Welcome to the Kantara “IoT and Harmonization Workshop” in Mountain View, California
In a world of increasing network connectivity that interacts with more and more active and passive sensors, data is generated, managed, and consumed in mass. Industry experts will discuss findings regarding standardization of the IoT space and where possible gaps exist. Focus will include review of use cases and demos as well as implications of identity and personal identifiable information with in the IoT space.
There are many initiatives in the IoT space and knowing where to go can be a challenge. Our goal for this event is to connect broad IoT experts with Identity & IoT experts. Kantara Initiative’s Identities of Things (IDoT) group is leading the way for the intersection of IoT and Identity. With this opportunity we will connect IEEE communities with Identity communities through our Kantara workshop. We are proud to partner with the IEEE-SA as one of the leaders in standardization of IoT. If you’re already attending the IEEE-SA event consider this your warm up.
Space for the Kantara IoT Harmonization workshop is limited

Why attend:
- Discuss what your organization, business, government needs to know.
- Collaborate to make sense of the confusing IoT space, with specific regard to identity implications.
Who should attend:
- Technologists, engineers, decision makers, information officers, privacy officers, researchers
September 17 Workshop: This event will begin at 13:00pm and conclude at 17:00pm. This will be an information and interactive discussion to kick-off the IEEE Standards Association 2-day Internet of Things (IoT) Workshop with the goal to begin connecting the Identity IoT communities with the IEEE IoT community.

Abstract: Giving Identity to the IoT
The Internet of Things comes with a plethora of new opportunities and use cases along with an unthinkable number of new devices. Traditional user identity management approaches won’t scale anymore. It needs new ways of identification, discovery and authentication. Furthermore we are confronted with many new security and privacy challenges. The Identity of Things discussion group of Kantara Initiave will introduce their latest results and approaches.
Abstract: Identity Management in the IoT
The number of connected devices is growing exponentially and as more and more devices become Internet-enabled, identity is emerging as a connective tissue. This movement has a profound impact on businesses, as employees and customers’ access services from a variety of devices and locations. Today, some of the closest relationships are between consumers and their mobile devices; by our sides at all time along with treasure troves of personal information. As users’ online presence evolves and cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, the need to secure our digital identities has never been greater.
To protect against fraud and identity theft, banks, governments and other high-value online services are looking beyond the password. With the advent of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), smart phones and smart cards now offer device-based authentication—eliminating the need to memorize multiple credentials and providing the security needed to protect users’ sensitive information.
This session will examine how the Internet of Things (IoT) is putting identity security center stage and will discuss why the best methods to provide the security and scalability to meet the breadth of the IoT may lie within the devices we already own.
