A great identity management resource
For those of you grappling with the the fast moving world of identity management, you could do a lot worse than cast your eyes over
Doc Searls article
over at the Linux Journal. It provides a great summary of the work of
Kim Cameron (glowing praise - completely justified - for Microsoft in Linux Journal!), the
Identity Commons team, Dick Hardt at
Sxip (whose
presentation from the 2005 OSCON is also highly recommended) and numerous others on the
identity metasystem, the
7 laws of identity and the role of a variety of WS-* standards. It also provides insight into the relationship with a number of the grass roots, open source identity initiatives. Thanks Doc.
