FTC To Host Identity Authentication Workshop

Agency Seeks Development of Tools to Thwart Identity Theft

On April 23 and 24, 2007, the Federal Trade Commission will host a
public workshop, "Proof Positive: New Directions in ID Authentication,"
to explore methods to reduce identity theft through enhanced
authentication. The workshop will facilitate a discussion among public-
sector, private-sector, and consumer representatives, and will focus on
technological and policy requirements for developing better
authentication processes, including the incorporation of privacy
standards and consideration of consumer usability issues.
