There is a new draft charter in the works for a proposed Kantara Group focused on Cloud Identity Security. Kantara Participant Neil McEvoy is in process of starting up a new Kantara Initiative working group, called ‘CloudIDsec‘ – Cloud Identity and Security Best Practices.
Neil
describes this version as having a Canadian flavour because i) he's in
Canada, and ii) a key part of the R&D agenda includes a focus on
where these Identity standards including Kantara overlap with their
evolving set for Cloud Computing too, specifically the GC Community Cloud set.
For example for their core standards for identity authentication ITSG-31 here the Government of Canada has also standardized on and contributed to Kantara. Their specific implementation is defined in this document. (53-page PDF).
