Interesting ideas and comments from Igor Zboran -------- Original Message -------- Subject: User-Managed Communications Date: 2016-04-20 15:02 From: "Igor Zboran" <izboran@gmail.com> To: <mike@gluu.org> Hello Mike, It has been a while since I was active on the UMA WG. Most recently, I worked as a solutions architect on Privacy Box project for one big customer Orange SK, which is a Slovak mobile network operator. Privacy Box is a secure data storage built on the top of the Identity-Based Privacy [1] trusted model. During my work I was trying to evangelize OAuth2/UMA all the time but without any significant success. It was rather disappointing for me. Gradually, I've realized that there is a marketplace for User-Managed THIS AND THAT built on the top of the OAuth2 protocol. Getting it understood I've started to look at the UMA from a wider perspective. Then the idea of User-Managed Communications (UMC) Platform came up. It is a platform that brings together people, processes, data, and things in an intelligent, manageable and secure manner. You can find the basic info here: https://token7.com [2]. From my point of view, the most valuable UMC Platform feature is the federation support. You can find more info here: https://github.com/token-7/token7-specs/blob/master/draft-token7-oauth-token... [3]. Just imagine it - with UMC Platform anybody can be a 'communications provider' on their own. Not for voice services but for various Internet of Everything services. Feel free to ask me anything if you are interested in UMC Platform. For the time being I prefer written communication because I am not fluent in spoken English.
