IAM Online - Wednesday, January 12, 2011

A Panel Discussion About Persistent Identifiers for Education

A number of factors are coalescing around the need for a globally unique, persistent, non-reassigned, transparent identifier for each individual. Join our panel to hear about these factors during the next IAM Online.

Chief among these factors is the mobility of users across sectors and services and the rise of virtual and collaborative organizations. The movement towards state longitudinal data systems (that track academic progress of students from pre-school to postsecondary education) and the rollout of the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace are forcing us to rethink the role of identifiers and credentials for education and beyond.

There remain a number of difficult technical, policy, and process issues, especially when personal identity, trust, privacy, and accountability must be considered. This panel discussion will explore some of the current technology and policy challenges presented by unique identifiers and credentials, as well as opportunities for establishing standards and practices for the education community and what is required for a global Identity, Credential, Access Management (ICAM) approach.
