The Kantara Initiative is
expanding its focus beyond SAML 2.0 and is working to cultivate and manage new
certification programs covering a broad spectrum of developing identity and
access protocols. Some of the emerging standards currenlty under
consideration for testing are:
·
WS–Trust
·
WS–Security
·
OpenID
·
InfoCard
·
Oauth
·
XRD
To
support the development of the new test procedures needed for this program, the
Kantara Initiative is announcing the formation of the Kantara Initiative
Interoperability Work Group (IOPWG) - chartered to support the Kantara
Initiative Interoperability Program through the development of Test Procedures
to be used by the Interoperability Review Board, regardless of
protocol. The IOPWG will work closely with the Interoperability
Review Board (IRB), the Kantara Initiative sub-committee responsible for member
oversight of the Interoperability Program.
In
addition, the IOPWG will be available to provide expertise and technical
support to the IRB during the course of any of the Kantara Initiative
Interoperability events, and will assist in resolving questions of protocol
interpretation that may arise among test participants.
If
you'd like to get involved in the Kantara Initiative Interoperability Program
to recommend test procedures for such emerging standards as WS–Trust,
WS–Security. OpenID, InfoCard, Oauth and XRD, the IOPWG is the group for
you!
