A tutorial detailing the use of smart cards in identity management security will be featured at the RSA Conference 2010 on March 1 in San Francisco.

This tutorial looks at the fundamentals of identity management using smart-card technology. Participants will learn about converting their identity features into digital credentials, assigning privileges to that identity and methods for presenting those credentials in a secure legitimate manner. The tutorial will outline the best uses for smart card-based identity credentialing for both government and non-government applications.

This one day event will include presenters from Smart Card Alliance, UNISYS, Certipath, Northrop Group and SAIC.
