OpenID and Usercentric Identity: It's All About Me

OpenID and User-Centric Identity: It’s All About Me Nicole Harris, JISC Executive Joint Information Systems Committee

An Apology Today, I will be saying very little about OpenID Joint Information Systems Committee

What are we talking about? Identity 2.0?? Joint Information Systems Committee

“in Identity 2.0, usage of identity more closely resembles today's offline identity systems, but with the advantages of a digital medium. As with a driver's license, the issuer provides the user with a certified document containing claims. The user can then choose to show this information when the situation requires.” Burton Group Joint Information Systems Committee

What are we talking about? The multiple identity problem? Joint Information Systems Committee

No Direct Relationship Between User-Institution-Resource Joint Information Systems Committee

Questions When is it better for the institution to physically host the resource for an end-user? Institution provided blogs, wikis, google video etc.? When is it better for the institution to manage an identity for the end-user? (registration / revocation). When is it better for the institution to verify identity for service providers? (authentication) When is it better for the institution to broker access to resources for the end-user (authorisation process)? Can this be disaggregated from all service providers? Do we have the infrastructure to allow institutions to broker access against a user-managed identity? Where will this be important? Who benefits, and where? Joint Information Systems Committee

So, OpenID? Important role to play in providing the infrastructure to allow us to move forward. Better than e-mail verification. Role for institutions as an OpenID provider? Links to ‘policy-lite’ approaches. Single digital identity very important. Great for people without an identity provider. Joint Information Systems Committee

What is JISC Doing? Full review of access and identity management against the Information Environment. Identity Project: reporting soon. Focus on current landscape within institutions. OpenID / external identity provision study to be commissioned. Identity Metasystems study to be commissioned. Personalisation study. E-Portfolio work: ULN?? Importance of links to repositories work.
