Kantara Initiative welcomes new member ADP IoS
by Dervla O'Reilly 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

Please join us in welcoming new member ADP IoS. We look forward to their participation and Serge Ravet's leadership of a new Discussion Group: The European Use Case & Market/Internet of Subjects. Stay tuned for details of this new group to follow shortly. Cheers, Dervla = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Created in 2009, ADP-IoS (http://www.iosf.org/) is a not-for-profit association which mission is to support the creation of the Internet of Subjects, i.e. an architecture where personal data is being freed and placed under the full control of individuals —all things being equal, the IoS is to personal data what initiatives such as "raw data now!" are to public data. The vision of the IoS is an architecture where individuals have a tangible, autonomous, representation of themselves, based on a clear separation between the storage of personal data and metadata, in personal proxies (personal data stores / lockers / services) from their exploitation by service providers, organisations, businesses and public bodies. Such an architecture should create the conditions for the emergence of new services and business models and more balanced and trustworthy relationships between individuals and organisations. IoS will contribute to Kantara's work by exploring the implementation of existing Kantara specifications to create a Personal-Proxy-based architecture and study its impact on current and future business models in order to provide recommendations for future standards. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Créé en 2009, ADP-IOS (www.iosf.org) est un organisme sans but lucratif dont la mission est d'accompagner la création de l'Internet of Subjects (Internet des Sujets) reposant sur une architecture où les données personnelles sont libérées et placées sous le contrôle entier des individus —toutes choses étant égales, l'IoS est aux données à caractère personnel ce que des initiatives telles que "Raw Data Now!" (données brutes maintenant!) sont aux données publiques. La vision de l'IOS est une architecture où les individus ont un représentation d'eux-mêmes tangible et autonome, fondée sur une séparation claire entre le stockage des données à caractère personnel et les métadonnées, gérées par des agents personnels (personal proxy, personal data store, personal locker, etc. ) de leur exploitation par des prestataires de services, organisations, entreprises et organismes publics. Une telle architecture doit créer les conditions pour l'émergence de nouveaux services et modèles d'affaires et aller vers des relations plus équilibrées et plus dignes de confiance entre les individus et organisations. IoS contribuera aux travaux de Kantara en explorant la mise en œuvre des spécifications actuelles de Kantara pour créer une architecture fondée sur des 'Personal Proxies' et étudier son impact sur les modèles d'affaires actuels et futurs afin de fournir des recommandations pour de futures normes. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ________________________ Dervla O’Reilly Program Manager Kantara Initiative +1 415 731 4487 business +1 415 948 3650 mobile +1 415 202 5212 Skype +1 509 757 4487 fax dervla[at]kantarainitiative[dot]org http://www.kantarainitiative.org

by Dervla O'Reilly 28 Oct '10

28 Oct '10

As we plan for 2011, Kantara will continue to hold meetings and add a series of Summits to our event schedule. We are looking for general interest in hosting a Kantara meeting and/ or a Summit. Summits: a series of 1-day Summits where a portion of the agenda is designated to Kantara's groups focussing on current and future activities. The remaining time is open for the Kantara community and it's members to present work and hold break-out sessions. This is an excellent opportunity for you or your organization to showcase new work. Ideally a 7-8-hour Summit (one room for approx. 50 persons). Meetings: we will continue as in the past, our next meeting is estimated for Spring 2011 and then 6 months later in the Winter time. Ideally a 3-day Kantara Initiative meeting (approx. 3 rooms x 3 days). Locations: North America, EMEA and potentially Asia. We are considering Silicon Valley, Washington, New York in North America. In EMEA and beyond, Munich, London, Bratislava, Barcelona, China, India, Australia & Japan. Please contact me directly - I can provide more detailed information regarding theses events if you have any interest to host or sponsor.

W3C Social Web Incubator Group Final Report
by J. Trent Adams 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

All - If you haven't already seen it, the W3C Social Web Incubator Group recently published it's final report: http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/wiki/FinalReport Of specific interest to this group is their summary of work taking place around Identity: http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/wiki/FinalReport#Identity I'm not sure if it's an oversight or was a conscious decision, but it's interesting that there only mention of "trust frameworks" is in a passing reference. NOTE: I'm not entirely sure of the status of this report... the header indicates it's complete, but there appear to be some remaining questions embedded in the text. - Trent -- J.

With industries from around the globe adopting SAML, the critical identity information that flows over SAMLrepresents millions of identities each year. To ensure that identity information is securely handled, Kantara Initiative full-matrix interoperability certification is mission critical for these industries. There are typically some 6-8 participating products from around the globe participating in each round of testing with some 500 SAML transactions performed. Kantara Initiative selected Drummond Group <http://www.drummondgroup.com/>, the trusted interoperability test lab, as its testing partner. Drummond Group has a proven track record of certification of interoperability of software, having tested hundreds of products from around the globe in a variety of standards. *What will be tested?* The Kantara Initiative SAML 2.0 test criteria test plan covers the required functionality through documented test steps. Version 3.3 of the test plan was finalized last month and will be used in this year’s test event. It will be similar to last year’s version 3.2.2 but also includes the new eGov 2.0 profile. You can find the test plan at: http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/certification/SAML +2.0+Full+Matrix+Test+Event eGov profiles vs. 1.5 and 2.0 will be tested in this upcoming test event. The SAML 2.0 eGovernment Profile 2.0 reflects the features deemed necessary or desirable from software implementations in support of a variety of deployment profiles planned and in use for government identity management. One aspect of this version of the profile that is particularly interesting is the inclusion of Metadata and Trust Management support. *Interested or have questions?* Please contact KANTARA INITIATIVE: Joni Brennan, email: joni(a)ieee-isto.org or Drummond Group: Joani Hughes, email: Joani(a)drummondgroup.com Best Regards, -- Joni Brennan IEEE-ISTO Kantara Initiative | Managing Director voice:+1 732-226-4223 email: joni @ ieee-isto.org gtalk: jonibrennan skype: upon request Join the conversation on the community@ list - http://kantarainitiative.org/mailman/listinfo/community
