SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- 10/18/07 --
Burton Group, an IT research firm
focused on in-depth analysis of enterprise IT infrastructure, is hosting a
user-centric identity interoperability demonstration in conjunction with
Open Source Identity System (OSIS), an identity commons working group. The
demonstration will take place at
Catalyst
Conference Europe in Barcelona, Spain on 23 October, 2007 from 6:00 to
9:30 pm.
The event signifies the intent of multiple identity management focused
vendors and project groups to demonstrate the interoperability required for
a universally accepted user-centric identity framework, which addresses the
need for a synchronized and harmonized identity management system for the
Internet.
Participants include identity projects such as Bandit Project, Eclipse
Higgins Project, Internet2 Shibboleth Project, The Pamela Project, Ian
Brown (OpenInfoCard), XMLDAP, Yadis, OpenID, LID, WSO2 Identity Solution,
OpenXRI, SourceID, SignOn.com, and SocialPhysics. Companies participating
in this event include ATE Software, Cordance, CA, Fraunhofer Institute,
FuGen Solutions, IBM, JanRain, LinkSafe, Microsoft, NetMesh, Novell, Nulli
Secundus, Oracle, Parity, Ping Identity, Siemens, Sun Microsystems, Sxip
Identity, ThoughtWorks, VeriSign, and WSO2.
User-centric identity management focuses on user empowerment in sharing
personal information and self-determination in establishing relationships
with relying parties. The primary approaches behind the user-centric model
are identifier-based (such as OpenID) and information card (such as
CardSpace) systems, plus other supporting standards and infrastructure
components.
The demonstration will take place at Burton Group Catalyst Conference
Europe. A Catalyst Conference ticket is not required, but attendees must
register by contacting Burton Group at ajohnson@burtongroup.com.
