Internet Identity Workshop 10 - Introduction to the User-Centric Identity Community

May 17th 2010
INTRODUCTION
by Kaliya Hamlin @identitywoman

Tuesday, May 18, 2010

We have been meeting together every 6 months since the fall of 2005.
The Internet Identity Workshop is the work group of Identity Commons
an industry consortia & community linking many efforts focused on a
people centric identity layer of the net.
The Workshop provides open forum for both the big guys and the
small fry to come together in a safe and balanced space. It is not about
any one technology - rather it is a place to discuss multiple
interoperating (and possible competing) projects, standards, and
networks for identity, data sharing, and reputation.

IIW is Co-Produced by Phil Windley (@windley),Kaliya Hamlin (@identitywoman) & Doc Searls (dsearls)
IIWX is being co-facilitated by Kaliya Hamlin and Heidi Nobantu Saul (@nobantu).
The Notes Collection Center is being run by Kas Neteler (@kasneteler) and Heidi Nobantu Saul.


SHARED VISION for people’s identity
on the scale of the web.


Freedom
and
Autonomy
for People

Open Standards
are Essential


No One
Dominant Player


There will be a
Big Bang
With all new technologies there is a point at which new things start
happening that the creators of the technology did not envision this is a
big bang in identity.


Mission statements:
• Identity Commons: Support, facilitate, and promote the creation of an open identity layer
for the Internet, one that maximizes control, convenience, and privacy for the individual
while encouraging the development of healthy, interoperable communities.

• Information Card Foundation: Promote, protect, and enable the development of an open,
trusted, interoperable, royalty-free identity layer for the Internet that maximizes control over
personal information by individuals

• OpenID Foundation: To foster and promote the development of, public access to, and
adoption of OpenID as a framework for user-centric identity on the Internet; and To acquire,
create, hold, and manage intellectual property related to OpenID and provide equal access to
such intellectual property to the OpenID community and public at no charge.

• Kantara Intiative: Foster identity community harmonization, interoperability, innovation,
and broad adoption through the development of open identity specifications, operational
frameworks, education programs, deployment and usage best practices for privacy-
respecting, secure access to online services

• Open Identity Exchange: Collecting aggregating, and distributing information regarding
the identity-related services industry to businesses and other stakeholders in that industry in
order to improve conditions in that industry by fostering innovation, market transparency,
and identity-related product and service interoperability; Providing a neutral, open market
registration system for participants in the identity-related services industry;

• Data Portability Project: Data portability enables a borderless experience, where people
can move easily between network services, reusing data they provide while controlling their
privacy and respecting the privacy of others. Our Mission is to help people to use and protect
the data they create on networked services, and to advocate for compliance with the values
of DataPortability.

CONTEXT For Shared Vision

IDENTITY GANG!
formed in 2004


Early on the Identity Gang list was a critical forum for community
collaboration it is still active here & many of the protocol efforts &
foundations that have emerged have their own lists.

http://lists.idcommons.net/lists/info/community



The Identity Gang was probably one of the ﬁrst technical communities to have a very active
community blog life that complemented our mailing list conversations. Doc Searls played a
critical role in getting almost all community members to blog in the early days of the
community 2004-2005.

There are several aggregated blogs you can go to get a sense of activity in the community.
The Classic - www.planetidentity.org/
A newer one under development - http://seriouslyidentity.com/



s
Wiki forums were critical for sharing ideas and
common language like the Lexicon


Real Time Web Tools

SEARCH

These are newer mediums for collaboration and
information sharing using #hashtags etc. to connect work.


a Shared Language


SHARED LANGUAGE
developed in Shared Context
Identity Gang LEXICON (driven by Paul Trevithick)
in August 2005
1.Agent 6. Entity
2.Claim 7. Identity Attribute
3.Claimant 8. Identity Context
4.Digital Identity 9. Party
5.Digital Identity Provider 10. Persona
6.Digital Subject 11. Relying Party

http://wiki.idcommons.net/Lexicon

SHARED LANGUAGE

Scott David’s chair of the ID-Legal group at
Identity Commons and council to several of the
organizations in this space is working with the
American Bar Association to develop a meta
lexicon across 15+ lexicons in related ﬁelds.

A Bill of Rights for Users of the Social Web September 4, 2007
Authored by Joseph Smarr, Marc Canter, Robert Scoble, and Michael Arrington

Preamble:
There are already many who support the ideas laid out in this Bill of Rights, but we are actively seeking
to grow the roster of those publicly backing the principles and approaches it outlines. That said, this Bill
of Rights is not a document “carved in stone” (or written on paper). It is a blog post, and it is intended
to spur conversation and debate, which will naturally lead to tweaks of the language. So, let’s get the
dialogue going and get as many of the major stakeholders on board as we can!
A Bill of Rights for Users of the Social Web
We publicly assert that all users of the social web are entitled to certain fundamental rights, specifically:
• Ownership of their own personal information, including:
◦ their own profile data
◦ the list of people they are connected to
◦ the activity stream of content they create;
• Control of whether and how such personal information is shared with others; and
• Freedom to grant persistent access to their personal information to trusted external sites.

Sites supporting these rights shall:
• Allow their users to syndicate their own profile data, their friends list, and the data that’s shared
with them via the service, using a persistent URL or API token and open data formats;
• Allow their users to syndicate their own stream of activity outside the site;
• Allow their users to link from their profile pages to external identifiers in a public way; and
• Allow their users to discover who else they know is also on their site, using the same external
identifiers made available for lookup within the service.

OECD Paper Properties of Identity
At a Crossroads: "Personhood"
and the Digital Identity in the
Information Society

http://bit.ly/OECDdigitalpersonnood

Properties of Identity
1.Identity is social. 6.Identity is consequential.
2.Identity is subjective. 7.Identity is dynamic.
3.Identity is valuable. 8.Identity is contextual.
4.Identity is referential. 9.Identity is equivocal.
5.Identity is composite.
OECD Paper At a Crossroads: "Personhood" and the Digital Identity in

The Properties of Identity were articulated by Bob Blakley, Jeff Broberg, Anthony Nadalin, Dale Olds,
Mary Ruddy, Mary Rundle, and Paul Trevithick.

Application of

XRI/XDI


OAuth

The user belongs to two different sites.

How can the user move photos from photo site to the
social network site without giving away the password
for the photo site to the social network site?

The user asked if they want to share - then
redirected to the site to give their permission


The photo site gives the social network site a token
to the social network that gives it access to their account.

A data tunnel is created between the user’s
accounts on both sites

A user posts photos and they can ﬂow from
one to the other - and they didn’t give away their password.
