Ned Smith

Ned Smith is a Principal Engineer in the Open Technology Center (OTC) team in the Software Solutions Group at Intel Corporation. He is responsible for defining Internet of Things security architecture and standards for open IoT technologies. This includes defining IoT architecture for Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) and IPSO Alliance. Ned chairs the Security, Privacy and Identity (SPI) work group in IPSO Alliance. He is co-author of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) draft specification, draft-hardjono-ace-fluffy-03 that defines key management for constrained environments.    Ned joined Intel Labs in 1995 where he helped define the Common Data Security Architecture (CDSA) that was standardized by the Open Group. He chaired the Infrastructure Workgroup (IWG) in the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) from its inception until 2006. The IWG may best be known for its work on Network Access Control (NAC) standards that later became the Trusted Network Connect (TNC) working group within the TCG. The TNC standards were adopted by a majority of network security vendors supplying NAC products.    Ned has been highly influential within Intel having contributed to a long list of enterprise and office security technologies including Intel® Identity Protection Technology, Intel® Anti-theft Technology, Intel® Manageability Engine, Intel® Converged Security Engine, Intel® Trusted Execution Technology, Intel® Insider™, Intel® Virtualization Technology, Intel® Deep Defender™, Intel® Platform Trust Technology, Intel® Software Guard Extensions and numerous other security, privacy, identity and access management related projects.    Ned is a prolific inventor having received Intel’s highest award for patent filing in 2014. He has more than 115 patents granted and over 290 patents pending.Ned Smith is a Principal Engineer in the Open Technology Center (OTC) team in the Software Solutions Group at Intel Corporation.
