IAM Online April 13: Free the Attributes! | |
When did you last take a look at your attribute release policies? How can you meet the requirements of data stewards and the benefits of relaxed attribute release? What is on the horizon with scalable consent and how will that help? We’ll touch these and other questions in the next IAM Online, “Free the Attributes! Attribute Release, Scalable Consent, and User Convenience,” Wednesday, April 13, 2016, at 2 pm ET. Speakers include Rob Carter (Duke University), Ken Klingenstein (Internet2), and Keith Wessel (University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana), along with moderator Tom Barton (University of Chicago). www.incommon.org/iamonline | |
