November 2016 by Marc Jacob
Kantara Initiative and the European
Association for E-identity and Security (EEMA) announced that they executed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at a signing ceremony at the Information Security
Solutions Europe (ISSE) “Securing Future European Business” Innovation Expo in
Paris today.
The MOU will enable member collaboration and knowledge sharing by bringing together
the complementary strengths that each organization has developed for the betterment
of the Digital Economy. Both non-profit industry organizations are leaders in their
respective technical and market niches. Kantara develops innovative Trust Framework
components and programs in the identity and personal data management space for
digital identity transformation. EEMA is the leading independent not for profit,
European think tank focusing on identification, authentication, privacy, risk
management, cyber security, the Internet of Things and mobile applications.
Kantara and EEMA to Work Together
The purpose of the MOU is to formally recognize the existing common aims and
juxtapositions of the two organizations as well as to be supportive of each other
for mutual and wider collective benefit. The two groups will share relevant market,
research and technical information, and other content that each organization would
otherwise provide only to its own members and/or participants, and will participate
in each other’s working groups and committees. Also, Kantara and EEMA will carry out
additional cross-organization outreach, initiatives and activities that may be
agreed to in future.
