Another government example: I've been working on identity attribute data standards for the Province of British Columbia, the western-most province of Canada. I helped write this reference model about identity attributes about people and their relationships with others in a government context. http://www.cio.gov.bc.ca/local/cio/standards/documents/standards/identity_in... I wrote this standard on an initial set of attributes (claims) about 2 years ago, with the intention to use them across SAML2, WS-Federation or IMI protocols. http://www.cio.gov.bc.ca/local/cio/standards/documents/standards/claims_info... Sometime in the next year I hope to put out an update with more attributes that my team is working on. We are currently developing our solution that implements our models and standards. We are going to start issuing new chip-enabled driver licence smartcards to our citizens later this year. We are building the underlying infrastructure now, which will include (SAML) identity provider interfaces issuing these identity attributes. You can read a bit more in this recent news article: http://www.timescolonist.com/touch/story.html?id=6067010 Of course the news article doesn't describe exactly what we're up to, but for those of you in the identity management field, you should be able to read between the lines. To take it one more step further, our solution and standards developed in British Columbia are proposed to be used across Canada, in other provinces. Sorry I haven't participated much in this working group yet. I'm here, listening, but have been quite busy working on our internal identity management projects.
