Resignation
by Roger Sullivan 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Colleagues, I informed the Board of Trustees this morning that I will be resigning my position with Oracle at the end of April. Consequently, I will step down as President of Kantara as of that date. Per the Kantara Bylaws, Matthew Gardiner, Kantara Vice President will assume the Presidency. This is a personal decision for which I've been planning for some time. I'm looking forward to spending more time with grandchildren, furniture building, golf, Cape Cod history, etc., etc. It's been a real pleasure and honor to work with you all during my time with Liberty Alliance and Kantara Initiative. I wish you all the best success in the future. Best regards, -- HYPERLINK "http://www.oracle.com/" \nOracle Roger Sullivan | Vice President Phone: +1 781 744 0767 | Mobile: +1 978 828 3520 Oracle Identity Management 10 Van de Graaff Drive | Burlington, MA 01803 HYPERLINK "http://www.oracle.com/commitment" \nGreen Oracle Oracle is committed to developing practices and products that help protect the environment

Clique Space - an appeal for business support.
by Owen Thomas 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Hello people of the Kantara Initiative general community. I have been lurking here for some time. I have previously contributed. I have also been working on something that I have called Clique Space. My previous contributions to this mailing list have been in relation to this idea. I am now making a similar contribution. Clique Space models the real-time collaborative activity of individuals over any collaborative media one has engaged. While its ultimate implementation and general uptake is very ambitious, its core concept is so simple that I thought there was a buck to be made out of it. With this thought, I registered the concept as a PCT. The PCT will apparently expire in most jurisdictions on 15 July this year. I knew that the idea could never be realised by myself alone, but with a patent, I thought I might be in a position to elicit business support while also giving myself a chance of receiving recognition. Realising that such an ambitious concept may require a lot of work by many individuals, I would be more than willing to discuss an equitable quid-pro-quo that would see me receive some consideration for it as the concepts inventor. Up to now, I haven't been terribly successful at selling this idea possibly because I appear not to be the best at selling things. The PCT expiration date is looming, and I certainly do not have nearly enough available finance to cover national phase registration. So, with this letter, you are observing me as someone doing their utmost to give the idea its best chance of success before it falls out of his grasp and before it loses any prospect of being sellable. I think this concept is particularly versatile and useful; its necessary place in the world of identity management will inevitably become clear to others. So, I here appeal to anyone who reads this letter, and who is in a position particularly to offer financial support to get the patent over the hill of national phase registration, to respond to this email, or to call me directly on +61 401 493 433. I believe that you would not be doing yourself any harm in talking to me about any possibility of engagement. To give you the best idea of what Clique Space is meant to be, you should have a look at the bottom-most link I supply in my email signature below. I have plenty more material that I can share, so I believe I can answer most questions you may have. Thank you for your time and for your consideration, Owen. -- Radical collocation: look, just stop it!

Call for papers: The Sixth ACM Workshop on Digital Identity Management
by Kenji Takahashi 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

Dear colleagues, Just an FYI. Kenji -- The Sixth ACM Workshop on Digital Identity Management October 8, 2010, Chicago, IL, USA. Collocated with ACM CCS 2010 http://www2.pflab.ecl.ntt.co.jp/dim2010 http://www.sigsac.org/ccs/CCS2010/ Important dates * Paper submissions due : June 28, 2010 * Notification to the authors : August 6, 2010 * Camera ready papers due : August 16, 2010 (Firm deadline) * DIM Workshop : October 8, 2010 (CCS Conference : October 4 – 10, 2010) The Digital Identity Management Workshop brings together academia and industry to explore all aspects of identity management. Identity management is an endeavor to make identities available to humans, services, and systems in a secure and privacy-protecting manner. Currently we are facing grand challenges, such as financial and ecological crises, which require global collaboration. Best exemplified in the cloud computing and smart grid movement, ICT-enabled infrastructures are playing a crucial role in facilitating global collaboration for economic and ecological advancement. Such infrastructures must incorporate identity management capabilities that allow individuals and organizations to identify and trust each other over networks in a scalable and reliable manner, while striking the best balance between usability, security, and privacy. The goal of this workshop is to share new findings and ideas, discover key issues, and seek opportunities for active collaboration between industry and academia. The workshop seeks submissions from diverse communities, such as open source projects, standardization fora, government organizations, security and privacy experts, software engineers, and corporate & academic researchers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Identity management for cloud computing * Identity management for critical infrastructure (e.g., smart grid) * Identity assurance * Identity governance * Attribute aggregation * Identity in service-oriented architecture (SOA) * Anonymity and pseudonymity * Accountability in identity management * Identity management APIs * Identity management in ubiquitous and mobile computing * Reputation and incentive systems, and reputation management * Privacy-enhanced identity management * Identity solutions for specific areas (e.g., healthcare, government, education, and telecommunications) * Identity-based access control * Identity discovery * Identity theft prevention * User-centric identity management * User experience models and integrity * Standardization of IDM and policies thereof, standards harmonization * Case studies and lessons from large scale deployment * Vulnerabilities, threat analysis and risk assessment of IDM solutions (e.g., threat of malware affecting identity theft) * Analysis of differences between requirements for consumer and enterprise IDM ________________________ Submission Instructions Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers should be at most 10 pages, using at least 10.5-point font and reasonable margins on A4 or US letter-size paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch). Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so submissions should be intelligible without them. Each submission should start with the title, abstract, and names and contact information of authors. The introduction should give background and summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. _______________________ === Organizing Committee === Co-chairs * Thomas Groß, IBM Research, Switzerland * Kenji Takahashi, NTT, Japan ________________________ === Program Committee === * Gail-Joon Ahn, Arizona State University, USA * Abhilasha Bhargav-Spantzel, Intel, USA * Hu Bin, Huawei Technologies, USA * Federica Paci, University of Trento, Italy * Jan Camenisch, IBM Research, Switzerland * Marco Casassa Mont, HP Labs, UK * David Chadwick, University of Kent, UK * Chihung Chi, Tsinghua University, China * Hidehito Gomi, Yahoo!

US Time Change
by J. Trent Adams 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

All - As a reminder, the US shifted it's clocks over the weekend to reflect Daylight Savings Time. I'm guessing that most of you know this already, but I'm also betting that most haven't double-checked their call schedules... ... so, you might want to take this opportunity to double-check your calendar to ensure it accurately reflects the time change. In case it helps, here's a good tool for converting time between locations based on dates: http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedform.html Cheers, Trent -- J.
