CertiPath Names Stephen Howard VP of Operations
Identity Management Leader to Drive Interoperability of Commercial and Federally-Issued Credentials
Howard brings deep expertise in creating secure and reliable identity solutions. With more than 25 years of information technology experience, he’s worked first-hand with cryptographic solutions, smart card systems, public key infrastructure (PKI) and biometric technologies.
As a contributing author to FIPS 201(Federal Information Processing Standards), Howard has played an instrumental role in creating the personal identity verification standards used among federal employees and contractors today.
“Risk associated with insecure information sharing is at an all time high, and having a high degree of assurance in the identities of participants is the foundation for mitigation,” said
Howard will be responsible for expanding CertiPath’s core credentialing services to meet today’s critical need for interoperability between commercial and federal-issued credentials as well as those issued abroad.
“CertiPath is uniquely positioned to achieve credentialing success as the only PKI bridge advancing the worldwide convergence of logical and physical credential assurance,” said Howard. “I’m excited to join the team on its mission to create the final solution to trust assurance.”
