  1. Higher Education Bridge CA (HEBCA) – Planting is required before the harvest(Scott Rea)Fed/Ed June 2007

  2. Plowing the field • Why is HEBCA still only in test mode of operation? • Demand is not there yet from multiple schools (NOTE: Texas is an exception in this regards) • Anecdotally there is higher interest in PKI from schools than ever before but this interest is mostly focused on introspective projects rather than those that require cross-boundary authentication – some caveats do exist • An exception to the above is the Federal government as the external campus entity – there is a lot of interest in what the feds are doing and what that means for campuses • By the feds own admission – 75% of their applications that are the focus of the eAuthentication “federation” are assertion based – there are not many higher level applications out there

  3. Planting seeds • What are the drivers being manifest • Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the US, higher education is the primary target (43% of reported incidents occurred in our sector) • Stronger binding and stronger technologies for IDM, better access controls, and security services are being investigated • There are lots of small internal PKI pilots quietly going about their business – looking to grow organically • Federation is required for bridging PKI – but the main thrust (in terms of advertising and focus) for federations has been in the assertion based arena – notably shibboleth – this both a catalyst and a crutch
