On Tuesday morning I will be speaking at Inside ID in Washington, D.C. They are calling this conference a "Mega Show" because there will be dedicated sections of the exhibit hall branded to reflect the major tools used in modern identification solutions. These "shows within the show" include: Inside Identity Management, Inside Digital Identity, Inside Card Technology, Inside Biometrics, and Inside Document Security. I am extremely interested in the content of the show and will be reporting more on it later. My talk will be called "The Future Of The Internet: A Distributed Web of Trust". The talk will be based on my views as expressed in a story in Network World where I wrote an 850 word summary, called "The Ultimate Internet".
