Biometrics, smart secure credentials
and the digital economy
to the fore at SDW 2015
The convergence of traditional identity documents and next-generation identity technologies, such as biometrics and smart secure credentials, is a major theme at this year's SDW conference. Future government-based identity schemes will see these technologies enhance passenger experiences at the border, enable cross-border transactions online, and facilitate the equitable disbursement of state resources.
Key sessions include:
- Security and facilitation combined: A holistic approach to traveler identification management;
- Challenges, opportunities and issues in the world of next-generation ePassports;
- Chip chat: A smart approach to future identity needs;
- Building trust in the digital economy: Identity is key;
- eID successes, opportunities and challenges;
- Effective border management - Outstanding issues, new ideas...
- Putting biometrics to work for government;
- Sustainable management solutions: Getting identity infrastructure right.
Leading government and industry experts line up to discuss these and other major issues. Speakers include:
