Identity Guru David Miller Introduces "Identity Custodian" Concept, Where
Only One Username and One Password Combo Will Securely Open Entire Internet
HALF MOON BAY, Calif., July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Compuware
Corporation (Nasdaq: CPWR), today announced that the Chief Security Officer
from its Covisint Corp. subsidiary articulated his vision for a
single-password society at FORTUNE Brainstorm: Tech conference. Miller
discussed his "identity custodian" approach to simplifying the management
of the large and growing number of username and password combinations that
burden virtually all aspects of online life and productivity.
Miller discussed how, in the future, an individual will need only one
username and one password to securely open the entire Internet. "Today, an
individual's identity is married to his or her data, which means an
ever-growing amount of username and password combinations," said Miller.
"In the future, one's actual identity will be divorced from the data and
have a life of its own that is prized by others. Most importantly, the
individual will hold total control as to who gets access and who is kept at
bay, making many of today's identity problems nonexistent."
FORTUNE Brainstorm Tech is an invitation-only event for approximately
300 of the world's leading business executives who recognize that their
company's future depends on understanding the trends at the core of
technology. The distinguished panel of experts in which Miller participated
was moderated by FORTUNE technology writer Jessi Hempel. Also participating
were Arthur Coviello, Jr., Executive Vice President of EMC and president of
its RSA division; Mike Capellas, Chairman and CEO of First Data; Chris
Kelly, Chief Privacy Officer and Head Of Global Public Policy for Facebook;
and Kevin Kelly, "Senior Maverick" from Wired magazine.
Miller went on to predict that there will be a few organizations,
called "identity custodians," that will handle and manage -- for a small,
ongoing fee -- all of the identity and access challenges consumers face
today. "Covisint has already solved this problem for entire communities of
business users. The next step is to bring this exciting technology to
consumers, which is closer than many think."
"Brainstorm: Tech is all about fresh, creative thinking regarding
technology that improves society. Covisint's Dave Miller is an identity
visionary who thinks creatively about how individuals interact with
technology, organizations and other people," said David Kirkpatrick, Senior
Editor, Internet and Technology for FORTUNE. "Miller has good ideas about
how identity management can improve lives and free people from the unwieldy
and confusing system in place today."
