RSA on Feb 6 2007

So, here I am again at the RSA Conference. This morning started off with the key notes from Bill Gates, Craig Mundie, Art Coviello, Joe Tucci, John Thomson, etc. The theme was pretty consistent with what the industry is doing in terms of networks, data protection, identity management and consumer confidence. Microsoft made some annoucements around their collaboration with Open ID, while EMC announced the buy of an India-based DB encryption startup. The notions around moving from fortress security towards secure coding and passwords to smartcards were high notes. Do you think its time for a certificates/PKI to come back? I am sort of tired of hearing "this is the year of PKI" for the n'th time since I started in security/risk management!
