SafeNet sponsors HSPD-12 briefing and website
With 27 October deadline on horizon, company provides critical compliance information
D-Day: 27 October 2006. That is the deadline for government agencies to comply with HSPD-12, the presidential directive mandating deployment of a government-wide common and reliable identification verification system. SafeNet, a leading provider of smart cards and encryption technology and a founding member of the HSPD-12 Interoperability Consortium, leads the industry into this new era with two new initiatives announced this week: a 13 October executive briefing and a brand new website dedicated to providing government agencies and systems integrators with information on available solutions necessary for compliance.
Speaking at the Washington, D.C. briefing will be W. Curtis Barker, Program Director of PIV Office, Computer Security Resource Center, NIST; Kathy Dillaman, Associate Director, Federal Investigative Services Division, OPM; David Temoshok, Director, Identity Policy and Management, Office of Government-wide Policy, GSA; Joseph Bond, Department HSPD-12 Program Manager, Department of Veteran’s Affairs; Judith Spencer, Chair, Federal PKI Steering Committee, Office of Governmentwide Policy, GSA; Rebecca Moericke, HSPD-12 Project Manager, Precise Biometrics; and Gary Moore, Senior Architect, Entrust, CygnaCom.
