EIC 08 Sessions

Virtual Directories and Beyond 24.04.2008 11:30-12:30 Martin Kuppinger, Kuppinger Cole + Partner Dale Olds, Novell Sampo Kellomäki, Symlabs Michel Prompt, Radiant Logic Dave Kearns, Network World Jackson Shaw, Quest Software
Dale Olds recently wrote in his blog about the need for an Identity Bus, describing it as "[...] a system that allows for loose coupling between identity data publishers and consumers in sequence where there is no single point of administrative control. It’s a way of passing identity data between a number of control points. It is explicitly about moving beyond hub tools like meta/virtual/directories." Sampo Kellomäki added: "In removing political single point of control, concern arises regarding the privacy consequences and mitigation needed to make such a bus approach tenable. The panel will debate the tradeoff of loss of control versus benefits of the larger ecosystem and what can be done to minimize the collateral damage." View details

Putting Context in Identity: User-Centric Context 23.04.2008 16:30-17:30 Dale Olds, Novell Johannes Ernst, NetMesh Robin Wilton, Sun Microsystems
While the context of authentication is also important in the User-centric identity sphere, the added use of context by the user - the choosing of the right persona as evidenced by the multiplicity of user-centric identity devices any one user might have – is an area just beginning to be explored by not only technologists but also sociologists, privacy advocates and legal scholars.
