Martin Kuppinger: Federation: The actual challenges become visible 14.08.2008 Martin Kuppinger
The concept of Identity Federation slowly begins to establish itself, whether in Back-End with �classical� approaches or in the form of the user-centric Identity Management. The challenges are also shifted through this.

Martin Kuppinger: Data basis � essential fundament of Identity Management 25.02.2008 Martin Kuppinger

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
