Phil Windley just posted a comment on WS-MEX, where he asks why we need it…
I’ll admit it: I don’t really get WS-MetadataExchange (or WS-MEX, as it’s affectionately known). I understand why someone might want to get the Scheme, WSDL, and WS-Policy data for a service. I’m just not clear on why a simple URL isn’t [...]
Let’s welcome Don Bowen (a.k.a. Wizard of IdM) to the blogosphere… Don has been involved in identity issues for many years, and was one of the first people to deploy a metadirectory when he was at Caterpillar and I had just finished the very first version of ZOOMIT VIA. We had a [...]
There is a gripping identity Battle of the Titans going on between Stefan Brandt (from Credentica and McGill) and SuperPat (Pat Patterson of Sun Microsystems) on their respective blogs. It is really a good and fascinating discussion.
There are too many pieces going back and forth for me to get this completely right, but as [...]
I met with Phil Windley in person recently. We had a great exchange of ideas, and I was fascinated by his nuanced comments about identity and context.
I have the feeling I won’t shock too many people by saying I am not the world’s biggest fan of using the word “trust” to describe [...]
It was good to hear from Robin Wilton, who by the way has a new role in Sun’s CTO group:
Kim Cameron has just posted here on Stephen Deadman‘s recent paper concerning the legal implications of establishing a Liberty Circle of Trust.
Having just returned from the Liberty Sponsors‘ meeting, I think I can safely say that [...]
The Liberty Alliance has published a paper called “Circles of Trust: The Implications of EU Data Protection and Privacy Law for Establishing a Legal Framework for Identity Federation” which is available for download here.
The paper was edited by Stephen Deadman and compiled by a very knowledgable panel of contributors including Luc Mathan, Christine Varney, Jeff [...]
Stefan Brands has pubished a Primer on User Identification which can be downloaded here. It is a good introduction to Stefan’s thinking and research - very stimulating work.
I know there are people who hear about a metasystem proposal and think, “Can’t we just stick with TOKEN-X and have done with it?” [...]
Privacy International just posted the list of winners of the U.S. Big Brother Awards.
Of course there were many potential candidates, but the prize for Most Invasive Proposal or Project went to an initiative I have previously called out as a blockbuster. I’m talking about the “Brittan Elementary School RFID tagging of students” [...]
I recently wrote about the Conference on Computers, Freedom and Privacy that just took place in Seattle.
I met a number of key thinkers there, people who have worked hard for a long time to understand what privacy really is and how to protect it as technology evolves and we settle cyberspace. I [...]
Jack Krupansky has pointed out that if we want to speak to a wider audience, we need a really crisp problem statement. Speaking of the latest identity meltdown at University of California, he says:
Do you think that Senator Feinstein, et al are in possession of a rock-solid “problem statement”? I think not. [...]
