Sorry once again for the late announcement.
Next Wednesday, 5/29, I will deliver a keynote at the LINE×Intertrust Security Summit. It will be held at the Tokyo International Forum.
The theme of this year’s LINE×Intertrust Security Summit is “Safeguarding the New Era of Digital Identity and Digital Trust.” Since I have been given the opportunity to deliver a keynote, I thought I would take a somewhat broader perspective. The title of my talk is:
The Eighth Continent: The Discovery of the Cyber Continent and Digital Identity
The 8th Continent: The discovery of Cyber Continent and Digital Identity
That is what I have chosen.1
I will also participate in a panel discussion in the afternoon.
Panel Session #1 (14:25-15:00)
“New Era of Digital Identity”
Moderator: Naohisa Ichihara / LINE Corporation
Natsuhiko Sakimura / Open ID Foundation
Arnar Birgisson / Google
Ken Mori / Yahoo Japan Corporation
Koichi Moriyama / NTT DOCOMO
The keynote begins rather early, at 9:20 a.m., but I hope you will join us.
For the detailed schedule and other information, please see:
LINE’s news release is available here:
You can find it at the link above.
I look forward to seeing you at the venue.
Slides from the Event (added 2019/6/13)
I think my slides are rather difficult to follow without the speech, but since there have been requests, I am posting them below.
