Dear Kantara Friends, As many of you are likely aware the Cloud Identity Summit (CIS) event is approaching July 16-19 Vail, Colorado, produced by PingID. http://www.cloudidentitysummit.com/ I believe that many of you are planning to attend. I also believe many of the Kantara Board members will be present. I would like to do a quick roll call and understand which Kantara members and community people might be in attendance. If you plan to attend the CIS event could you please RSVP to me so that I can get an understanding of how many of us will be present. Based on responses we may plan some informal gatherings as appropriate and where space is available. Thanks in advance and looking forward to seeing you at CIS (if you plan to attend)!

Spotlight on Kevin Cox
by Dervla O'Reilly 23 May '12

23 May '12

Spotlight on Kevin Cox Kevin Cox is a participant in the Kantara Initiative’s User-Managed Access (UMA) Work Group. His interest in User-Managed Access stems from a long experience in user interface design and the construction of information systems with a user focus. Kevin blogs at http://cscoxk.wordpress.com. The blog is subtitled “the implications of giving users control over their online information”. In 2004 Kevin founded Edentiti a company whose objective is to give users control over electronic information about themselves. The first Edentiti productgreenID gives an individual tools to verify their own electronic identities. With this product the individual becomes their own Identity Provider. The tools for a person being their own Identity Provider are the same as the tools used by third party Identity Providers. However, the resulting system is less expensive to operate while protecting privacy and increasing trust. In UMA terminology Edentiti is currently designing and developing tools to allow an individual to be their own Authorisation Manager (AM). It is believed that the same advantages of a person being their own Identity Provider will hold when a person becomes their own Authorising Manager. The underlying software and user interface components will be the same or similar but the emergent properties of increased trust, privacy protection and lower cost will emerge because the person is their own AM. Kevin wrote his first program in 1962 and ran it on a machine, in a chocolate factory, that was a commercial development of the computer used in code cracking during the second world war. Kevin has been an active participant, in many roles, as computers have changed from helping calculations to systems that expand our intellect and enhance our ability to communicate with others. We’re very happy to have Kevin’s leadership and knowledge. ________________________ Dervla O’Reilly Program & Event Manager Kantara Initiative +1 415 731 4487 business +1 509 757 4487 fax dervla[at]kantarainitiative[dot]org http://www.kantarainitiative.org Learn more about Kantara Initiative membership: http://kantarainitiative.org/wordpress/membership/

Reinventing the Web, One Site at a Time: New label helps people make smarter decisions about information we share online
by Dervla O'Reilly 02 May '12

02 May '12

Reinventing the Web, One Site at a Time: New label helps people make smarter decisions about information we share online May 2, 2012 Mountain View, California – At this week’s Internet Identity Workshop, Kantara Initiative’s Information Sharing Work Group (http://InformationSharingWorkGroup.org) released a proposed Standard Information Sharing Label designed to help people understand how the information we share online gets used. The label replaces confusing legalese typically buried in multi-page Terms of Service agreements with clear, simple language about who is requesting what information, for what purpose. The label can be used by any website with minimal effort and at no cost. The team has launched a Kickstarter project to fund the graphic design of the new label and seeks feedback and input in its weekly conference calls. Website Terms of Service (TOS) agreements often go unread as website visitors ignore links and “click-through” without actually reading the fine print. As a result, most people have no idea what they are agreeing to. Typically these agreements are isolated from the primary user experience and filled with complex language and details that most people don’t understand. However, with the rise of privacy risks from sharing personal information online, people are increasingly concerned about how their information is used. The Standard Information Sharing Label works in conjunction with existing practices to give individuals a clear, unambiguous picture of what is happening with the information they are about to share. Using a consistent design across all websites makes it easier for individuals to understand before they share, just like the USDA Nutrition Facts label helps consumers understand their nutritional options before they buy packaged foods. The Working Draft of the proposed specification can be found at http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/infosharing/Standard+Inform… The group has produced a short video and launched a Kickstarter project to promote and finance the graphic design of the Standard Label. The video and information for backing the project can be found at http://standardlabel.org The Information Sharing Work Group formed in April of 2009 to create a way to use contract law to make it easier and safer for people to share information online. Focusing on the narrow use case of information individuals voluntarily give to websites, the group’s approach avoids both the challenge of “solving” online privacy and the herculean task of standardizing general Terms of Service agreements. Bootstrapping a contractual Data Transaction agreement at the point of sharing is simpler and easier to understand, allowing both individuals and organizations to agree on the essential details for any online exchange. The Standard Information Sharing Label is the visible portion of that new framework and the first component to be released for public comment. The Work Group is co-Chaired by Iain Henderson and Joe Andrieu. Kantara Initiative (http://kantarainitiative.org) is an industry and community organization which enables trust in identity services through our compliance programs, requirements development, and information sharing among communities including: industry, research & education, government agencies and international stakeholders.
