Liberty Alliance releases ID-WSF 2.0: more scenarios required

Last week, the Liberty Alliance announced the final version of its Identity Web Services Framework (ID-WSF) – I briefly touched on ID-WSF back in April when discussing Liberty’s approach to user-centric identity. I have to admit, I have always struggled to get my head around ID-WSF, which Liberty defines as providing:

the framework for building interoperable identity services, permission based attribute sharing, identity service description and discovery and the associated security profiles

Liberty has used a variety of resources, from marketing requirements documents to webinars, to help others facing a similar predicament. I put these resources to good use and finally got to the bottom of identity services, permission based attribute sharing and what these might mean in business terms. For all the details take a look here.
