While the weather extremes continue to impact our members around the globe be it with searing heat and bush fires in Australia, unseasonal heat and peat fires in the north of England, or heavy dumps of snow in the US (even snow in Las Vegas and Hawaii!) the digital identity and personal data privacy domains stepped up a gear as the conference year gets into full swing.
February enabled Kantara's Assurance program to show the results of the weeks of intense activity in the Assurance Review Board with 2 major announcements. The first was Experian's CrossCore Platform service Approved Service approved under Kantara's “NIST 800-63 rev.3” Class of Approval, gaining the coveted Kantara Trust Mark for NIST 800-63 rev.3-conformant services. The second was Excelsior Security Solutions, that became an a Kantara Accredited Assessor in the last week of February following a recommendation by the Assurance Review Board and Kantara 's main Board of Director’s approval.
February 1st heralded the call for proposals officially open for Kantara Initiative Europe's 2019 European Union H2020 grant funded NGI_Trust project with other consortia members GEANT, Fraunhofer, Tecnalia, EFIS and EDN. The call closes April 30th and has received strong interest already with nearly two months remaining. Regardless of whether you are a European based individual, research institute, start-up or mature company that is building solutions for the Next Generation Internet, we need your help to make those solutions humancentric by developing them to be both scalable as well as privacy and trust enhancing. Our two other bids with a different mix of consortia are looking good! I hope to update you on our progress in due course.
