Schedule August 2: Registration BEGINS December 30: Registration deadline January 6 (2011): SAML 2.0 Tests starts February 24 (2011): Test ends Why Have Your SAML Product Kantara Initiative Interoperability Certified? The SAML standard continues to be one of the most widely adopted identity management standards in the world. With industries from around the globe adopting SAML, the critical identity information that flows over SAML represents 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, 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 thetest plan at: http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/certification/SAML+2.0+Full… 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?

Invitation to Kick-off of Privacy Framework Development
by j stollman 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

All, You are invited to the kick-off meeting of the Privacy Framework subgroup of the Kantara Initiative (KI) Privacy and Public Policy work group (P3wg). This meeting ushers in the creation of a Privacy Framework that will allow third-party auditors to assess and certify the privacy protection practices of Identity Providers and Relying Parties. The kick-off telecon will be held this Thursday (Friday in Asia/Pacific). If, due to the short notice, you are unable to attend this kick-off, but desire to be kept updated on our next call, please let me know by reply email. Here is the dial-in information: US/Canada toll-free number: 1.866.305.1460 Direct dial (toll) number: +1.416.620.1296 Additional toll-free numbers: UK: 0800 917 5847 Netherlands: 08002659007 Belgium: 080079491 Japan: 00531160345 * Attendee Code: 9247530 +Thursday 08:00 PT / 11:00 ET / 16:00 UTC/GMT / 01:00 +1 day Japan / 05:00 + 1 day New Zealand Here is the agenda for the call: 1. Introductions and roll call 2. Description of the mission 3. Execution Plan 1. Communities of Interest 2. Leverage parallel efforts 3. Document requirements 4. Develop outline 5. Develop PF 6. Develop ICAM profile 7. Develop other profiles as clients evince interest 4. Schedule 1. Phase I: Discovery For January 2. Phase 2: Framework Development 3. Phase 3: ICAM Profile Development . *Background* In the traditional three-party internet transaction model, there are Subjects, Identity Providers (IdPs) and Relying Parties (RPs). To create trust among all three parties, a Trust Framework establishes a three-legged stool that provides (1) Assurance, (2) Protection, and (3) Control. * Assurance* is the trust a Relying Party can have in the ability of the Identity Provider to accurately represent the Subject when the Identity Provider assigns an ID to the Subject. *Protection* is the ability of the Subject to trust that his personal information is being handled “as advertised” by both the IdP and the RP. *Control* is the ability of the Subject to correct errors in the information about him/her as well as the ability specify when and how this information is disseminated. A fourth party – an Attribute Provider – also needs to be considered in this model. The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has defined a hierarchy four Levels of Assurance and prescribed information proofing practices necessary to provide increasing levels of assurance for transactions that require them. At Level 1, an identity can be self-asserted for simple transactions such as managing one's Facebook account. Additional assurance is typically required for higher value transactions that might involve the transfer of money or confidential information. The Kantara Initiative has already created an Identity Assurance Framework (IAF). This Framework describes auditable Service Assessment Criteria (SACs) that can be used to vet an Identity Provider's ability to provide identities at different Levels of Assurance. The IAF establishes these broad rules and also includes profiles that allow for variations as needed to address unique requirements that exist for different trust frameworks (typically defined by either national jurisdiction or industry sector). A profile has been created for the US government's ICAM program. The IAF provides an RP with the necessary level of trust to conduct business at various Levels of Assurance. *Privacy Framework* The next step needed in this process is to create a Privacy Framework that affords Subjects the trust they need in how their personal information will be treated to induce them to use the Trust Framework. Here is where you can find the P3WG wiki, our charter, deliverables and work in progress. http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/p3wg/Home -- Jeff Stollman stollman.j(a)gmail.com 1 202.683.8699

Kantara Initiative welcomes new member ADP IoS

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

W3C Social Web Incubator Group Final Report
by J. Trent Adams 15 Oct '10

15 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
