Liberty Deployments

It’s good to see ana­lysts writ­ing sen­tences like “the Liberty spe­cific­a­tions are res­on­at­ing with major IT user organ­iz­a­tions” (quoted in an InfoWorld art­icle entitled E-government Group forms within Liberty Alli­ance). It shows that the Liberty spe­cific­a­tions (and not just fed­er­a­tion) are being imple­men­ted and deployed. Which brings me to the main point of this posting […]

Liberty Baby

The Liberty Alli­ance quarterly spon­sors meet­ing was in Van­couver this week, so even though I’m still offi­cially on mater­nity leave, I decided to attend as much as I could (baby allow­ing). It was worth­while going, the baby was a little fussy but slept through enough of the time that I could take part in some […]

Summer Identity

The cur­rent weather fore­cast for Van­couver is sunny and warm (into the high 20s; around 80 F) mak­ing it a pretty good place to be right now.

BCNet Liberty

Yes­ter­day I gave a talk at the (for­tu­nately) local BCNET/Netera Con­ver­ging Minds Con­fer­ence.

The con­fer­ence agenda had talks on lots […]

User-Centric Liberty

The cur­rent buzzword of user-centric iden­tity led some of us at one of the Liberty Alli­ance meet­ings to dis­cuss actu­ally writ­ing down and show­ing how Liberty spe­cific­a­tions could be used to imple­ment user-centric iden­tity sys­tems. One of the out­comes of that dis­cus­sion was a white paper entitled Per­sonal Iden­tity, edited by John Kemp of Nokia […]

Identity White Paper

One of the many pro­jects I’ve been involved in recently at Sun is a white paper that I con­trib­uted to, on the sub­ject of Iden­tity Man­age­ment for Con­verged Net­works. It’s a good intro­duc­tion to iden­tity man­age­ment, with a focus on Liberty Alli­ance spe­cific­a­tions and the terms they use. There is a cer­tain amount of product […]
