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 <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… 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 -- 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

Kantara Initiative and Open Identity Exchange Announce Collaboration to Grow Trust Framework Adoption
by Dervla O'Reilly 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

Kantara Initiative and Open Identity Exchange Announce Collaboration to Grow Trust Framework Adoption Piscataway, NJ, July 27, 2010 – Open Identity Exchange (OIX) and Kantara Initiative announced today that they will begin collaborating on digital trust framework development to build and promote adoption of a robust online trust ecosystem. Digital trust frameworks enable trust in transactions such as logins, registrations, and online eCommerce by allowing digital identity credentials produced by one site to be accepted at other sites. Kantara Initiative and OIX, the industry’s two leading organizations focused on trust framework infrastructure, have agreed to the following high-level goals for collaboration: 1. Develop a joint approach to federation services and trust framework certification that takes advantage of the complementary features of the Kantara Initiative Identity Assurance Framework (IAF) and the OIX Trust Framework Platform. 2. Develop technology and policy best practice guidelines in response to growing needs for trust frameworks spanning all types of networks, transactions, and jurisdictions around the globe. 3. Identify additional trust framework infrastructure, operations, and testing areas of synergy. The two organizations have agreed to jointly submit their own certification assessment results into an operational database which would be hosted by OIX to provide a consolidated view of certification status. An early version of the operational database instance will be a part of the Burton Catalyst Open Identity for Business demo event in July 2010. Additionally, Kantara Initiative will begin offering their IAF Profiles as trust framework options within the OIX Trust Framework Platform which will allow OIX member companies to obtain certification against IAF Profiles and have these certifications included directly in the OIX Certification Listing Service. To further develop this collaborative relationship, representatives of the Kantara Initiative will join the OIX Advisory Board, and OIX will join the Kantara Initiative Identity Assurance Working Group (IAWG). “Kantara Initative’s collaboration with OIX represents a significant advancement in identity management that will serve to promote security and trust to various digital identity stakeholders (Identity Service Providers, Credential Service Providers, Relying Parties and End- Users, Federation Operators) across multiple technology platforms,” says Matthew Gardiner, Kantara Initiative president and director, CA Technologies Security customer solutions unit. “Our collaboration effort with Kantara Initiative shows how identity services can enable business at multiple levels of assurance and across multiple protocols and multiple federations,” said Don Thibeau, OIX president. “The governmental efforts to offer open identity solutions, such as the White House’s recently announced National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC), are one tangible example of this.” “Reliable identity information is increasingly critical for electronic business. Until recently, there was no way for an enterprise to know whether identity information provided by third parties was trustworthy and accurate. The US ICAM Trust Framework Provider Adoption Process has provided the foundation for an ecosystem of trustworthy identity providers, but ICAM’s efforts will only be effective if trust framework providers and identity providers adopt it.” said Bob Blakley, VP and Research Director, Burton Group. ”The collaboration between Kantara Initiative and OIX marks a significant milestone on the ongoing work to ensure the highest levels of trust across all assurance levels for today’s online transactions,” said Andrew Nash, Sr. Director of Identity Services PayPal. About Open Identity Exchange The Open Identity Exchange (OIX) is a neutral, technology agnostic, nonprofit provider of certification trust frameworks for online identity. Its certification credentials can be used across multiple sites, jurisdictions and networks. OIX was founded by grants from the OpenID and Information Card Foundations and support from companies including Google, PayPal, AT&T, Equifax, VeriSign, Verizon, and CA technologies. For more information, visit www.openidentityexchange.org. About Kantara Initiative Kantara Initiative is a global, open, public-private, technology- agnostic forum comprised of identity ecosystem stakeholders. Kantara Initiative’s inspired mission is to promote technical interoperability and harmonization; to develop policy frameworks for operational interoperability and; to provide certification and assessment programs to grow trust in the standards, products, and service deployments. Kantara Initiative freely provides the governance and resources whereby diverse members of the ecosystem successfully collaborate on a diverse portfolio of common policy frameworks, technical specifications and deployment guidelines driven by the identity community, industry and governments from around the world.

An observation: SSO's are consolidating and/or collaborating more, but identity is incomplete.
by Owen Thomas 24 Jul '10

24 Jul '10

Hi there. I do apologise if I seem to be banging on about Clique Space, and it's all good to see consolidation around a single standard for S(Single)SO. Still, I think there is still room for improvement in identity, and that's why I conceived this way of doing things. Nothing I know has the potential of capturing the dynamic real-time nature of an individual's activity. Nothing like Clique Space. However, being one person who can come up with what could be a great idea, I do need help in getting things done. Again, sorry for harping on - maybe you can help me in some way. :) Owen. -- Radical collocation: look, just stop it!

An observation: SSO's are consolidating and/or collaborating more
by Brett McDowell 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

This email notice prompted me to share an observation with this community list. CEN and CENELEC are essentially consolidating. FSTC & BITS have essentially consolidated (or are somewhere along in the process). Liberty Alliance & Concordia Project are consolidating into Kantara Initiative. Electronic Authentication Partnership & Raddichio consolidated with Liberty Alliance before that. OpenID Foundation & Information Card Foundation seem to be consolidating their trust framework activities into the OIF/OIE project/organization. OASIS is more directly involved with various "non-accredited industry consortia" than I've ever seen before. ISOC is investing time and dollars into Kantara Initiative and W3C (among others no doubt). There are probably other moves like this in the identity, security, and privacy space that I'm forgetting to mention or haven't actually stumbled upon yet. For discussion: why is this happening, and is it a good thing for standards development and/or adoption? It's no secret that standards setting organizations are feeling the impact of the economic downturn and consolidation is one of several options each group faces. Many of you subscribed to this mailing list are pretty close to several of these consolidation/cooperation projects. I hoping some of you will share your personal observations about how this strategy is working and where you think this is all headed -- is this trend going to reverse or continue? -- Brett Begin forwarded message: > > From: Penny Sarah [mailto:spenny@cencenelec.eu] > Sent: 11 February 2010 18:03 > To: Coop_all; CGF_Email List > Subject: CEN and CENELEC new email addresses > > > > > Dear Madam, > Dear Sir, > > The close collaboration between CEN and CENELEC, which was consolidated by the creation of a common CEN-CENELEC Management Centre (CCMC) at the beginning of this year, is now further reflected in our new e-mail address: flastname(a)cencenelec.eu. > > For example, if you wish to contact CCMC Communication Unit Manager, Elisabeth Brodthagen use ebrodthagen(a)cencenelec.eu > > Please make a note of our new email addresses and amend your contact lists accordingly. > > In attachment you will find the organization chart of the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre as well as a telephone and e-mail directory of all CCMC staff. > > Our postal address is: > > CEN-CENELEC Management Centre > Avenue Marnix 17 > B-1000 Brussels > > We would appreciate if you could distribute this email in your organisation. > > Should you have any enquiries, please send an e-mail to communication(a)cencenelec.eu. > > Best regards, > > Sarah PENNY > Director – External Relations >

Authorization Standards Workshop at Burton Catalyst San Diego, July 27, 2010, 12:30-2:30pm
by Dervla O'Reilly 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

When: July 27, 2010 12:30-2:30pm, Room Aqua 302, Hilton Bayfront Hotel Where: Burton Catalyst San Diego Title: Authorization Standards Workshop Abstract: As authorization generally follows authentication in a given online transaction, standardization of authorization has generally followed that of web authentication standards like SAML, WS- Federation, and OpenID. This workshop will explore developments & trends in authorization standards, including OAuth (a community initiative now being standardized within the IETF), User-Managed Access (evolving within the Kantara Initiative) and XACML (an OASIS standard). We’ll also look at some authorization use cases that may imply new requirements of these protocols. Through a combination of presentations, panels and demonstrations – we’ll explore how these existing & emerging authorization standards fit into the enterprise & social web infrastructure. Agenda: Welcome, Intro & Overview Paul Madsen – 5 mins Preso 1 - XACML 3.0 Update It’s been more than 5 years since eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) version 2 was standardized at OASIS. In the meantime XACML has grown in popularity as a standard and the number of production XACML implementations continues to grow steadily. XACML 3.0, currently in the final stages of ratification, contains significant enhancements that will enable it to keep pace with growing enterprise demands. In this session, Gerry Gebel will describe the enhancements to version 3.0, including the SAML 2.0, Delegation and Multiple Decision Request profiles. Gerry will also provide use case samples of how new features of XACML 3.0 can be implemented. Gerry Gebel, Axiomatics – 25 mins Preso 2/use case - OAuth As today’s businesses increasingly shift their processes into the cloud, a simplified set of design patterns and standards are required to harmonize the speed and compelling economics of the cloud with companies’ existing Identity management systems and processes. Topics will include the evolution of OAuth2, and it’s applicability to enterprise use-cases for cloud authorization and API federation. Chuck Mortimer, Product Management Director, Identity & Security, Salesforce.com – 25 mins Break 5 mins Preso 3/use case - IASWG overview and review of authorization use cases Description of IASWG purpose and goals, review authorization use cases received by IASWG thus far, review Concordia AuthZ Survey results. John Tolbert, Boeing & Gavin Illingworth, BMO – 25 mins Preso 4/use case - Federation Authorization and the Cloud – Why A Pragmatic Approach is Important Harding will discuss what organizations are doing today in the context of federation and authorization. Further he will examine what are the next pragmatic steps organizations should consider such that they can successfully implement a federated authorization model for cloud computing. Patrick Harding, PingID – 25 mins Closing comments 10 mins Please RSVP to Dervla O’Reilly, dervla[at]kantarainitiative[dot]org Event details: http://www.catalyst.burtongroup.com/NA10/ConferenceElements.html Burton Catalyst agenda: https://burtongroup.wingateweb.com/na2010/scheduler/weekAtGlance.do ________________________ 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

Kantara Initiative announces eValid8 as their first Accredited Assessor
by Dervla O'Reilly 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Kantara Initiative announces eValid8 as their first Accredited Assessor Kantara Initiative is proud to announce eValid8 as their first Accredited Assessor for the Identity Assurance Accreditation and Certification Program. The Identity Assurance Accreditation and Certification Program is committed to helping drive organizational interoperability in order to assure trust in the identity-based experience of end users, Relying Parties and Federation Operators. Kantara-Accredited Assessors perform Assessments of Credential Service Providers based on the Kantara Initiative Identity Assurance Framework and provide a Kantara Assessment Report (KAR) to the Kantara Initiative Assurance Review Board (ARB). The ARB then makes its recommendations to the Board of Trustees concerning the granting of Kantara-approved service status based on the KAR. The Certification Program assesses applicants against strict criteria according to the Level of Assurance desired to be attained, and grants to candidates of the program the right to use the Kantara Initiative Mark, a symbol of trustworthy identity and credential management services at specified Assurance Levels. The results of this certification program are maintained electronically on the Kantara Initiative website in the Kantara Initiative Trust Status List, which lists both approved services and accredited assessors. Kantara Initiative is pleased to begin work with eValid8. The Kantara Initiative Identity Assurance Accreditation and Certification program is now accepting Credential Service Provider applications for Certification. Please address queries regarding the Identity Assurance Accreditation and Certification Program to staff[at]kantarainitiative[dot]org or via our Contact Us form. eValid8 are a certified IT auditing firm and recognized as a leader in the field of identity management, IT auditing, privacy impact assessment, and regulatory compliance. ________________________ 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
