We brought together all of the projects we knew about touching on key aspects of innovating user-centric identity. This was our invitation:
The Internet Identity Workshop focuses on identity in the large. Providing identity services between people, websites, and organizations that may or may not have any kind of formalized relationship is a different problem than providing authentication and authorization services within a single organization. Many have argued that the lack of a credible identity infrastructure will eventually result in the Internet being so overrun with fraud as to make it useless for many interesting uses.
To solve this problem, or pieces of it, companies and individuals have made a variety of architectural and governance proposals. Some of these include (they are all linked back to the pages viewable in October 2005):
- The Liberty Alliance
- Microsoft's InfoCard system
- Identity Commons
- SXIP
- OpenIDv1
- LID
- XRI/XDI (i-names)
- Passel
The goal of the Internet Identity Workship is to provide a forum to disucss these and other architectural and governance proposals for Internet-wide identity services and their underlying philosophies. The workshop will comprise a day of presentations on Internet-scale identity architectures followed by a day of structured open space to accommodate the range of topics and issues that will emerge from day one and other issues and identity services that do not fit into the scope of the formal
