Title
Authentication & Online Trust Alliance
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Faced with increasing levels of spam and deceptive email, in early 2004, a group of business, industry and marketing leaders led by Bigfoot Interactive, Email Sender and Provider Coalition (ESPC), Microsoft and Sendmail began meeting to pursue solutions to authenticate email and improve user confidence. Following the FTC Authentication Summit in October 2004, a decision was made to take decisive action to advance authenticated email, forming www.emailauthentication.org. In July 2005, the first Email Authentication Summit was hosted in New York City. Underwritten by over three dozen industry and business leaders, this premier event was sold out with over 400 attendees. Responding to industry and governmental input, the alliance moved forward developing tools and resources, hosting the second Authentication & Reputation Summit in Chicago in April 2006. Once again the Summit was a sell-out with over 500 attendees. With the continued onslaught of phishing and deceptive email undermining user and business confidence, in September of 2006, emailauthentication.org was incorporated as the Authentication and Online Trust Alliance (AOTA) in Washington State as AOTA Inc.
