The Future of Identity in the Cloud: Requirements, Risks and Opportunities

I am preparing my presentation, called “The Future of Identity in the Cloud: Requirements, Risks and Opportunities” (http://www.opengroup.org/london2009-spc/mont.htm) for the coming Open Group Security Practitioners Conference, London, 27 April 2009.

In particular I am very keen in discussing current models and architectures underpinning both Cloud Computing and Identity in the Cloud, along with discussions of risks, issues and (users’ and organisations’) requirements.

This is a good opportunity to get additional input from this community, in particular related to Identity in the Cloud, if you have specific concerns, issues or you would like to share requirements.
