More from Digital Identity World

Scott Mace has now posted his interview with IBM's David Goodman – who played a major role in the early days of X.500 when he masterminded the Paradise project. Crossing the Atlantic, he became the innovative identity force at Lotus, eventually leaving to join Metamerge – which was ultimately gobbled up by IBM so that David came full circle – he can't get enough of a good thing. I will contact him – he told me he was thinking about blogging too.

Scott also did an interview with me, and a number of speakers at Digitial ID World. Apparently the whole conference will be made available soon, so I'll keep you posted when I see the public version of this.

Identity Issues with Bluetooth

Our polycomm scenario includes use of Bluetooth. While doing my posting about the first law, it became obvious to me that we need to learn quite a bit about Bluetooth – it will soon be ubiquitous. I was lucky to find that Noel Anderson, who has thought a whole lot about these issues, works in my building.

I invited Noel into my office for a tutorial – which I recorded so others in this discussion can share what I learned. (Maybe I'll start podblogging – of course there are a few technical issues I need to master).

You'll find some of what Noel says really shocking – especially the prospect of a “personal bomb”.
