Here we are a full month into 2010 and I’m just now finding the time to blog. I resolve that for the rest of the year I will not let so much time between posts. Of course, I can’t speak for John.
Things are in full swing at IDology for the new decade. Already, [...]

Sorry both John and I have been missing in action for a few weeks. But on the bright side, the lack of blog posts of late means this one is jammed packed full of relevant identity news!
I’ll start by highlighting a blog post on identity verification from our partner Oracle. Brian Mozinski does [...]
It’s official. As of today, we’ve announced our launch into the lead verification market. For quite some time we’ve been helping companies verify the identity of their online consumer leads (see our case study for DMS Research, a division of AOL and an online marketing survey panelist company), so really this is more just a [...]
One of the biggest misconceptions we are constantly addressing is the confusion between shared secret questions and dynamic knowledge based authentication questions. And this week’s IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy isn’t helping to clear up the confusion since Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University are showing that the secret questions used to secure the [...]
So I stumbled on some news from a European company called MyID.is and their Paypal approach to help consumers tie real world identities to their virtual world identities. While the concept is interesting, I somewhat question its ability to scale. Although it seems to be working in Europe, in our instant gratification world where we [...]
The news about Governor Palin’s Yahoo account being hacked presents an interesting use-case for a dynamic KBA solution and gives me the opportunity to clear up a big misunderstanding people have about what [IDology's] KBA really is.
First, let’s examine how the hacker accessed her email. According to this Wired article:
As detailed in the postings, [...]
One of the great things about CardSpace and the work the Information Card Foundation will be doing is developing how managed cards are going to work in commerce. A good use case is to show an age verified card for situations where you only need to show proof of age — thus limiting the [...]
I’m back from the RSA conference and how exhausting. Understandable considering there were 17,000 people at the show—all focused on the security industry.
In case you didn’t see it, we made an announcement during RSA about our partnership with Upek, a biometrics company based in the Bay area. What I find exciting about this partnership is [...]
What a month. I’ve been back from DIDW for (almost) three weeks and I still haven’t had a chance to blog about the show (or anything else for that matter).
Overall I thought the show was good. I was very pleased to see that there are a lot of smart people at smart companies [...]
Digital ID World (DIDW) is next week in San Francisco and I’m really anxious to attend since I was unable to get there last year (gasp!). Different from the RSA show which is focused on security (with identity being a subset), this conference is completely centered on everything identity – from Identity Management (IdM) [...]
