Presentation by Peter Skopek (JBoss by Red Hat) delivered at the London JBoss User Group event on the 30th of April 2014. Presentation Introductory talk to PicketLink from Federation through to Identity Management. What is PicketLink? PicketLink is an umbrella project for security and identity management for Java Applications. PicketLink is an important project under the security offerings from JBoss. A Picket Fence is a secure system of pickets joined together via some type of links. Basically, the Pickets by themselves do not offer any security. But when they are brought together by linking them, they provide the necessary security. This project is that link for other security systems or systems to bring together or join, to finally provide the necessary secure system. For more information visit http://picketlink.org/
