Piscataway, NJ, 14 September, 2010 – Kantara Initiative announced today its fifth Annual Identity Deployment of the Year (IDDY) Awards event which will take place at the 2011 RSA Conference in San Francisco on February 14. Formerly awarded by the Liberty Alliance, the IDDY Awards is the identity management industry’s first event to recognize individuals and organizations for developing and deploying outstanding digital identity management solutions.

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

Internet Identity Workshop - East Coast #1 in Washington DC, USA September 9-10, 2010
by Dervla O'Reilly 23 Aug '10

23 Aug '10

We invite you to participate in the Internet Identity Workshop - East Coast #1 in Washington DC, USA September 9-10, 2010. Registration: http://iiweast.eventbrite.com/ Early bird registration ends this Wednesday, August 25. A special 20% discount is available off the regular rate (except student) - please contact Dervla O'Reilly, dervla[at]kantarainitiative[dot]org for further details. Theme: Open Identity for Open Government How does it work? After the brief introduction on the first day, there are no formal presentations, no keynotes and no panels. After introductions we start with a blank wall and, in less than an hour, with a facilitator guiding the process attendees create a full day, multi-track conference agenda that is relevant and inspiring to everyone there. All are welcome to put forward presentations and propose conversations. We do this in part because the field is moving so rapidly that it doesn’t make sense to predetermine the presentation schedule months before the event. We do know great people who will be there and it is the attendees who have a passion to learn and contribute to the event that will make it. The event compiles a book of proceedings with all the notes from the conference. Here are the proceedings from IIW7, IIW8, IIW9 & IIW10. BTW these three documents are your key to convincing your employer that this event will be valuable. Conference fee covers all meeting meals - lunch Thursday and Friday, dinner Thursday evening. Details on all IIW events are located here: http://www.internetidentityworkshop.com/ Cheers, Dervla ________________________ 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
