An Apology
Today, I will be saying very little about OpenID
Joint Information Systems Committee
What are we talking about?
Identity 2.0??
Joint Information Systems Committee
“in Identity 2.0, usage of identity more closely resembles today's offline identity systems, but with the advantages of a digital medium. As with a driver's license, the issuer provides the user with a certified document containing claims. The user can then choose to show this information
when the situation requires.”

Questions
When is it better for the institution to physically host the resource for an end-user? Institution provided blogs, wikis, google video etc.?
When is it better for the institution to manage an identity for the end-user? (registration / revocation).
When is it better for the institution to verify identity for service providers? (authentication)
When is it better for the institution to broker access to resources for the end-user (authorisation process)? Can this be disaggregated from all service providers?
Do we have the infrastructure to allow institutions to broker access against a user-managed identity?
Where will this be important?
Who benefits, and where?
Joint Information Systems Committee
So, OpenID?
Important role to play in providing the infrastructure to allow us to move forward.
Better than e-mail verification.
Role for institutions as an OpenIDprovider?
Links to ‘policy-lite’ approaches.
Single digital identity very important.
Great for people without an identity provider.
