			<title><![CDATA[Talking to Customers about Identity]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[We recently gathered with representatives from eight of our top customers across government and commercial organizations to spend the day discussing the direction of identity assurance in currently developing federal standards and in practice at their various agencies and companies. One specific issue highlighted was the establishment of trust between the credentialing provider and the relying party in a federated identity framework. - <a href="http://www.anakam.com/News/Blog/All/43/customer-insights/" target="_blank">View Full Article</a>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Identifying the organization, not just the people – Entity ID]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Tracking who has access to organizational networks, systems and data—and being able to prove this in a way that is difficult or impossible to repudiate—is an important component of operating a secure computing environment. For many business processes you need to know not just the individual person, but that the organization you are doing business with is the correct legal entity. - <a href="http://www.anakam.com/News/Blog/All/41/Entity-Identification/" target="_blank">View Full Article</a>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Voice: Authentication You Can’t Lose ]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Biometric two factor authentication, the “something you are”, cannot be shared, lost, or stolen in the same way “something you have” can be. Voice biometrics technology has an advantage over other forms of biometrics such as fingerprints or eye scans, because there is no need for expensive specialized hardware or equipment. Users instinctively know how to use the system and are usually much more comfortable with voice biometrics than other technique. - <a href="http://www.anakam.com/News/Blog/All/37/Voice-Biometrics/" target="_blank">View Full Article</a>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Federal Standards for the Identity Ecosystem]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[A month ago, the federal government issued its long awaited National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC). The basic idea of the NSTIC is a federated identity framework founded on strong proofing of the electronic identities to ensure the trustworthiness of claims behind them. We have been following the development of NSTIC since the idea was first announced. In fact, Equifax executives participate in many of the standards groups whose work is foundational to the successful execution of NSTIC. - <a href="http://www.anakam.com/News/Blog/All/36/NSTIC-/" target="_blank">View Full Article</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Proving an identity in a situation where a person potentially cannot look in their wallet for driver’s license numbers or other previously issued IDs means that government agencies and businesses need to rely on other methods of identification.

			<title><![CDATA[Password Policies and Identity Security]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[In spite of security concerns, many users still choose passwords that are easy to guess, write down their passwords and share them with others. They also re-use their passwords on multiple sites, and sometimes use the same passwords on sites that do not house sensitive or personal information, like content sites, and ones that do, like financial services sites.  This type of password usage makes the users' identities much more vulnerable to theft and fraud. - <a href="http://www.anakam.com/News/Blog/Policy/27/Password-policies/" target="_blank">View Full Article</a>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[The Fine Print Isn't Enough]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Installing automated strong authentication linked to potentially risky transactions, like password reset, helps mitigate security risks. Businesses and individuals expect their sensitive information and financial interests to be protected, no matter what the contractual small print says. The Baidu case and others like it tell us that the courts also agree, but good business practices shouldn't wait on the courts for a reading on the minimal effort required.  Best practice tells us that protecting your customer's personal information and your own corporate data is the smart thing to do. - <a href="http://www.anakam.com/News/Blog/Policy/26//" target="_blank">View Full Article</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Organizations remain accountable for data protection whether their data resides behind corporate firewalls or in the cloud, and regardless of the method by which the data is accessed.  Analyzing potential attack vectors related to remote access, identifying vulnerabilities, and implementing solutions to minimize risk of compromise is an essential part of securing systems and networks.  The threats and potential vulnerabilities involving credentials used to access corporate networks and view or transact business with corporate data need to be addressed along with more traditional defense assessments. - <a href="http://www.anakam.com/News/Blog/Policy/25/Vulnerability-Assessment/" target="_blank">View Full Article</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[A lock is easily opened when the owner gives the key to somebody else. This is true for gaining access to online accounts with passwords as well as second factor authentication tokens and smart cards. The act of token fraud may increase the likelihood of identity fraud, but it is fundamentally different from identity fraud, and different means of risk mitigation are needed to counter the fraud if it is a concern for the enterprise.
