[SIG-IDtheft] CALL REMINDER: Friday, Sept. 28, 9:30am PDT--SPECIAL GUEST GILLES LISIMAQUE

[Britta Glade]

All--
As discussed on our last call, given interest from our group in
understanding global trends regarding the use of stronger authentication
techniques globally as a potential deterent to identity theft and fraud,
Kevin O'Neil was able to secure participation from Gilles Lisimaque on our
next call (copying Sreeram and Rob as they may want to invite some of the
SAEG members to attend as well).  Many of you know Gilles, but here's a bio
for those who aren't as familiar:


*Gilles M. Lisimaque*

Mr. Lisimaque is one of the leading US experts on Smart Cards and
application of Smart Cards, working on various US government projects as
technical advisor and smart card standard expert. Prior to joining IDTP Mr.
Lisimaque worked at Gemplus, a company he founded with four other
co-founders, and was part of the Business Development Group, responsible for
special projects in North America. In this position, he contributed to
various groups including prospects and customers, providing technical and
business guidance for the design and application of Gemplus smart cards,
hardware and systems, and customized services. Prior to joining the Gemplus
team, Mr. Lisimaque was technical marketing director in SGS-Thomson's
research and development group. He was the architect of the company's family
of smart card components and helped develop the first chip operating system
for smart cards. Additionally, he was MIS manager of the SGS-Thomson MOS
facility called Eurotechnique, a joint venture between Saint-Gobain and
National Semiconductor. There he developed an integration system connecting
HP mini-computers, IBM mainframes and DEC semi-conductor test equipment. Mr.
Lisimaque holds multiple patents on smart card security and smart card OS
design and has high level seats with numerous Smart Card and Security Forums
and Associations. Mr. Lisimaque is an honor graduate of the French
engineering school, "Arts & Métiers", where he specialized in automation and
electronics.

Questions we discussed, which we'll use to kick off our call are:

To what extent can smart cards aid in the reduction of identity theft?

What are the reasons for slow adoption in the U.S.?

What programs or industry efforts or events will trigger a more rapid
deployment?

What are the issues of mass adoption and deployment that linger?

Why have European states and other nations been more aggressive in
deployment and what have been the lessons learned?

How can you fail to succeed, where have smart card programs faltered?

What has been the traditional push-back by banks, telecoms, others in
resisting or failing to move forward with smart cards?

Future? Standards, key drivers, obstacles, legislation, public fears of
poorly conceived deployments?

Looking forward to our call and very much thank Gilles for joining us.  Dial
