Abstract:

This bulletin is a companion to Campus IT Security: Governance, Strategy, Policy, and Enforcement, ECAR's 2006 bulletin (No. 17) by the same authors. Security technologies provide various types of protection to the campus, including technologies that secure the network, control access, encrypt data, facilitate backups, provide virus protection, and supply enterprise directory services. This research bulletin focuses on the emerging set of technologies that fall under the broad category of identify management. It is based on a literature review, campus interviews, and the firsthand experience of the authors.
