HI ID Pro's

As those of you know who attended the ID-Pro breakfast at RSA.. I'm in the new Masters of Science in Identity Management and Security at UT Austin. 

There have been some challenges in what has been taught... including that the factors of authentication are not that...but  "identifying Information" or as in the poster below says "Identity Attributes" 

They also have taught that password are identifiers (yes this was actually taught)... in this poster on the other side they are identity attributes..yes identity attributes. Sigh.  I have raised issues about these two things that have been taught...and well not gotten very far. (besides being told i'm a "bad student" and "unwilling to learn". 

But now they have this fabulous poster. I'm hoping some of you with blogs or twitter handles can point at the poster -  references it and explain why both things are wrong. (cause they, specifically Dr. Barber and Dr. Doty don't believe me. 

Or maybe this group could write a joint letter explaining its 'wrongness" it snot great that this center is putting out this information...it doesn't help us in the long run get explaining this stuff right. 

Here is the post on their site with the poster.
