Speaking in OASIS IDtrust Workshop in Barcelona
I've been invited to speak at the IDtrust workshop taking place at the Burton Catalyst Europe conference in October (Barcelona - yahoo!). I'm pretty excited about this opportunity, as there is a lot of federation going on in Europe, and it will be great to level-set. The talk begins at 9:30am, and is going to focus on the future of identity federation. Here's a sort summary.
Exiting 2007, federated identity management finds itself on the cusp of industry-wide breakout. With the promise of true identity portability, privacy and user control in the balance, now more than ever is a time for us to work collaboratively towards achieving the nirvana of "identity dial-tone."
Achieving a tipping point in federation hasn't come easy, but this session will explore the underlying forces at play and provide a perspective on how several seemingly competitive approaches simultaneously attacking the same problem has accelerated what will be the inevitable outcome.
