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,
