J> 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.
Yup.
It would help to separate identity from policy/credentials, just as it helps to
separate identity from address.
One of the more curious things to observe is that the world of tcp/ip lower
layers has been learning about the need to *separate* the semantic construct of
identity from that of location, just as the upper-layered applications world
seems to be deciding -- in my opinion, quite erroneously -- to *merge* semantic
constructs.
