The speech opened with the popular YouTube video Did You Know 3.0, about world change. Vanderhoof used the payments and healthcare industries to showcase examples of the security threats that are facing U.S. citizens today when identity management is lacking and gave examples of how smart card technology addresses these security challenges.
