Hello Joni (and the Kantara commnity).
Ummm... I'm not from the US (I'm Australian), and my thoughts on "the
internet of *things*" have thus far not curried much resonance with people
in general. Also, my concepts have still to yield anything demonstrable.
Hence, I'm reluctant to contribute directly to conferences and other
requests for input. But I will write this message.
I'd like to perhaps suggest that the term "things" be replaced with
"individuals". I believe an internet of individuals is the ultimate
destination for the internet as it evolves to be a medium through which
individual presence is not only projected, but is also manifest. In an
internet of individuals, every component (every "thing" or "device") is
used by, and indeed, is used to manifest individual presence. In this
vision, every router, switch, node and any other well defined contraption
of any type that can exchange state (a device) with any other device will
be directed by and accountable to the intentions of individual wills that
compose them.
This vision requires a system that projects individual presence in such
devices. I believe that my Clique Space concept is such a system. As far as
I am aware, Clique Space is the only concept that has any chance of turning
this internet of things into its ultimate expression as an internet of
individuals,
Development continues, and I hope one day soon(ish) to be able to
demonstrate that the Clique Space basic infrastructure (Agent Devices which
collaborate to exchange information about other devices operating through
other media) works. I would love some help in getting my proof-of-concept
done quicker, so I post this letter here as an attempt to garner interest.
I'd welcome anyone's comment.
Owen.

Dear Kantara Community,
Recently Kantara Initiative Trustees, Members and Participants provided their international and industry expertise to develop a brief response to a call for input by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) [1] regarding privacy and security implications of the Internet of Things (IoT). Pervasive implementation the IoT, and access control of associated data, will have significant implications with regard to Identity Management use cases and beyond. Kantara Initiative intends to address these implications through its network of experts and programs.
The full response can be read on our Kantara blog [2]. We thank our stakeholders for their excellent input and we're looking forward to a workshop focusing on IoT that is being planned by FTC for the fall 2013.
Please feel free to share the response with interested parties. We are very interested to hear feedback that can be shared on this list or via our contact form [3].
