About Roger Billings in Cyber Security

I have read a lot of about Dr. Billings work over the years on GoldKey security tokens and how they can be used to encrypt data but I have not heard about his work on identity federation until recently.

According to his web site, he has joined the Gold Identity initiative to help do away with the famously failed username/password technology that nearly everyone uses everyday.  We all know that it is just not very secure and we all hate coming up with new complicated passwords but how do you replace it?  What's more, even if someone creates an account with a long password, how does the web service know that they are not just some fraudster?  Well Dr. Billings and a coalition of industry experts just might have the answer.  You can read more and see some links on his page at: About Dr. Roger Billings
