Our Services
We
believe that online consumer identity will be driven by "open" identity
initiatives such as OpenID and Information Cards, and that widespread
consumer adoption of these technologies will depend, in part, on the
ability of consumers to reuse these credentials at many different
types of online service providers. We also believe that
"stronger" forms of identity authentication (i.e.,
better than just a username and password) are needed to
prevent many types of fraudulent, identity-related transactions that
involve individual consumers. Many strong authentication
products
and
procedures are successfully being used to
authenticate
people in the enterprise who seek to access
the online resources of their employers. However, many of these
are
not perceived as being applicable for use by consumers
because large-scale deployments would be too costly, and
because it is often feared that stronger security measures would require
behavioral changes that many
consumers may
find burdensome or inconvenient.
Our goal is to help overcome these obstacles so that privacy-preserving, high assurance identity solutions for consumers can be realized. We can work with interested parties such as vendors, identity providers, service providers / relying parties, and industry consortia to help understand how open identity architectures, enabled by a trust framework and coupled with strong authentication technologies, can provide privacy-preserving, consumer-centric, high assurance identity services for a range of consumer applications.
We are also available for writing assignments, such as creation of white papers, requirements documents, and other types of written material, and can also help businesses plan for the implementation of written identity theft prevention programs, as required by the US government's Red Flag Rules.
