Open standards and interfaces as well as open source technologies play a central role in the current identity management landscape as well as in emerging future scenarios in the area of electronic identification and trustworthy end-to-end encryption for example. While there are already plenty of successful applications in which those techniques are used to safeguard the authenticity, integrity and confidentiality, there are still many closely related areas which demand further research. The aim of the ""Open Identity Summit 2015"" is to link practical experiences and requirements with academic innovations. Focus areas of this event are research and applications in the area of Identity Management, Trust Services, Open Source, end-to-end encryption and Cloud Computing.
