VIEWS FROM THE TOP |
|
It’s not every day we get to hear the views from the top of the organization – whether that’s a leading industry supplier, a government department or an end-user customer. This session brings together Chief Executives, Directors-General and Board Executives to share their views from the top of their respective organisations. Beyond valuable information, the session offers key insight into the challenges and opportunities that are driving the organisation, affecting the market or indeed shaping the future of our industry. The SDW 2016 Views from the Top panel offers a powerful and rare opportunity to hear, first hand, the leadership’s thinking by examining the wider strategic context and considering the longer-term view of the security, integrity and wide-scale use of government-issued identity documents.

13.50 | The weakest link: Secure document lifecycle vulnerabilities in focus |
14.00 |
Government issued identity documents are only as secure as the weakest link in the issuance chain. Of particular importance are the breeder documents, which are used to validate identity in the first place, and underpin the security of many gold standard documents, such as ePassports. Traditionally these types of breeder documents have been diverse in nature, too easy to manipulate or copy, and have become an avenue for fraud. To bring breeder documents into the 21st century, significant efforts are now being placed on improving the status quo. This session explores the latest thinking in this area from the participants of the European ORIGINS project. |
