Podcast: An identity layer for the Web
Digital identity is fast undergoing a quiet revolution, one that situates users at the center of identity transactions, granting them greater control over their credentials as they navigate the Web.
The movement, labeled "user-centric identity," is working to refigure identity relationships into a more intuitive structure, bringing, in some cases, the wallet and ID card metaphor to digital identity transactions and, in others, allowing URLs to vouch for user identities.
Kim Cameron, chief identity architect at Microsoft, is a central figure in this movement, for which his Seven Laws of Identity provide a foundation. So intriguing is the model that some see user-centric identity technologies such as OpenID and Microsoft's CardSpace figuring prominently in the enterprise's quest for federation.
InfoWorld Contributing Editor Phil Windley talks with Cameron about the advantages of placing the user at the center of enterprise identity systems via these burgeoning technologies.
