  Wes  KUSSMAUL     Authentrus  

Wes Kussmaul is the author of several books about privacy and authentication, including Quiet Enjoyment (2004), Own Your Privacy (2007) (also published as The Sex Life of Tables), and The Future Needs You (2007). As CEO of the Village Group, Inc., Wes is involved in deploying a PKI called the Quiet Enjoyment Infrastructure. QEI is distinguished by a focus on key pairs established through standardized enrollment practices and online spaces built upon the very old concepts of professional licensing, building codes and occupancy permits. Wes turned his attention to enrollment technologies that would establish reliable identities that would enable reliable online spaces governed by the principles of professional licensing, building codes and occupancy permits. His work caught the attention of the team at the International Telecommunication Union that was building the World e-Trust Initiative, a PKI providing an authenticated e-commerce infrastructure to developing nations. Motivated by the fact that the developed world needs precisely the same thing, in 2002 the company became a charter signatory to the World e-Trust MoU and is now a Sector Member of the ITU. To accommodate the fact that a reliable information infrastructure calls for both duly constituted public authority as well as private entrepreneurial initiative, Wes reorganized the company in 2005 as The Village Group, Inc., a provider of intellectual property and support services to entrepreneurs, enrollment officers and organizations involved in the development of online authenticity using the methods, principles and standards specified in the Quiet Enjoyment Infrastructure. Today Wes is an individual adherent of the International Union of Latin Notaries and has been appointed a Notary Ambassador by the National Notary Association. Wes serves in an advisory capacity to the newly elected Secretary General of the International Telecommunication Union, located in Geneva, Switzerland.
