Outputs

This meeting was attended by:

Martin Roe (Security Forum guest, independent consultant, ICX)
Jeremy Hilton (Viviale, ALPI)
Jane Hill (Viviale, ALPI)
Ian Lloyd (ALPI, The Open Group)
Bob Blakely (Security Forum, IBM/Tivoli)

The first session of the day was an update on the Intrusion attack scenario planned for presentation at the February Open Group conference.  The scenario will be led by Bob Blakely and Jane Hill.  Bob will lead the intrusion attack and Jane will lead the company response - a second part presented at least a half day after the attack scenario.  The general plan was presented and agreed by the participants.  There will be 5 sessions of 15 minutes each plus time for questions and answers in each of the two acts.  Actors have been chosen and briefed on their role. All parts have been allocated.

The script will be finalised by the end of October and reviewed by all actors through November and December.  There will be a full rehearsal on the Sunday before the conference.

The rest of the day was spent discussing the current project work and trying to define the scope of a fourth ALPINE priject that would be researched by The Open Group. 

The candidate project was to define the meaning of roles and identity and to try and define a minimum set of data that a business required.  This proved to be a vigorous discussion and led down a number of tracks.  To summarise the discussion, the main stumbling block was the simple fact that if you define a minimum set of data, you may inadvertently define the set of data required for a national identity.  Naturally the concept of a national identity is contrary to some people's views and acceptable to others.  The resultant description of the project was to try and scope what information is really needed by a business when making a trust decision.  Can that data set be anonymised  sufficiently and yet still be useful?  This will be documented into a full terms of reference and circulated to the ALPINE and Active Loss Prevention participants over the next two weeks.

Next Steps

Using e-mail and teleconference, the ALPINE team will select and agree the projects.

Draft terms of reference will be prepared by the end of October for prospective projects.
