The 2nd Annual Digital Identity Forum consisted of two days of thought provoking debate about the meaning and utilisation of Digital Identity now and in the future.

The Forum was used to share knowledge in the whole field of digital identity: not just the technical aspects of PKI and the like, but the business and social aspects as well. The speakers therefore included legal personnel, IT specialists, an economist, business people, a psychologist and others.

Feedback on the forum was very positive and the champagne round tables at the end of day 1 were seen as an excellent opportunity to pick the brains of that day's speakers on a more informal level.

The Forum was sponsored by Hitachi, with additional help from NCipher and our supporting publications: Net Profit and Finance on Windows.
