IoT? The ‘I’ needs to be ‘Identity’  

Paul  Madsen  CTO  Office,  Ping  @paulmadsen  

We’re  s9ll  only  at  the  diaper  stage  in  the  IoT  

The IoT still has its training wheels on

The IoT is nothing but hot air

The IoT is sure to go through labor pains

THE INTERNET OF THINGS IS COMING

What are we going to do about it?!

(In this !

Room)!

Only identity can provide the necessary organizing principle by which we can enable, manage and control all these relationships

•  OpenID Connect normalizes an identity layer on top of OAuth 2.0 •  Newly standardized from OpenID Foundation •  Adds identity semantics to base OAuth flow to enable –  a web SSO model (like SAML) –  User attribute sharing

•  Arguably matches functionality of SAML, though with a more modern architecture

FIDO

•  Fast IDentity Online is 2 yr old standardization effort

•  Spearheaded by PayPal, Google, NokNok Labs, Microsoft and many others

•  Standardizes interaction between client authenticators and authentication servers by which client can demonstrate possession of a crypto key

•  User authenticates with local authentication method to unlock a key so it can be used for authentication to server.

•  For biometrics, doesn’t require biometric information be stored on servers – stays local

Made  for  each  other  

FIDO? Mature federation protocol seeks youthful authentication standard for integrations AND MORE. I enjoy long redirects on the browser, but detest form fill. I’m tired of insecure password posers – and am looking for something real. If you think you are ‘Something I (Should) Have’, let’s Connect!

“Smart  Lock  for  Android  keeps  your  phone  or  tablet  unlocked  when  it’s  safe  –  no  PIN,  pa`ern  or  password  needed.  And  when  your  device  senses  it  may  not  be  safe,  it’ll  need  to  be  manually  unlocked.  Android  can  do  this  by  recognizing  signals  like  its  proximity  to  that  fly  smartwatch  on  your  wrist,  your  safe  home  loca9on,  even  your  voice.”  

1.  A variety of devices interact with users, both actively & passively, to collect context and communicate signals to authentication server

2. Aggregated & analyzed 3. Relevant identity attributes

encapsulated in tokens 4. Token communicated to application 5. Rinse & repeat
