“As the competitive edge of the global economy is shifting to “services” delivered over the Internet, we need a way of making identity available on-demand to the services in an open, scalable, and secure manner. Identity for services is a holistic concern that must satisfy technology, regulatory and business needs for existing and emerging markets, such as Software as a Service (SaaS) and Service Oriented Architectures (SOA). Identity services should introduce consistency, efficiency and scalability in IT infrastructures built on the Internet to form the new “identity layer”. Also, it should be easy for developers to incorporate identity services as part of distributed application logic.
To fully achieve the potential benefits of identity managed as a set of services, such as cost-effectiveness and shorter deployment times, several security and privacy challenges must be addressed. Such challenges arise because of the complex and distributed systems across different organizations involved in identity service offerings. The goal of the workshop is to lay the foundation and agenda for further research and development in this area. Under the broad umbrella of “Services and Identity”, we encourage both researchers and practitioners to participate and submit papers on topics including, but not limited to the following:
- Identity management for SaaS
- SOA for identity
- Scalability issues in identity management
- Resilient identity service provisioning
- Dynamic mutual trust negotiation
- SLA for identity services
- Identity based access control
- Migration to identity services
- Identity service discovery
- Virtual directories
- Identity management process assurance
- Identity life-cycle
- Externalization of identity
- Risk management for identity
- Identity oracles
- Translation and resolution of namespaces
- Network transport as a service
- Privacy and hosted services
- Mobile identities
- Balance between de-centralization of identity and centralization of controls
- Privacy preservation during orchestration of services in multiple domains”
