Subject: [WG-HealthIDAssurance] ONE-ID as a Service

Hi folks

I have just joined the Health ID Assurance and Business Case for Federations groups.

By way of introduction I am in process of starting a new Kantara WG - Cloud Identity and Security Best Practices, which will focus on the overlap between Kantara programs and Cloud Computing. As part of this I'm looking to define partnering relationships to the other WG's, and here's my initial suggestion for doing so below:

I'm working with EHealth Ontario, where they have their own similar program called 'ONE ID' - http://www.ehealthontario.on.ca/programs/one_id.asp

So I'd like to propose to them:

- How the Kantara Health ID program could be applied in this scenario to implement a Federated Identity system

- Via a first step of documenting the business case for doing so

The main output from the Kantara Cloud group will be to define how the Kantara standards can be implemented via 'IDaaS' - Identity as a Service, and so this exercise will then further clarify how it could be applied for this industry requirement, so creating 'ONE ID as a Service'.

Let me know thoughts and ideas for how best to move this forward,

Thanks and regards,
