Re: [Kantara - Community] [community] an interesting question
by Frank Wray 18 Jan '11

18 Jan '11

I am not sure if I agree completely... Americans have a history of not trusting government, and as a matter of fact, America was born on the notion of the lack of trust in government. The media uses that to sell their product. But, Identity should not be treated as a government issue, nation issue, but a user-centric issue in an Internet connected world (global). Each user is the owner of their identity and each user should have the ability to provide the information that they want to provide when they engage in an Internet transaction (sharing information included) and maintain the anonymity when desired. NSTIC was misrepresented by the mainstream media, but the root of the issue is the name. We cannot have a Nation-centric identity eco-system in a global Internet. One of the beauties of the Internet is the lack of borders. A global initiative where governments, the private sector and user communities as interested parties build the trust framework and use some or one of the current trust framework initiatives out there. And I am not suggesting that NSTIC is necessarily nation-centric, but the name leads to that believe. I also believe that the misrepresentation of the media is actually a good thing. This will not necessarily "kill" the initiative it will improve it and maybe even "globalize it" as I have suggested. So, let's keep the conversation going... :) ----- Original Message ----- From: Tony Rutkowski Sent: 01/12/11 08:43 AM To: Drummond Reed Subject: [community] an interesting question The treatment of personal IdM in the U.S. is shaped in substantial measure by a messaging by the media and lobbying community that conveys a hostility to government - some of it extreme - where the government is always painted in negative terms. It is a perspective almost unknown elsewhere in the world. That perspective is reflected in some of the NSTIC dialogue last week. Has the calculus changed by recent events? --amr ____________________________________________________________ You received this message as a subscriber on the list: community(a)lists.idcommons.net To be removed from the list, send any message to: community-unsubscribe(a)lists.idcommons.net For all list information and functions, see: http://lists.idcommons.net/lists/info/community

Request for participation in a new Claims Agent WG
by Paul Trevithick 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

A new working group is in the process of being formed at Identity Commons. You can see the proposed charter here: http://wiki.idcommons.net/Claims_Agent_Charter As I hope is clear, the intent is to incorporate, build on, and add value to the work of many other existing efforts in the interest of both efficiency and reducing fragmentation of technologies in this space. This effort is initially focused on a fairly narrow scenario: Claims come from government, health and education sources and are verified by some source-dependent means Supported RPs include those at the same institutions that provided the claims, different agencies at different levels of governments and across national borders, as well as commercial organizations. Claims are exchanged in a way that helps protect the privacy of the citizen and security requirements of the claims provider (specific mechanisms employed depend on the scenario). If that scenario is of interest to you, please consider adding your name to the list near the bottom of the charter. You need only an OpenID to do so. Paul.

White House Advances "Trusted Identities" Program
by Rob Marano 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

Hey Guys, Hope this finds you all well... Have you heard about this "Trusted Identities" program? FYI http://www.darkreading.com/authentication/167901072/security/privacy/229000… Since I had not seen anyone comment or raise this in our group, I wanted to reach out and get the collective opinion of this... This sounds very much like what we were up to in the Liberty Alliance Program, now Kantara... I am not really sure what/why the US Govt is trying to do here given that the industry is already working to do this, and have been for quite a while. Are they going to "choose" one system and mandate it within its physical borders? Is this a mess waiting to happen or can it ever be "real, effective, and scaleable?" Inquiring minds need to know. -- Rob Marano (E) robmarano(a)gmail.com Arnold H. Glasow - "Success is simple. Do what's right, the right way, at the right time."

Identity Collaboration Day, February 14, 2011, San Francisco
by Dervla O'Reilly 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

RSA is approaching fast so we are reaching out to let you know about an event that Identity Commons and Kantara Initiative are co-hosting off-site on the day before RSA, February 14. What: Identity Collaboration Day - Across User-Centric, Enterprise and Government Identity Initiatives. We are partnering with the producers of the Internet Identity Workshop for an interactive collaborative day. Similarly to that event the agenda will be created by attendees on the day of the event. Our experience with this format has been one of intense dialogue and discussion moving real work forward. With the ongoing efforts lead by the federal government and agencies there will be much to talk about how they relate to enterprise and user-centric identity. This event is complementary to RSA. Due to the many different activities happening on the Monday before RSA, we have divided the day into 2 distinct sessions – morning and afternoon. Tickets are available for the entire day or for just the Morning or Afternoon session. Agenda creation will happen a second time just after lunch at the beginning of the Afternoon session. When: February 14, 2011, 8am - 6pm Where: The venue is in downtown San Francisco, just a short walking distance, cab or subway ride from the RSA Convention Center at Black Light Ventures 1543 Mission Street, San Francisco. Registration details: Early bird ticket prices are in effect until January 14 - http://idcolab.eventbrite.com/ Announcement details: http://kantarainitiative.org/wordpress/2010/12/identity-collaboration-day-f… ________________________ Dervla O’Reilly Program Manager Kantara Initiative +1 415 731 4487 business +1 415 948 3650 mobile +1 509 757 4487 fax dervla[at]kantarainitiative[dot]org http://www.kantarainitiative.org Subscribe to the Kantara Initiative newsletter

Re: [Kantara - Community] White House Advances "Trusted Identities" Program
by Popowycz, Alex 11 Jan '11

Kantara (among many others) has been involved with this effort as it has evolved in its origin (formerly known as NSSOT or National Strategy for Security Online Transactions). I believe largely due to feedback provided by Kantara (and its members) the strategy was renamed to the more appropriate NSTIC. The search on the Kantara site show where the conversation has been held relative to NSTIC (http://www.google.com/search?sitesearch=kantarainitiative.org&q=nstic) most notably within the Health ID WG and the IAF WG. Kantara issued a formal letter and comments during the "open" period when the draft of the NSTIC was out for comment during the summer of 2010. I believe the tenor of the feedback was aligned with Rob's opening questions insomuch that a lot of work has already been undertaken in this space and there doesn't need to be an independent government effort along the same lines.

Post NSTIC Stanford event meetup
by Kaliya 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hi everyone, I am going to work on finding a place for those of us attending the event at Stanford on Friday in person can go and get lunch and talk about what we heard/learned. I can figure out will post it here. (if you are more local to Standford then I am and have ideas let me know off list). Maybe some of us can bring our laptops and blog/post about it after we talk. It may also be good to have a phone call Monday to debrief people who were not able to attend in person. Mary can we use the IC Bridge for that? A GREAT opportunity to discuss and collaborate on all that is happening is the ID Collaboration Day happening Feb 14th pre-RSA - http://idcolab.eventbrite.com . -Kaliya
