OATH Education Institute Debuts at CTST 2008
WASHINGTON CROSSING, Pa. & ORLANDO, Fla.-(Business Wire)-May 2, 2008 - OATH, the Initiative for Open AuTHentication, today announced that the organization would hold the first ever OATH Education Institute in conjunction with the upcoming CTST 2008 Conference in Orlando, May 12, 2008. The OATH Education Institute will be held at the Orange County Convention Center from 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. EDT.
"We had considerable interest from vendors and end user organizations alike on how to use the OATH Reference Architecture to develop authentication and access control solutions that leverage industry standards," said Siddharth Bajaj, Chairman of the OATH Joint Coordinating Committee. "We felt the best way to provide the time and detail needed for these individuals was to hold a day long training session. Since many of the people we spoke to at the recent RSA Conference were coming to CTST, we decided this conference provided an ideal venue for our first Education Institute."
The OATH Education Institute will feature sessions run by members of the OATH Technical Committee who helped develop the Reference Architecture and various draft standards on authentication submitted to the IETF. The instructors include: Donald Malloy, director of business development for Innovative Card Technologies; Bajaj, Principal at Verisign; Shuh Chang, Senior Engineer, Verisign; and Mingliang Pei, Principal Architect, Verisign.
Subjects covered in the Education Institute include:
