WASHINGTON - Dec. 17, 2018 - PRLog -- One World Identity (OWI) is announcing that Roger Dingledine, president and co-founder of the Tor Project, is joining the highly-anticipated KNOW Conference as its first keynote speaker. The premier global event for the identity industry, KNOW 2019 will take place in Las Vegas at the Aria Resort and Casino from Sunday, March 24th to Wednesday, March 27th.

As a pioneer in the field of online trust and digital privacy, Roger brings his singular expertise to KNOW's 2019 central theme: The Future of Trust.

Roger Dingledine is president and co-founder of the Tor Project, a nonprofit that develops free and open source software to protect people from tracking, censorship, and surveillance online. Wearing one hat, Roger works with journalists and activists across the world to help them understand and defend against the threats they face. Since 2002, Roger has helped organize the annual international Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS). Among his achievements, Roger was chosen by the MIT Technology Review as one of its top 35 innovators under 35, he co-authored the Tor design paper that won the Usenix Security "Test of Time" award, and he has been recognized by Foreign Policy magazine as one of its top 100 global thinkers.

KNOW 2019 will feature unparalleled sessions that tackle most complex challenges in digital identity and security. More than 200 expert speakers from across industry verticals will share firsthand insight on critical topics in cybersecurity, identity and access management (IAM), KYC and AML, fraud prevention, GDPR, self-sovereign identity, and more. The event's unique curated content (https://vegas.knowconf.com/2019-themes/) makes KNOW 2019 a must-attend event for business leaders looking to stay ahead in the new data economy.

"Roger Dingledine is well-versed in the importance of privacy, security, and anonymity, helping to bring trust back to a digital age. These are central topics we will tackle during KNOW 2019," says Travis Jarae, CEO of OWI. "Last year, 143 million credit records were hacked, 87 million social media accounts were breached, government snooping tools were leaked into the wrong hands, and CEOs were ousted. KNOW raises the bar for conversations around identity and connects enterprises with solutions, innovators with policymakers, and visionaries with investors. Experts from across the world will discuss how the future of innovation in identity can help companies without sacrificing the trust and safety of consumers."
