began his career as a control systems design engineer automating factories. He then spent 25 years in the Army in a wide range of technical, planning and operational roles. In the last 10 years, he has focused extensively on international secure collaboration and the sharing of sensitive information across aerospace and defence. He began the Transatlantic Secure Collaboration Programme, comprising governments and major companies, from which he focused on identity management, including the formation of the CertiPath PKI Bridge, and export controls. He has worked with a number of governments, particularly the US, and European Commission, and has been involved in the UK NIS, working for IPS and a major supplier. As ID is out of political fashion in the UK, Patrick is leading a collaborative effort to build the British Business Federation Authority to oversee the development of ID for British business so that UK companies can meet emerging regulatory and contractual requirements for federated identity. He has been awarded the OBE for his international work, and received 3 industry awards (2 in UK and one in the USA). The Future of IAM is Federated ID and Access Management, but the issues are much more than technological. The rate of change in society is disturbing, partly due to the ubiquitous shift to electronic business in a risky cyberspace where data is easily ‘lost’, and the concepts of community, relationship and trust are changing accordingly. This presentation looks at the strategic and regulatory drivers for identity itself and IAM, levels of risk and assurance, the dominating initiatives that are creating the de facto way ahead, the contribution (or not) of enabling technologies and the governance regimes that are essential for federation to work across communities of trust. It concludes with a Darwinian view of the future and some recommendations on what needs to be done for federation to work in the real world.
