Single Sign-On Mechanisms and Federated Identity

Steve Carmody is the project lead for the Internet2's Shibboleth (http://www.internet2.edu/products-services/trust-identity/shibboleth/) and an IT Architect at Brown University. Steve will speak on single sign on mechanisms and the idea of federated identity. If you have ever chosen to use your Google account, Facebook account or Twitter account to log in to other services, you are familiar with the idea of federated identity. Come hear more about the projects on May 12.

We will also have Nat Kopcyk and April Lorenzen talking about their ongoing research. Research: Testing Strategies for Faster Cyber Security Notification
This is a 3 year research-only project. Focus of the project is speed up awareness of IOC/IOV (Indicators of Compromise or Vulnerability) in the supply chain to critical infrastructure. Companies that provide goods or services to critical infrastructure are often too small to join an ISAC and typically don't yet have a process for effectively handling IOC/IOV notifications.
