Hosted Services and Identity Networks

Hosted Services and Identity Networks 01/07/2004 02:32 PM

An interesting area that could benefit from identity federation technology is the world of hosted applications.  Increasingly, companies are relying on outsourced applications to support their business, including in areas such as CRM, HR, Supply-Chain management, etc.  Corporations want to ensure that when their employees access these remote applications, that they are simply using their local security credentials (e.g. their Windows or LDAP Network login) rather than having to create and self-manage dozens or more remote Web applications.  Right now, enterprises are exposed to a significant risk of identity theft and fraud -- for example, if an employee leaves a company (or is asked to leave, as is more common these days), the company has no way to de-provision or revoke the credentials from all of the external hosted applications that the employee uses from their Work computer. 

This is just one of many drivers and forms of identity networks made possible by protocols such as Liberty, SAML and WS-Federation. 

PingID has put together a nice summary of the various Topologies of Identity Federation.

Microsoft Corp., together with six of the industry's leading identity management vendors, today previewed interoperable federated identity management solutions based on the Web services architecture (WS-*). Software companies IBM Corp., Netegrity Inc., Oblix Inc., OpenNetwork Technologies, Ping Identity Corp., RSA Security Inc. and Microsoft have successfully concluded work demonstrating how their identity management technologies interoperate using the Web Services Federation (WS-Federation) specification, part of the WS Security set of specifications. In his Tech•Ed keynote address today, Andrew Lees, corporate vice president for Server and Tools Marketing at Microsoft, showed how federated identity management based on WS-Federation and the WS-* architecture will simplify the work of IT professionals as they seek to cut the cost and complexity of passing identity credentials across security and organization boundaries in a Web services environment.

Are Identity Theft Protection Services
The Real Scam?


Are Identity Theft Protection Services
The Real Scam?
05/24/2004 03:05 AM
As identity theft has grown over the past few years, it's often recommended that people sign up for some sort of identity theft protection offering - which are usually offered by the big credit bureaus themselves. However, because of this, some are beginning to believe that the identity theft protection services are the real scam. After all, the credit bureaus now have more incentive to make you worried about identity theft, so you'll pay for these services, which can often run about $100/year. And what do you get for that $100? You get to do their job of preventing fraudulent credit information from appearing on your credit report. They're basically making you pay to check over your own record to make sure that they haven't screwed it up.

Peter Caputa unveils one of his secret weapons.

How to make money from Events.

This is just the beginning of a new era - where smart entreprenuers like Peter show us how to make money from micro-content.

Congrats to Peter and the WhizSpark team!

No wonder he's been so busy. But NOT too busy to help start OpenEvents!

Here's Peter's post.....

Welcome to the Unveiling of WhizSpark's secret Sauce. Most of you have seen the social network - mailing list tools - event directory part of WhizSpark.

And then you thought... "Do they really think they will make any money from that site?". The answer is probably no. That won't pay the bills or bring us to our next liquidation event. Unless, of course, we follow the monetization path of Friendster and MySpace of littering your screen with ads.

So, what will?

(Take a deep breath b4 you read this next sentence)

We are providing incentivized viral word of mouth permission based email marketing and branded hosted event websites with social networking functionality as promotion services for event planners, venues, charitable organizations, political campaigns, business seminars, musicians, conferences, etc etc..

I was waiting until I could show it, to talk about it. Because it is obviously not that easy to explain.

We are pleased to announce our first 3 big events/sales:

Edd ie Kennison Foundation's Celebrity Fashion Show, Dinner, Silent & Live Auction, Comedy Show.

Wor mtownnightlife.com 2005 Madden VideoGame Tournament.

Red 1888's Model Search Competition by Spothound.com (R-rated)

So, if you know anyone that qualifies as a customer (see the aforementioned list above), please send me an email or them an email. We'd love some referrals.

And if you are interested in any of those events, let me know and I can hook you up.
