Microsoft to Demonstrate Federated
Identity Using Web Services 05/25/2004 11:30 PM
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.

NY AG Wants Do Not Identity Theft Law

NY AG Wants Do Not Identity Theft Law 04/18/2005 02:28 PM
New York's Attorney General (and gubernatorial candidate) Eliot Spitzer seems to show up wherever there's an issue that's getting a lot of press. He took on Wall Street companies, spammers and insurance scammers among many others. So, is it really any surprise that he's now decided to take on identity theft? Of course, there already are laws against identity theft and fraud. While they could be made better, it's not clear that's what's happening here. In fact, one of the proposed laws speaks directly to all of those recent data leaks from ChoicePoint, LexisNexis and others. It would create a "Do Not Share" list that people could sign up for, forbidding any of these companies to share your data. While this might sound good on its face, it seems to be based on the idea that there really isn't a good reason for companies to ever share your data -- which isn't quite true. Many of the conveniences we have these days is because of the data that's available. Granted, in plenty of cases it may have gone too far, and these companies have done a dreadful job -- but a full stop "do not share" list (which many people would quickly sign up for without realizing the impact) could greatly inconvenience many people. A much more reasonable solution isn't to ban all sharing of information, but to give people more control and visibility into (1) what information companies have about them and (2) how it's being used. That way, individuals can work to prevent the misuses, while still getting the benefits.

Identity Commons
http://www.idcommons.net/

* you could navigate the Web using one easy-to-remember password?
* you could enter your personal data once and use it on many Web sites?
* you had a simple way of determining how information about you is used and disclosed by others?
* you could ensure that your personal information and identity was controlled by one person -- you?

At Identity Commons, they are striving to make this possible by creating the framework for trusted electronic communications. These tools will make your communications simple and convenient, secure yet verifiable. Individuals will be able to decide just how persistent, portable and private their online identity is, relationship by relationship; organizations that support this form of communication will derive greater value from their customer/member relationships while enhancing their reputation with customers. Serving as the backbone for this new technology are data sharing agreements that establish the parameters for the exchange and use of personal information between users.

There I listened to a number of people talk about projects they've done or have planned and I heard industry spokespeople talk about products and protocols. But the most memorable comment, to me, came from Peter F. Wilson, who is retired from the Australian Tax Office where he was charged with implementing e-business and commerce.

Last time I talked about identity management for travelers in the 19th century based, as it was, on letters of credit and letters of introduction. The problem, of course, was that not everyone had friends influential enough to provide a letter of introduction that would gain you entrance to the things you'd like to see. A number of enterprising gentlemen stepped into this breech, including one whose name is still very well known, Thomas Cook.

Why Pay To Be An Identity Thief? 03/14/2005 05:27 PM
For all the furor over Choicepoint's selli ng of personal data to some identity thieves, some are pointing out that it doesn't make much sense for such thieves to buy the data when so much is available for free online. A professor has written a program searching out online resumes that often include the person's social security number -- making identity theft simple (and free). Of course, there are other methods of getting people's private info... such as offering to give them a cheap ballpoint pen or some chocolate. Even better, one study showed that people will give you their private info if you just ask for it nicely.

Identity Theft And Meth

Identity Theft And Meth 06/08/2004 10:50 AM
USA Today is running an AP article talking about how law enforcement is working on bet ter ways to combat identity theft, where someone mentions that all of those involved with identity theft also are involved with methamphetamine. That was certainly true of the profile of an identity theft ring we wrote about last year, but it seems like focusing on that aspect shouldn't be useful for very long. With the rate at which identity theft crime is growing, it seems likely that it, too, will start to get taken over by organized crime groups - and will become increasingly sophisticated. In other words, if you thought identity theft was bad now, it's only going to get worse. At what point will credit agencies and financial institutions realize that they need to take the issue of identity theft more seriously?

Last issue we began looking at the use of a person's e-mail address as the username needed for authentication in an identity management scheme.

Putting identity into context

Putting identity into context 06/17/2005 04:49 PM
Last week's newsletter about context ("Explaining the importance of context in ID mgmt.") elicited responses from a number of readers. A few readers - especially those who disagreed - appear to have a different definition of context. That's not really surprising, as some people whose job is designing identity architectures and services also appear to have a different definition than mine. I'd like to use an example that one reader submitted (Thanks, Paul) to try to further explain this. The example:

Still, each new year brings hope for a better life and to mark this hope we make New Year's resolutions - vows to better ourselves in some way. Last January, I offered three possible resolutions for the identity management industry - let's take a look at how well they were kept.

Last issue, I talked about the differences between WS-Federation and the Liberty Alliance schemes for federated identity. While having a free-ranging discussion with Arvind Krishna, IBM's Vice President of Provisioning and Security Development, I realized that the major obstacle to consumer acceptance of federated identity might be the issue of where data is stored: on the local PC, at a single "identity provider" site, or scattered among all of the organizations with which the user has accounts.

Firefox and browser lock-in

Firefox and browser lock-in 02/18/2004 10:37 AM

Browser lock-in is subtle, and Firefox developers should do everything they can to decrease it.

So I download Firefox, and I want to make it my standard browser. I open it. I'm browsing around, and it takes me a while to figure out how to create new tabs instead of new windows. Developers, make ctrl+N open up a new tab, not a new window. Make clicking a link that opens a new window open up in a new tab. Tabs are a major selling point, they should be the default.

I come across a page I like and I want to blog it. But my bookmarklet is on IE, not here. Developers, make an IE bookmarks import function come up automatically the first time I run Firefox. Have it ask me if I'd like to import the bookmarks. Make it painless. I'm at work and have no time to go hunt around for how to import bookmarks.

So I decide to spend a few minutes to create a bookmarklet here. (I'm motivated - I want to use those tabs!) I go to my movabletype page, and it asks me to login. I have long since forgotten my password (IE keeps me logged in forever). So I can't login and I can't ask for my password because I'm at work and the password gets sent to my home email. Developers, make Firefox import cookies when it imports bookmarks.

The end result is that I am forced to go back to IE, and Firefox may just sit on my computer never to be used again unless I find some time to set up all these things.
