Hi all,

During todays meeting (minutes here) we discussed further refinements for the Dart- Board-Model, especially on the 'upper layer' which deals with Identity Management topics only, while relying on the lower three layers for operation,implementation,planning.

Our next goal is to 'slice the cake', to find sublevels to the four TopLevels we decided to start with so far. The sublevels mentioned below (in green) are just examples.

The best case scenario for this would be to find four generic terms within each of the TopLevels.

• Identification
  Processes around validating identities (digital or physical) and as the 'entry'/'leave' point on a given domain.This does NOT deal with Authentication!
  
• Proof/Verification
• Register
• De-Register
• Data Portability (Transfer)
• Management
  Processes around the management of Identity Data
  
• Enrollment
• Dis-Enrollment
• Privacy
  
• Federation
  
• Authorization
  Processes related to Authorization
  
• ...
  
• ...
• ...
• ...
• Authentication
  Processes related to Authentication
  
• 
  
• ...
• ...
• ...

Finally, to check the validity of the model, we will investigate typical IAM-Topics if we are able to find appropriate paths to describe the given topic in the model.

here is a quick example on how I think this model could be applied (example used: 'Identity Provider')

• Function of an 'Identity Provider'
• Needs to offer functions from 'Identification' to
  
• validate a given Identity against real or other digital data
• Following Process ABC
  
• using technology XYZ
• ...further definitions on the lower layers (Operations, implementations,planning)
  
• (do we need to add a layer for legal aspects?)
• Management
• ...
• Authorization
• ...
• Authentication
• ...

So the Task (especially for those who gave their commitment to the BoK/Taxonomy) is to

• Find propper sublevels as described above
• exercise typical usecases from the IDM World against the model
  

Thanks in advance,

for the BoK-Subgroup
