Is anyone in the DC area interested in forming a CISSP study group
beginning April 3rd? I'd like to meet in DC or southern maryland
about once/week to discuss one domain at each meeting. Please send a
message to this list or e-mail me privately.

Workshop on Biometrics and E-Authentication Over Open Networks
Dates: March 30-31, 2005
Place: National Institute of Standards and Technology,
Gaithersburg, MD
The objective of this two-day workshop is to determine how
biometrics can be
used for remote e-authentication over open networks by providing
equivalent
authentication assurance to conventional secret-based mechanisms
defined in
NIST Special Publication 800-63, "Electronic Authentication
Guideline" for
each of four authentication levels defined in Office of Management
and
Budget Memorandum (OMB M-04-04):
Through expert talks, panel discussions and breakout sessions, the
Workshop
will address these essential questions:
§ How can Federal agencies and other organizations use
biometrics to
authenticate
unsupervised remote claimants whose computers they do not
manage or
control?
§ How do we compare the authentication assurance provided
by
unsupervised biometric
methods to the conventional methods now defined in SP 800-
63?
§ In what way could biometrics be appropriately used for
these four
authentication levels?
§ What constraints/ protections need to be in place to use
biometrics in a secure solution?
Topics: User requirements, existing biometric solutions to meet
these
technical requirements, authentication threats and countermeasures,
biometrics and privacy, data integrity and confidentiality, end-to-
end
security mechanisms, security features of biometric
interfaces, "strengths"
and "weaknesses" common to other authentication methods; existing
or
required biometric standards, academic research efforts and
industry's
state-of-the art.
Sponsors: NIST; National Security Agency; Biometric Consortium; DoD
Biometrics Management Office; Department of Homeland Security;
General
Services Administration's Office of Governmentwide Policy; National
Institute of Justice; and the National Biometric Security Project.
