Operational framework for Enhancing Trust in Identity Management as-a-Service (IdMaaS). 2021 3rd International Multidisciplinary Information Technology and Engineering Conference (IMITEC). :1–6.
.
2021. The promise of access to contextual expertise, advanced security tools and an increase in staff augmentation coupled with reduced computing costs has indisputably made cloud computing a computing platform of choice, so enticing that many organizations had to migrate some if not all their services to the cloud. Identity-management-as-a-service (IdMaaS), however, is still struggling to mature due to lack of trust. Lack of trust arises from losing control over the identity information (user credentials), identity management system as well as the underlying infrastructure, raising a fear of loss of confidentiality, integrity and availability of both the identities and the identity management system. This paper recognizes the need for a trust framework comprising of both the operational and technical Frameworks as a holistic approach towards enhancing trust in IdMaaS. To this end however, only the operational Framework will form the core of this paper. The success of IdMaaS will add to the suite of other matured identity management technologies, spoiling the would-be identity service consumers with a wide choice of identity management paradigms to pick from, at the same time opening entrepreneurial opportunities to cloud players.
K-12 Cybersecurity Education, Research, and Outreach. 2018 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE). :1—5.
.
2018. This research-to-practice work-in-progress addresses a new approach to cybersecurity education. The cyber security skills shortage is reaching prevalent proportions. The consensus in the STEM community is that the problem begins at k-12 schools with too few students interested in STEM subjects. One way to ensure a larger pipeline in cybersecurity is to train more high school teachers to not only teach cybersecurity in their schools or integrate cybersecurity concepts in their classrooms but also to promote IT security as an attractive career path. The proposed research will result in developing a unique and novel curriculum and scalable program in the area of cybersecurity and a set of powerful tools for a fun learning experience in cybersecurity education. In this project, we are focusing on the potential to advance research agendas in cybersecurity and train the future generation with cybersecurity skills and answer fundamental research questions that still exist in the blended learning methodologies for cybersecurity education and assessment. Leadership and entrepreneurship skills are also added to the mix to prepare students for real-world problems. Delivery methods, timing, format, pacing and outcomes alignment will all be assessed to provide a baseline for future research and additional synergy and integration with existing cybersecurity programs to expand or leverage for new cybersecurity and STEM educational research. This is a new model for cybersecurity education, leadership, and entrepreneurship and there is a possibility of a significant leap towards a more advanced cybersecurity educational methodology using this model. The project will also provide a prototype for innovation coupled with character-building and ethical leadership.
A study of intellectual property protection for mass innovation spaces. 2017 International Conference on Applied System Innovation (ICASI). :973–975.
.
2017. Intellectual property is inextricably linked to the innovative development of mass innovation spaces. The synthetic development of intellectual property and mass innovation spaces will fundamentally support the new economic model of “mass entrepreneurship and innovation”. As such, it is critical to explore intellectual property service standards for mass innovation spaces and to steer mass innovation spaces to the creation of an intellectual property service system catering to “makers”. In addition, it is crucial to explore intellectual cluster management innovations for mass innovation spaces.
