http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/uma/UMA+telecon+2016-03-10 MinutesDiscussion of Kantara's new organizational structure Is this new structure of any concern? It seems not; it's a mark of Kantara's growth and maturity. APAC-friendly meeting series Eve will reach out to those likely most affected if the series is changed to see if those people would mind if she offers ad hoc syncs instead. Roll call Quorum was not reached. Approve minutes Approve minutes of UMA telecon 2016-02-25 <http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/uma/UMA+telecon+2016-02-25>: APPROVED Updates from recent meetings and events *IAPP Canada:* John W was approached by an IAPP Canada organizer about doing a technical presentation, and he reached out to Andrew Hughes to help put together a panel on UMA, so as to inject more interesting technicality into the proceedings. John and Eve will sync on getting some good UMA slide fodder. 40% of the IAPP is made up of lawyers, so they'll have to go for the right level. We're looking at leveraging this into another opportunity at IAPP/CSA's "Privacy. Security. Risk." event in September. Yesterday's APAC-friendly meeting had a big focus on IAPP Canada preparations. *RSA:* Eve and Josh Alexander presented, and Eve got to spend a few minutes on UMA in the talk. She has been hearing repeatedly that UMA has been coming up in "third-party" conversations she isn't in. [image: (smile)] She has die-cut stickers to give UMAnitarians, and they got snapped up at RSA. She also had interesting side conversations about health, energy, other use cases for UMA (relevant tweet <https://twitter.com/IdentityHutch/status/705827488388100098>). *HIMSS:* Not a lot of UMA-related news. Justin gave an overview to the Argonaut and FHIR project folks, and it came up in conversation a few times. Adrian observes that they don't know of any pilots. François notes that he doesn't know of pilots either. Delegation is the key unique use case, where patients can delegate access. *Btc Expo:* Adrian heard some interesting avenues there. Andi has been hearing blockchain/UMA opportunities. *CIS:* Andi notes that there is a distributed ledger/blockchain track, and a privacy track as well. Everyone please register and book hotel rooms ASAP! (And don't forget to sign up for IIW <http://eventbrite.com/e/internet-identity-workshop-xxii-22-2016a-tickets-19…> .) Why UMA? Eve has asked Domenico (our UX and graphics editor!) to put together some material for our wiki to highlight the "Why?" of UMA for businesses as an important audience. He will share his research on the list. Eve would like to ask everyone to contribute new "collateral" to this area. The impetus was Robert asking Eve for use cases, and our finding that our Case Studies page doesn't suffice. Mike asks that we present Enterprise UMA more prominently as this is an easier sell than privacy. Therefore, Mike should contribute content. What about Pedro's use case? *AI:* Eve: Approach Pedro at Red Hat about their use case. A barrier is lack of libraries, including RS support. In fact, this has just come up on the UMA Dev list, and this is the exact purpose of the UMA Dev WG, right down to putting the emphasis on the RS. Eve also likes how Nat had published an easy Hello, World OIDC client app on his blog to show everyone how small and easy it could be. There are lots of great ways other than (boring?) slideware to document and persuade about UMA: - Pumpkin security theater - John is big on putting together an interactive whiteboard why-and-how presentation - A music video <https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7aQF7z4Xp_yQVcxLUdiZzlLUVk> (this one is about privacy generally, from RSAC) - Other ideas <http://opencreds.org/> for presentation Issue 239 The main issue in the extension spec <http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/KantaraInitiative/wg-uma/b…> is whether it can coexist with the main spec or whether it "stomps on" the main spec. This likely affects the extension spec title, several instances of language, and the configuration data design – it should probably invent a new endpoint that exists alongside the original endpoint. Coexistence would dictate changing our previous consensus about seeing little reason to deploy the "unenhanced" claims-gathering mechanism. Reasons for coexistence would be backwards compatibility with the existing UMA spec(s), and we still could make arguments for someone having a specialized environment that does claims-gathering and doesn't really need the enhancement. Note that the old endpoint would be marked for eventual deprecation and disabling. An important question is whether it's even possible to not support the old endpoint. George argues for it to be possible for an AS not to support the "old" endpoint on security grounds. And in fact, this could be very clean because you just don't support the "claims-gathering method" as offered by regular UMA. And now there's a draft non-normative companion doc <http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/uma/Understanding+the+Sessi…>. Eve's thinking is that all vulnerabilities found in protocols such as this should come with docs like this as a kind of FAQ. *AI:* Eve: Ask the WG about one more ad hoc meeting early next week to see about finalizing decisions on spec text so we can close out the issue next week and publish. Attendees As of 18 Feb 2016, quorum is 6 of 11. (François, Domenico, Kathleen, Sal, Thomas, Andi, Robert, Maciej, Eve, Mike, Sarah) 1. François 2. Domenico 3. Andi 4. Robert 5. Maciej 6. Eve 7.

Why UMA for Business
by Domenico Catalano 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Hi all, I've researched a little bit about "Why Business needs UMA”. In attach a draft presentation, where I've gathered some ideas extracted and elaborated from the following resources: Customer Data: designing for transparency and trust <https://hbr.org/2015/05/customer-data-designing-for-transparency-and-trust> Social Physics and the data driven society <http://sites.nationalacademies.org/cs/groups/pgasite/documents/webpage/pga_…> New deal on Data <http://civics.com/NewDealOnData/> Extreme Trust <http://www.extremetrustbook.com/excerpt.html> The logic flow of the presentation is as follow (Know Why, Know How, Then What :-) WHY (Business Driver) Explosion of Digital technologies produces a vast quantities of data. Consumers appreciate data sharing if it can lead to products and services that make their life easer… Example (Nest, Medtronic, UBER) How social network can Make us smarter (Social Physics research by Pentland helps us to understand how idea flow from person to person through the mechanism of social learning and ends up shaping the norms, productivity and create output for companies, cities and societies). Business needs to use personal data to create best services and products, or for creating new stream of revenue. CHALLENGES Risk of Abuse increases tension and reduces the trust between consumers and companies. HOW Towards an Extreme Trust as competitive advantage New Deal on Data: approach that build trust Examples (Facebook beacon, Metadistretti e-monitor) WHAT User Managed Access: Business Value Proposition Template Target personas (template) Use Case (template) I hope it help for future extensions. Thanks. Domenico

Reviewing our issue #239 materials and considering a new mitigation idea
by Eve Maler 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

Maciej has prepared a new version of the extension spec, and it's now on GitHub <http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/KantaraInitiative/wg-uma/b…>. And thanks to input from Sarah, I've put together a companion non-normative document on the UMA wiki <http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/uma/Understanding+the+Sessi…> . In writing the final part of the companion document, I started thinking about a potential new mitigation idea when it came to describing why strong authentication *after* claims-gathering wouldn't work: I suddenly wasn't sure that strong auth doesn't work in all circumstances. *N.B.:* With this inquiry, note that my goal isn't to delay getting the word out about this whole thing! It's simply to consider any mitigation that might be reasonable, and discard it expeditiously if it doesn't fit. So I'm hoping we can examine it in our call and: a) reject it as unsuitable, b) reject it as technically suitable but failing some other criterion, or c) accept it as an alternate or additional mitigation. So here goes. Given the following: - The cycle of trust elevation (need_info) is repeatable, according to AS needs. (Which gives an interestingly flexible mechanism.) - Only trust elevation that uses the requesting party claims endpoint is susceptible to session fixation. ...I started wondering whether it *might* be viable to suggest the following as a mitigation: - The policy conditions include both some claim(s) being supplied and, *afterward*, Bob being able to authenticate, to some level of strength, as Bob. (That is, there is a certain authentication_context and identity required, whether explicitly in an error_details hint, or implicitly. Currently we only have an in-band way to indicate authentication hints, not the required identity.) Notice that a precondition for the attack is that Eve and Bob each have their own AATs, even though their clients have identical client IDs; this gives a hook for transaction context differentiation. The theory is that, if Eve were to initiate the session, phish Bob to gather his credentials, and then take over again after he's done, Eve would fail the second policy condition because she can't authenticate as Bob -- unless she also stole his credentials, and that's a different attack entirely. And if Bob started the session legitimately, then of course Eve missed her chance to phish him and he can pass the strong-auth trust elevation test himself. Recall that elevating trust through authentication_context is basically like refreshing/strengthening the AAT. If anyone wants to squeeze identity out of an AAT, it's best to use OIDC vs. plain OAuth for it. My investigations showed that using an AAT for trust elevation is not unknown -- in fact, it's known to both Gluu and ForgeRock, in cases where you expect the AS to serve as the IdP for the requesting party as well as the resource owner. I suspect there may be privacy considerations to doing this in other topologies that should be carefully examined -- such as, could a requesting party's "AAT identity" compromise him somehow if it is used as part of trust elevation in addition to "claims-based RqP identity" at the AS? I thought this was incontrovertibly true once, but I haven't been able to re-prove it to myself... That's probably enough/too much food for thought for now, from me. I know others will want to jump into the thread before the meeting with more. *Eve Maler*Cell +1 425.345.6756 | Skype: xmlgrrl | Twitter: @xmlgrrl

*Eve Maler*Cell +1 425.345.6756 | Skype: xmlgrrl | Twitter: @xmlgrrl ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mark Lizar - OCG <m.lizar(a)openconsentgroup.com> Date: Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 12:59 PM Subject: [KI-LC] Real (and Open) Consent Workshop Announcement To: Kantara Leadership Council Kantara <lc(a)kantarainitiative.org> Hi LC, FYI - Please pass on. *** Dear Colleagues, I am very happy to announce the the next workshop in our year long series of events on Consent & Design at Digital Catapult in London. *We would like to invite you to attend on March 21, from 10am to 4pm.* Here is a link to sign up and more information: <https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/real-consent-consent-design-tickets-22274347…> *As we are all aware consent as it currently managed online is broken and doesn’t provide people real consent. * The next workshop in the series is mapping the landscape of Consent & Design. We will be hosting some industry speakers, mapping design elements, then delving into how design aspects effect the metrics of usable consent. A topic well discussed in our first workshop <https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8484951/8484951-6111199357825007621>. The event series aims to produce a Real Consent Cookbook *for implementation, design and evaluation *of modern consent. *We will also focus on topics such as consent trust metrics, and how real consent can hep to build trust frameworks*. *We are also open to hear your suggestion in this space. If you have a topic you would like to see covered in our upcoming discussion, please let us know. * We invite you to (re) join a new LinkedIn Group <https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8484951>, specific to Real Consent topic. (to keep discussion going between workshops) Which is where you can find a summary of the last workshop. Planned Workshops: March 21: Consent & Design May 27: Trust & Consent Sept 26: Consent & Design Metrics We are proudly sponsored by the @Kantaranews and @DigitalCatapult #PDT - but we are still looking for sponsorship of the cookbook and the lunch at the workshops. If you are interested in either or both please get in touch.

Interesting indeed. In the WG call yesterday, we talked about focusing on four UMA topics at IIW, and one of them was our legal "model text" work. I would love to learn more about how these domains are used in practice, and see where the business-legal frictions might come into play if they were used as authorization servers. *Eve Maler*Cell +1 425.345.6756 | Skype: xmlgrrl | Twitter: @xmlgrrl On Sat, Feb 20, 2016 at 9:23 AM, Phillip J.

Notes from UMA legal telecon 2016-02-25
by Eve Maler 26 Feb '16

http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/uma/UMA+legal+subgroup+notes 2016-02-26 - Resource owners and those acting on their behalf: what language do we need to support the distinction? Any additional use cases? Any additional insight on technical design patterns? - We said we'd try to conclude this decision-making process by this week, and then move on to the decisions about RS actions in contradiction. Attending: Eve, Adrian, Ann, Andrew, Mark, Sal, Kathleen, John Kathleen had summarized it in our WG call yesterday that this is an "owner" and an "on behalf of" problem. Adrian asks: Is it clear that there need to be separate credentials for these two roles (something like subject and custodian)? Kathleen's work at HL7 includes three roles: the *subject* of consent directive (of governed information), the *grantor* (the consentor who grants access), and the *grantee* (the one to whom access is delegated). Eve is familiar with a project where UMA is being contemplated where subject and delegate are the terms used, where she suspects (*subject* +*grantor*) and *grantee* map perfectly onto Kathleen's terms, and she knows they map exactly onto UMA's *RO* and *RqP* terms. Let's put the "third term" aside since it seems there's no controversy about the mappings (for the moment), and concentrate on the "split RO" nature of the use cases in front of us. Do we have to distinguish "who logs in to the AS" vs. "who logs in to the RS only"? Adrian asks: In our use cases from last week, are there separate credentials? We need to know the exact UMA design pattern we're looking at to know the answer, because otherwise the specific identity ecosystem in place is unknown. Andrew suggests: Is the question really about whether the RSO cares who the ASO is? Let's say a hospital IT department is the RSO and the healthcare insurer (Eve adds: or EHR SaaS vendor or government agency or whatever...) is the ASO. Going back to the key issue: Adrian presumes that the AS presents a certificate and the RS gets to look at that certificate and see if it trusts it. But Eve points out this is off-track for the subject of this call. Any AS cert is for the whole AS. Let's return to (*subject*+*grantor* ). Regarding the terms coming from HL7, FHIR is taking this nomenclature work even farther. Eve wonders: Could subject and grantor suffice as terms for us, even if the subject isn't even literally the data/PII subject? Like, e.g., what if the "subject" created the digital artwork that is being sold and the grantor is managing access to the painting on behalf of the subject because they're no longer legally competent to be party to contracts? In health, a donor or cadaver might not be donating data, but body parts! (?) The current theory/hope is that *Subject* could be a good new term for the "true resource owner" who might not be legally competent or might not be in a position to manage resource access at the AS. (Note that "control" is the verb we use on the UMA marvelous spiral architecture diagram to denote what the RO does at the AS.) If we need to get more specific in any of our model clauses regarding resources that truly contain PII, perhaps we need to clarify in the definition that UMA allows for resources not to contain PII, and then define a more specific term, *Data Subject* or *PII Subject* or *Resource Subject* (as discussed in notes below), specifically for resources that do contain it. (Do we also have to define the term *Resource* and/or *Protected Resource* in our model definitions?) More current theory/hope: *Grantor* could be a good new term for the "guardian" of a legally incompetent Subject, or designated "proxy"/"agent" for a legally competent Subject, who exclusively manages resource access at the AS on their behalf. [Added after the call:] Eve's theory about the UMA design pattern in this case is this: The Grantor is the *only one* that interacts with the AS (e.g., logs in there, creates policies, etc.) If the Subject is capable of managing resources in an online fashion ("manage" is the verb we use on the UMA marvelous spiral architecture diagram to denote what the RO does at the RS, but also the verb we use to denote what the RqP does at the client), then in fact what could happen is that the Grantor sets up policies for the Subject to become an RqP to their own resources, accessing them through RS-that-is-also-a-C, and requiring that the Subject use the same AS as the Grantor to enable full Grantor oversight capabilities. (This is a known limitation due to #wideeco realities.) More current theory/hope: We could replace *Authorizing Party* with Subject and Grantor. More current theory/hope: *Grantee* could be a good new term for Requesting Party. *AI:* Kathleen: Share HL7-based definitions of subject and grantor (and grantee) with UMA WG so we can try out definitions for our own purposes. (ISO standard basis for the definition – what is the ISO number? -- can't be shared because they're not free standards.) *AI:* Adrian: Work with Kathleen to capture the "joint control" of painting resource example and share with the list. *AI:* Eve: Add GitHub issues for the new model definition ideas. *Eve Maler*Cell +1 425.345.6756 | Skype: xmlgrrl | Twitter: @xmlgrrl
