EDUCAUSE_POL07 and Identity Management

In this 55 minute podcast, we present a general session from the EDUCAUSE 2007 Policy Conference entitled, “Security Breaches and Identity Theft”. This is a panel discussion moderated by EDUCAUSE Government Relations Officer and Security Task Force Coordinator, Rodney Peterson. The discussion features:

The opening keynote speech at the 2007 Educause Policy Conference was delivered by Jim Harper, Director of Information Policy Studies at the Cato Institute. Through public policy debate, forums, and publications, the Cato Institute strives to broaden public access to government policy with particular emphasis on the role of limited government, individual liberty, and free markets. This speech, entitled "Identity Crisis: How Identification is Overused and Misunderstood", uses the REAL ID Act as a springboard for discussion about the need for competitive, responsive identification that protects individual privacy and civil liberties. This podcast has a runtime of approximately 40 minutes.
