Subject: Analysis of first four case studies
On our last concall, I signed up to analyze the first four case studies in June's summary. The aim is to filter the case studies down to a few, selecting the best and those that address the issues cited by survey respondents: benefits of PKI, value, ROI, and risk management. Here's my analysis. 1 http://cio.co.nz/cio.nsf/0/F7353E7F83C87867CC256DC600184131?OpenDocument HP Case Study: Battle-tested tech: security and data mining This document largely overlaps document 4 but does not do as good a job in covering the areas we want to cover: PKI benefits, value, ROI, and risk management. I recommend we omit it from our list. 2 http://www.articsoft.com/case_studies_medical1.htm Articsoft Case Study - Medical Records Transcription This document also does not provide much detail about the areas we want to cover. It describes a document signing installation. If we don't have a good case study for document signing, then we should include this. But we should not feature it. 3 http://www.pwc.com/Extweb/NewCoAtWork.nsf/docid/D5C23450A741F81E85256DB400000520 PWC: Identity Management Case Study: What We Did For a Major US Financial Client This case study has very little to do with PKI, maybe nothing. I suggest we omit it. 4 http://www.globalplatform.org/fcs/DOD_Case_Study.pdf Common Access Cards - Expanding the Functionality of ID Cards for the US Department of Defense Finally, a good solid case study that covers the benefits, challenges, and risk management aspects of a real-world PKI deployment. It describes the Common Access Card deployment at the U.S. Department of Defense, a huge deployment of PKI-enabled smart cards. Many organizations are interested in using PKI-enabled smart cards for employee identification so this is a great use case to include. The only complaints I have are that it's a bit dated (only one year old, though) and a bit long (four pages). But I'd say this is definitely a keeper! I apologize that it has taken me almost two weeks to provide this analysis. Just in the nick of time! Thanks, Steve
