Organizing principles for identity systems:
Burton Group Catalyst user-centric technology demonstration (20070628)
A highlight of the Wednesday evening hospitality suites at the Burton Group Catalyst conference was the "User-Centric Identity Interoperability Demonstration", in which a range of small and large developer organizations participating in the Identity Commons OSIS working group showed how they had implemented OpenID and WS-Trust protocols in their identity selectors, issuers and relying party components.
"Participants include projects groups Eclipse Higgins Project, Internet2 Shibboleth Project, The Pamela Project, Ian Brown (OpenInfoCard), XMLDAP, and SocialPhysics and vendors BMC Software, CA, FuGen Solutions, IBM, Microsoft, NetMesh, Novell, Nulli Secundus, Oracle, Ping Identity, Sxip Identity, VeriSign, and WSO2."
