Federation technology and practices have matured and implementations are increasingly common. However, today’s federations are confined to well defined communities of interest, and federations don’t completely address ease-of-use and privacy protection among disparate business contexts. The future identity architecture must include the best of today’s federations and the evolving user-centric identity frameworks.
Key Issues:
- How have federated identity requirements and market offerings evolved?
- How are the emerging user centric identity frameworks progressing towards maturity and mainstream adoption?
- How will today’s federation capabilities merge with personal identity frameworks to build tomorrow’s business partner and consumer identity architectures?
