Kantara Community, The Kantara Initiative is pleased to announce the formation of the Kantara Initiative Federation Interoperability Work Group (FIWG). The purpose of this Work Group is to profile existing specifications to define an interoperable trust infrastructure for use by parties participating in Trust Frameworks. This will allow entities to determine the certification status and configuration parameters of entities outside of their local federation.
