Stefan Brands presented on a panel on identity at Microsoft's MIX06 conference, Las Vegas, March 20-22, 2006.  The panel, titled "Today's Identity Crisis, and the Identity Metasystem", discussed Microsoft's vision for the Identity Metasystem, a framework for a new internet-level identity system proposed by Microsoft and industry partners, which addresses the challenges users face with online security, identity theft, and the complexity of managing multiple identities.  Dr. Brands' presentation, with an introduction from Microsoft's Kim Cameron, is available for download here.
