Phil Becker of Digital ID World (DIDW) had this to say about Dave Kearns’ recent post on InfoCards (my comments here).
It may be mostly true “that there’s nothing new here except” the decentralized and heterogeneous aspects of this approach. But then, that’s exactly what it has taken a decade to fully understand is actually the [...]
The recent piece in which Hubert Le Van Gong began looking at InfoCards attracted a number of comments from the Liberty and SAML side of the house. I’m glad to see them joining with those of us already in this discussion to look at what we might accomplish together.
First up was Robin Wilton [...]
Dave Kearn has been posting up a storm - a good storm - including his comment on Johannes Ernst’s What is Microsoft InfoCard? He says:
The explanation is a good, if somewhat convoluted, one. But could be simplified.
InfoCard is simply Novell’s old DigitalME decentralized (as Novell’s personal directory intended it to be) and hopped up [...]
Here are some comments on the Laws by Bob Wyman, co-founder and CTO of pubsub.com.
I strongly support Hubert Le Van Gong’s concern about the confusion between the “provision of identity versus the provision of attributes.” In fact, I go further to say that I am concerned that your Laws and the many discussions [...]
When we were at DIDW my friend Bob Blakley and I got into some deep discussions about identity, and decided to pursue the conversation here since it might be of interest to others. When I asked how to introduce him, Bob suggested I explain he is in the “Drama Department at IBM”, which is, [...]
Thanks to Nick Mudge for pointing me to an article in govtech.net which first appeared in this newsletter run by the CIO of New York State. It’s interesting - and shows the extent to which the E-Authentication initiative is picking up steam at the state level.
Pat Patterson has introduced me to one of his friends from Sun’s CTO office. He’s a new blogger called Hubert Le Van Gong. Hubert has started thinking pretty deeply about our metasystem proposal. Here’s his posting:
Microsoft recently shed more light on their new identity project called the Identity Metasystem. A [...]
Dick Hardt has moved the identity part of his blog to Identity 2.0. Identity 2.0 is his meme for differentiating user-centric identity from what came before it. I like it.
Dick gave an absolutely fantastic presentation on identity at DIDW last week. It was intensely visual and direct - and really got [...]
FYI: Here is a story by Joris Evers at news.com on InfoCards. The story makes it clear that only momentum and mutual benefit can create an identity metasystem.
Speaking of Johannes, at the bottoms up identity meeting preceeding DIDW he made some really good points about the need to brainstorm deeply on what we mean by an identity big bang. How will applications change? What new applications will appear? I think Johannes is right on target when he calls on [...]
