Concordia Project Workshop: on Interoperability and Harmonization of Different Identity Standards and Protocols ...

I’d like to bring to your attention the upcoming Concordia Project Workshop (June 26, San Francisco, Burton Catalyst pre-conference session 2007):
“This workshop is aimed at defining and understanding deployer needs with regards to interoperability and harmonization of different identity standards and protocols. The workshop is organized on the premise that there is a spectrum that exists in the marketplace across consumer desire (open vs private), business drivers (low risk transactions vs high risk transactions), regulatory impact (little vs much), implementation cost (low cost vs high cost), etc. End deployers, which currently include AOL, Boeing, General Motors, the Government of British Columbia, and the US General Services Administration (GSA), will present real world use case presentations to help define and develop marketplace drivers, which include:

People
• Authentication
• Personalization
• Privacy control

Services and applications
• Delegation
• Unification
• Access control

Organizations
• Secure outsourcing
• Reduce costs
• Privacy Control”

Additional information is available online.
