Relationship To Existing Work
There has been a very large amount of work in delegated/federated
authentication systems, ranging from RADIUS/DIAMETER to
Shibboleth, Liberty, and SAML. It's not clear from this document or
from
the charter why something new is needed here...
Just having returned from a workshop at Harvard with many of the
important players in the extended identity universe, in which we
touched on most of the major existing standards and proposals (e.g.
Microsoft's) in one way or another, I can relay that I have heard
that concern repeatedly. Everybody pretty much now agrees that we
need more interoperability, not more stovepipes.
Personally, as I have indicated previously on this list, I think
there are a number of things that the IETF could usefully do
complementing rather than replicating other people's work, but I
concur that this has not be articulated so far.
Method of ticket validation ...
Are you basically proposing a variation of OpenID authentication, or
do I misunderstand you?
